Why We Like It

That one of the city’s best coastal seafood spots was built in an old ham-aging facility is more a flex than a matter of irony; elements of land and sea are both well represented here. The patio and lawn seating up front channel New England summers, and the butter burger is no afterthought. Of course, the ocean is where The Optimist shines, whether your picks from the raw bar are fresh, fried, or wood-roasted in the flames of the hearth.

Need to Know

$5 Valet service is offered through the Brady parking garage, located on property. Additional surface street parking is available throughout the neighborhood, as well as additional lots in the area.
