Short & Main

Don’t let the simple idea of oysters and wood-fired pizza fool you. Short & Main’s relaxed sophistication has drawn Boston’s foodiest foodies north since it opened in 2013. If you like from scratch, locally sourced cooking, here you go. The cocktails are lovely as well and on most weekends, a bar upstairs serves old school tiki drinks. Its sister restaurant The Market (33 River Rd.; tel. 978/282-0700) is an equally satisfying dining experience, although it’s only open in warmer months and reservations are nearly impossible.
