Island Creek Oyster Bar Included Among TripAdvisor's Top 10 Restaurants in America

A popular travel website that features user reviews of hotels and restaurants around the world has included a Boston dining spot among its top 10 places to eat in America.

According to TripAdvisor's "Travelers' Choice 2012 Restaurants" page, Island Creek Oyster Bar in Kenmore Square is ranked #8 among travelers' favorite restaurants in the United States. A couple of quotes shown with the listing of the Comm. Ave. spot state that diners "Can't say enough about our friendly, knowledgeable waitress. She knew her oysters and she knew her wines." and "Whether just meeting a friend for drinks or going for your anniversary, this is my first choice." No other New England restaurants made the list, and in fact only one other East Coast eatery was included--Le Bernardin in New York, which came in at #1.

Island Creek Oyster Bar is located at 500 Commonwealth Avenue within the Hotel Commonwealth. Its website can be found at http://islandcreekoysterbar.com/
