Earl’s Premier

Even though you’re one state over from Tornado Alley, this busy seafood bar will do its best to convince you that you’re on the shores of Martha’s Vineyard. Start with their rotating crudo (and hope for the scallops with radish and cucumber) and a frozen gin and tonic before digging into a shrimp cocktail and a dozen of the best oysters in town. The narrow restaurant has extremely nautical decor and a long bar where you can watch the staff shuck mollusks all night. Just know you’ll need to book Earl’s weeks in advance.
