The seasonal raw bar (and more) on the Sherman Zwicker schooner docked at Pier 25 is magical. If you can’t score a reservation, you’ll probably have to wait in line for a seat at the main circular bar, smaller oyster bar, or the tables along each side. The boat rocks quite a bit, which you may or may not enjoy. The menu is small but the food is good, and the bar says off-menu drinks are not allowed. The service is warm, without the attitude you might fear from a place with this much style. (P.S. Ignore the map above; Grand Banks is at the end of Pier 25, at Harrison Street.)
