TEAM: Island Creek Oysters owner Skip Bennett made Duxbury synonymous with the celebrated bivalve back in 1995 and they are still going stronger than ever.

VISION: After hosting numerous oyster festivals in the parking lot of the historic Winsor House Inn, the team looked at the property through the lens of Island Creek Oysters. After several months of renovation, the reimagined concept was introduced in November 2021.

VIBE: The modernized mansion built in 1803 now offers an oyster bar, a rum bar and an expanded dining room. A mural painted by a local artist in a dining area pays homage to Duxbury’s history as a shipbuilding town.

FLAVOR: Raw bar offerings take center stage, while executive chef Ben Fisher’s small plates with fun names feature “bait toast” and “ugly sliders” designed for sharing. Heartier specialties include “driveway clams” and their signature

“Winsor House Float Dinner,” a year-round clambake favorite.
