    From the moment we walked in and they held the door open for us to quickly being greeted and sat at our reserved table it was wonderful. The appetizers were tasty. We had the Estia chips, octopus, and the beets. Our meals were served hot and in a timely fashion. We had the lamb chops, the sea bass, and the chicken dish. Everything was done well and they gave us the necessary attention without being overbearing. All of the food was tasty and no need to add anything to enhance the flavors. It is fine dining and the price reflects that but it is worth the splurge.

    We celebrated our anniversary on Valentines Day along with a million Eagles fans in town for the victory parade. The Oyster House was a bit crowded, but very understanding about our tardiness due to street closures. Julian, our server, was polite, helpful and attentive. My wife had the crab cake and I had the cod. Both were well prepared and nicely presented. The snapper soup was quite good as well. All in all, the Oyster House was a very good experience.
