    We were a group of 4, there was a bug in one of our dinners. The wait staff passed around the plate to view - very weird - then said they would bring a new plate. After a 30 minute wait and everyone else finished with their meal, we told them to forget it and just take it off the bill. They could have been much more apologetic and offered a free drink or something. Between appetizers, dinner and drinks, the bill was over $400!!!! Very disappointing!

    We loved the shellfish platter, the oyesters were amazing. Lobster that came with the platter was smaller than expected, maybe it is not the right season? Overall we enjoyed the food and the beautiful restaurant.

    When you read about NY you quickly come across this restaurant. It is worth visiting but be prepared to pay a lot for mediocre quality. We live in Europe and were disappointed in the size/price lf the oysters and other appetizers. On the otherhand the Branzino and clam pasta were certainly ok.

    We never come to town without stopping by the Oyster Bar. Our fave thing to do is just sit out in the open area in front and have martinis and the big oysters they serve. Or get a bowl of chowder at the lunch counter, or get a full dinner in the dining room. Either way it’s great.

    I had not been here in a long time and was pleased to see it open and doing well. The food was excellent. The service was very good. Prices were on the high side but that is to be expected with seafood. I will say I was surprised that they did not acknowledge our birthdays in any way. I was there with a friend who shares my birthday and although we did not necessarily expect anything, it would have been nice if they had acknowledged it in some way. I certainly recommend them.

    This iconic New York restaurant maintains its standard of authentic charm, freshest fish and superior service. Fish stew is the best ever. Menu is the longest in fish dishes. Bread and butter are delicious. A truly memorable meal.

    Nice place, great service, too pricey for regular food. Sadly, no options for people with food intolerances. This is my second time dining here, and while the attentive waitstaff deserves 5 stars, it’s truly hard to justify the price you pay for ordinary entrée that’s just “ok” in my opinion.
