   Dinner on the terrace here was lovely and made better by our waiter, Gabriel. He was Attentive, friendly and gracious. My husband’s meal - lobster linguine- was so tasteful and impressive. My filet arrived barely warm which was disappointing especially for a restaurant at this level. The kitchen took it back and did return it at a proper temperature. I’m not even particularly fussy about my food being hot, but a steak being barely warm is not acceptable. The wine list leaves much to be desired as it’s very limited with 96% of it Californian. So many great wines not on there. Our overall experience was enjoyable and made that much better by Gabriel. The view and sunset was stunning.

   This was our second time at Oyster River and it did not disappoint. Charles was a terrific server and our god was cooked to perfection. The sunset views were terrific. I especially appreciated the fact that even though it was Valentine’s Day they didn’t pack people in- tables were nicely spaced. I recommend!

   Absolutely beautiful atmosphere. Our waiter James was wonderful. The music was a bit loud for conversation, but james was more than happy to adjust the sound for us. The food and drinks were fabulous. This was an anniversary dinner, and they made sure to treat us well. We will definitely be returning for future special dinners and/or drinks.

   The view from the dinning area is great! We went on a rather cold (50s) night and chose not to be on the terrace, but what a view. My husband opted for two appetizers, octopus and oysters Rockefeller. He enjoyed every bite. I had the wagu steak and Brussels sprouts. Steak cooked to perfection! Drinks are also very good. Try the “eighth floor”. Service was super! From the greeter at the elevator to the assistance waiters. Waiter was very good, ready to make suggestions and make sure everything was satisfactory.
