    Had a wonderful meal at the oyster bar and even though we were the last people there, they didn’t hurry us out the door, and they were more than gracious the whole time

    Aiden was an awesome bartender! Very personable and made our experience so much better. Sat at the bar without a Rez on a Saturday night and had no problem getting a spot. Amazing food and he makes a meannn dirty martini

    Wonderful staff, food and value. Be sure to make reservations or you may not get in until late. The "Appy Hour" from 3 to 6 pm is the best raw bar value in the area. Great cocktails and beer selections. For a small kitchen it's amazing how much food comes out and always delicious. Highly recommended stop in Federal Hill. Convenient $20 parking a couple blocks down the street.

    Providence Oyster Bar is one of our favorite places to dine. We were fortunate enough to have a great table, and Kelly for a server. She is very knowledgeable and, since I have (celiac) she makes sure that whatever I order has no gluten in it. We will definitely return.

    My favorite, please do not change a thing. When I have a bad day…or want to celebrate a great day …the Oyster Bar is my place. I do miss the original clams casino recipe.
