Best Shellfish Restaurants in Greater Northdale

Oystercathers is situated on the water of Tampa Bay amidst tropical forest. There is complementary vale service. The atmosphere is nautical with high ceilings and a cozy bar as you walk in where if crowded, you can wait for your table. Service is friendly and very good. My wife asked for a dessert that wasn't on the menu and the chef made if for her (Creme Brule). The starters Thanksgiving dinner was oysters and raw fish, neither of which I nor my wife can eat, so the waiter arranged to bring us a very nice cheese and fruit board with flat bread, honey, mustard, and a jam. I would never have thought of honey and mustard pairing with different cheeses, but it was delicious. My Prime Rib was perfectly cooked rare with cheese mashed potatoes, a warm popover, green beans, etc. paired with both white and red wines. Oystercatchers is expensive, but in my opinion well worth the food and experience. And so did a lot of others as the restaurant was packed and when we left at 7:30 pm, there was still a crowd waiting for their tables. They have a Sunday Brunch that is very good as well. We will definitely be returning.

Excellent service from our waiter - he was cheerful and helpful. Food and drinks were good as always.
