   Pleasant in the off-season, with decent choices beyond oysters. Its proximity to the beach probably makes it lively during the summer.

   As usual, great experience at Flying Oyster. Love the ambiance & the drinks are definitely crafted. Everything is limited so attention to detail is evident. Servers are thoughtful & not annoying or dismissive. A lot of folks but still has an intimate feel, table lamps help. The food is very nice. Nice. Not exemplary but very nice. Seasonal so adds to the mouth. We always enjoy it

   We had a very nice experience at the Flying Machine Oyster bar. We had a reservation for a rather large party and the ladies at the front desk were able to put together a large table to accomodate us on what was an unusually busy evening due to a major Xmas event. Our server, Dakota, was very attentive and was able to answer any questions that we had. The food was very good and the evening was enjoyed by all.

   The place was relatively quiet on this Wednesday night in early October. The local raw oysters were excellent, as was the local grouper special. There was a large variety of Flying Machine beers to choose from, though no porters or stouts. Our server Charlie was friendly and professional, as was Josh the bartender. The restaurant space is open and welcoming, with two small bars for additional seating - one in front of the bartender, and one in front of the oyster shucking station.
