    The waiter was attentative. We arrived at the restaurant. No one was at the wait stand. My husband order the prime rib. It was a horrible grisly cut of meat. He advised the waiter. No manager came over to see how his meal or any of our meals one. No adjustment to the bill. Would never go back. Also makes me question staying at a Marriott again

    The food was spectacular. They use high end ingredients that are well blended, and presented beautifully. The noise level in the restaurant is absurd. They have hard surfaces everywhere and a bar that runs the length of the restaurant. It's simply impossible for a table of 4 to have a dinner conversation, especially on a busy night.

    We live locally and have been wishing for a nicer restaurant with outdoor dining and a view of the water. Oyster River fits the bill. The shrimp and grits were amazing and salmon was delicious. Though the food could have been a little hotter. Our server, Tania, was very pleasant , knowledgeable and attentive. Don’t miss an opportunity to visit this restaurant. We’ll be back.

    We only had a variety of appetizers and salad and cocktails. But everything was great. Attention to details and service were above par. This was a team effort to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. They are great.
