    Service has always been excellent. Food is excellent but expensive. The ambience isn’t bad but it’s nothing special; being waterfront helps. Can be loud at times which is amplified as they maximize the seating capacity. Reservations are strongly recommended. All in all a good place to eat.

    Went for Thanksgiving dinner and it was incredible. The price fix menu had a few options that made everyone happy. The best part was our server, Jessica D., who was one of the most attentive and kind servers we have ever had.

    We always enjoyed dining at Oyster Rock! It's one of our favorite places. The food was delicious, and the service was wonderful! I had the best Miso Soy Chilean Sea Bass! The view was beautiful! The general manager Patrick and his team did such a great job keep Oyster Rock running at its best! We highly recommend Oyster Rock for special occasion, family dining, special date night, and many more. You will not be disappointed!

    Had a great meal! Service was awesome (Jess) and the food was outstanding. We enjoyed calamari, salad, escargot and NY Strip W/ garlic smashed potatoes and coleslaw. What a great evening! We will definitely be back and I'll be sure to ask for Jess as our server! :)

    Oyster Rock is our favorite restaurant and has been since it first opened. It has a great atmosphere and amazing view of the waterway. Food, servers, drinks and management are nothing but the best. Seasonal dishes and specials are always good to try. However, when you find a favorite it’s hard to stray 😁
