    Always a great time at The Oar! Great 2 piece band tonight, music was excellent. The apps including skillet mussels and oysters rockefeller were perfect. Entrees included the prime NY strip, tender filet, swordfish cooked perfectly. The dessert including chocolate chip bread pudding, tartufo and apple crisp were all very good. Our waitress Blossom is outstanding and Mike at the bar is the perfect mixologist.

    Saturday night at the Oar. It's rocking with music in the bar and lots of full tables. Perfect oysters on the half shell. Yummy fish and chips. Delicious roast duck. A glass of wine that is a full glass, not one of those half glass pours. Excellent service.

    Stating with the very good warm rolls and dipping oil. Then the lobster sliders and baked calms, both were very good. The seafood bisque was ok. The sliced tuna on salad was disappointing. While the salad and Asian dressing was fine, the tuna was not edible. My Caesar with chicken was also off. The romaine was crisp and chilled, but the chicken was dry, and the dressing had no “Caesar” just as bland as plain oil. Our server was fine, but she never asked how we enjoyed our meal, even though she saw all of the tuna that was left on the plate uneaten. I didn’t complain, maybe I should have. But, I’ve enjoyed the oar many times so I’ll count this as a “one off.” Still, a worthwhile place, especially in the warmer months when you can sit outside.

    The restaurant was nicely decorated and I think it would be lovely in the summer when you can see outside. It was crowded and extremely loud, making it very hard to hold a conversation. The sound seemed to echo off the glass and ceiling. The food was good, if pricey. Two of our party loved the blood orange margaritas, and everyone raved about dessert.
