Casual waterfront dining right on the docks of the Patchogue River, The Oar serves up fresh and delicious steaks and seafood. Chefs prepare specialties like coconut shrimp, 36 oz sizzling prime porterhouse, lobster quesadillas and fresh Bluepoint oysters and little clams which are delivered daily. Two dining rooms are decorated in traditional nautical style. The front wall in made up of French doors that open onto the water, providing dockside open air seating in warm months and picturesque views of the marina year-round. The rear dining room is elegant with raise panel mahogany, white table clothes and blue and white nautical stripe wall paper. We look forward to accommodating your special occasion in the separate catering room. The restaurant stocks full indoor and outdoor bars so you'll never miss a beautiful night at this fun and entertaining spot.

The food was not fresh. The fish seemed previously frozen and rubbery. The food overall was very disappointing

First let me say that we have been going to the Oar for many years. The food was always exceptional. WAS…. We both had appetizers, tuna and 1/2 dozen oysters… delicious. For our entrees we both ordered halibut which was cooked perfectly, but… it was served with half a plate of plain white rice! I intended to order a fish over risotto… but no, white rice! So disappointing. As if an afterthought rather than a planned meal. I doubt we will return!
