Luis Fernando Fernandez FernandezJanuary 4, 2012Good food, very nice environment but regular service. But good deal.
Alex WinterMarch 17, 2011Get the lobster stew! Amazing! Do NOT get the fish and chips, very disappointing...
Christiane NickelMay 23, 2010DO get the Shrimp Cocktail or Cherry Stone ClamsDO fill up on cocktail sauce butDON'T get the Red Grouper very dry.
Try their Totten Inlet Virginicas. Consistently good. Clam Chowder is splittable for 2.
Robin Taylor RothFebruary 9, 2010Wonderful place! Lots of oyster options, but great alternative choices, too. Enjoy!
Brian BWMarch 15, 2014Disorganized. Terrible sidecar cocktail. Other cocktail came In broken glass. Was going to eat dinner but took so long for cocktails that we decided to go elsewhere. Not coming back. Logo weird too.
Naomi ShiblesMarch 20, 2010Check out the Whispering Gallery right outside the Oyster Bar entrance. Eat in the saloon.
Betty KaplanNovember 13, 2010Cool space. Seriously overpriced. Super fresh fish. Lame garnish. What is so amazing about oysters?
Tristan LouisMarch 11, 2009Stand in one corner in front of the Oyster Bar at Grand Central and have a friend stand on the other side and whisper. the other person can hear you...
Stephanie HallerMarch 18, 2011Oysters were great, as was the Manhattan Clam Chowder but the service during lunch was slow - waiter was movin' though. Just very busy.
derrick chenOctober 15, 2009Sit at the bar and order from the lunch menu - especially on a rainy day (like today).
Order the Kusshi oysters if they have them. In fall, the Totten Virginicas.
Czara JJune 25, 2010Let the server know you're sharing your chowder; they're nice enough to split it into two bowls.
