Alex WinterMarch 17, 2011Get the lobster stew! Amazing! Do NOT get the fish and chips, very disappointing...
Crystal GinnMarch 6, 20092 dozen oysters (highly reco the Hama Hama) and white wine at the fabulous Oyster Bar @ Grand Central. I try to go every other month. It's a must!
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.
Jay ShawDecember 23, 2010Good selection of Rieslings, but who needs that when they serve a Kentucky Honey? Sit in the saloon.
Emily DangNovember 6, 2011The Manhattan clam chowder was hearty and delicious. Service was horrible- our waiter didn't like us sitting in the main dining area since we were only eating apps and drinking. I'm not coming back.
Try their Totten Inlet Virginicas. Consistently good. Clam Chowder is splittable for 2.
I love Raw bar. It is worth seeing. A show every minute.
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.
- 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.
Andrea RosenMarch 13, 2009Go to Oyster Bar alone, sit at the bar, and make nice with the staff. They slipped me a couple free Hama Hamas last time.
Betty KaplanNovember 13, 2010Cool space. Seriously overpriced. Super fresh fish. Lame garnish. What is so amazing about oysters?
Robin Taylor RothFebruary 9, 2010Wonderful place! Lots of oyster options, but great alternative choices, too. Enjoy!
Siobhan QuinnApril 5, 2012Mad Men Season 1 episode "Red in the Face" Don & Roger have a few dozen oysters and several rounds of cocktails here.
Luis Fernando Fernandez FernandezJanuary 4, 2012Good food, very nice environment but regular service. But good deal.
Give the WellFleet Oysters a try. You won't be disappointed...
Naomi ShiblesMarch 20, 2010Check out the Whispering Gallery right outside the Oyster Bar entrance. Eat in the saloon.
