Well done! Devan is a world class bartender, the decor is right on, the Oyster selection is huge.
Michelle DohertyJuly 10, 2013Normally good place but tonight it has taken 2 hours to get dinner. On a positive note management has been very attentive
Try the latest addition to the drink menu — Highland Punch!
Try a Bicyclette (Campari, St. Germain and bubbles).

Peter HonederMarch 19, 2012This place is great, i expected some random hotel restaurant but it is awesome!
- The Oyster Sliders are amazing! One person here described them as "a little slice of Heaven"!
- Wow, get the Snug Harbor Smash! If you like rum, you'll love it!
- Get the Baby Iceberg Salad — the Great Hill Blue Cheese is excellent!
Both the lobster roe noodles and the whole black bass are fantastic.
Amanda CFebruary 28, 2011Go for the Island Creek...yum! Stay away from the wild belon...very metallic!
- Try the McCarthy' Crossing: "a little bit of everything"
- The lobster salad is beautiful - comes with a tail and a claw
Try the oyster sliders. Order them without onions to actually taste the oysters.

We opened the Island Creek Oyster Bar to bring the restaurant to the farmer. It's a collaboration joining farmer, chef, and diner in one space. We welcome guests to get to know their oyster grower, harvester, winemaker, distiller, brewer, and fisherman. One meal at a time.

"Went during the offseason and the tour was still great. The tour guides are awesome."
Nicholas Kirsch - 8.5
"If you visit here during Baseball season, they have a $5 menu that is available between first and last pitch. It's a limited menu, but everything's $5 or less. Tasty, and worth every penny!"
Rob Sheppard - 7.0
