   The food was spectacular. The service was outstanding. The only issue was the restaurant had no hand wipes or finger bowls to clean your hands after eating a seafood tower appetizer. With small bathrooms, hand washing was not easy to gain access to. At this price point you don’t expect your hands to be sticky and engulfed in a seafood smell for the duration of your meal after ordering a $113 appetizer. They were out of handi-wipes according to the server. That should not happen at a restaurant charging this much. Will I return? Absolutely, I just won’t order raw seafood appetizers.

   Oyster River is good. Had cappuccino and Sea Bass… awesome then a ricotta brûlée….. great view on the 8th floor…. Expensive but a great atmosphere and culinary skill.

   Restaurant is beautiful. Oysters Rockefeller were the best I’ve ever tasted. Carpaccio was also outstanding. Fillet steak and scallops were also extremely delicious. Deserts did not let us down. It was a beautiful evening and we were happy we went.

   The drinks and wine were very good The Amuse-bouche was delicious- a tempura shrimp roll w fried carrots on top! Should be a menu item! Burger w homemade chips was very good too! Brussels sprouts were just ok

    No doubt the best meal I’ve had in the whole of the Tampa Bay area. Charley’s, Berns, OysterCatchers, Eddie V’s and Del Frisco’s included.
