    Jeff our server was top notch. From his recommendations to his service to his great personality. Then the food.....wow! The elk and sea bass were to die for. Our 30th anniversary was special as was our meal!

    This was our second visit to Oyster Rock and it was just as good as the first time. The food is amazing and prepared to perfection. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and the preparation and ingredients. The location is beautiful right there on the waterway. The only drawback is the noise. It’s difficult to carry on a conversation in the main dining area. It may be quieter on the patio. Either way, we will go back!

    The shrimp scampi was delicious, as always! Our clam chowder was wonderful, as was the broiled shrimp & flounder! We eat at Oyster Rock every time we come to the beach.
