    The seared ahi tuna tataki's flavors were outstanding and the presentation of the scallop dish was gorgeous. A culinary experience!

    Booked this through Opentable, made notification that was celebrating my birthday and please place us in a quiet space next to the window to see the view outside. Service was very poor, they sat us at a quiet table next to the window facing a building wall. No happy birthday salute. Worst birthday dinner booked on Opentable ever. Don’t go here expecting to be treated special. But flip side I have had a great time sitting in the bar.

    Excellent service by Matthew. Friendly with good advice on entrees and dessert. Great ambiance. Downside: elevator was out and NO decaf coffee. Would have been perfect with dessert.

    We shared six different items from app to salad to small plates. All were truly delicious and unique. Our server was also outstanding, pacing our meal perfectly.

    Good food but the service and attention to detail was poor, especially for a fine dining experience. I had to insist in getting my dinner after waiting for nearly 2 hours while most other customers seated well after us already received and ate their food. Had to have other personnel track down our server.

    Food and service are always spot on at the Oyster Loft. We had one dozen oysters from Monterey Bay, crudo sampler, octopus, and beets. A wonderful Viognier accompanied our dinner, topped off with a scoop of salted caramel ice cream. Lovely restaurant with fresh seafood and good service.
