I had not been to Oystercatchers for a while, and read some negative reviews, so I was a little skeptical when my husband and I went there last evening for dinner. Everything was perfect - wonderful ambiance, food, service (entrees pricier than we usually pay - $25 - $30 - but the seafood was fresh and prepared perfectly, and the... more

From the moment we entered Oystercatcher's we were impressed. Staff was very friendly and the surroundings beautiful. Every detail was thought of in this restaurant. We tried the crab cakes, oysters, Blackened scallops and the mixed seafood grill. I did find the smoke flavor a bit strong for me on the mixed grill, but my husband enjoyed it. Service was... more

So disappointed. Went for dinner on Saturday night with 18 folks for our 40th Anniversary. It a very posh venue with beautiful views, but that is where my positives end. We would have done better by going to Golden Coral Buffet. My SeaFood Mix was way overcooked and all sauces were brought on the side for tasting. This meant that... more

My wife was at a meeting so my toddler daughter and I went. I was a little nervous going to a restaurant with a little one. No need to worry, the staff was great. The decor was very upscale and the view was magnificant. I ordered the Tuna, it was cooked perfectly, and the vegetables were very flavorful. I can't... more

Went to Oystercatchers for lunch on my birthday. The service was stellar, the food was fresh and delicious, the view of the bay was beautiful, and the atmosphere was understated elegance. I would highly reccommend this restaurant for any special occasion. Pricey, but well worth it. more

So disappointed. Went for dinner on Friday night. It a very posh venue with beautiful views, but that is where my positives end. We would have done better by going to McDonalds. In fact, one of the sauces tasted like Big Mac Sauce that you would take from the packets and squeeze into a delightfully pretty bowl for show. My... more

Our anniversary dinner at Oystercatchers was perfectly amazing from the outstanding service we received from Andrea (our server) to our delicious dinner and dessert. Even the view we had from our table - next to the window overlooking the water was simply amazing. We will definitely be back! more

I had not been to Oystercatchers since they had redone it. I went for the Sunday Brunch as we always did for the fantastic Champagne Brunch. Unfortunately, that brunch no longer exists! They have traded in the chocolate fountains for a dry assortment of cakes and cold creme brulee. The omelette station is now some sort of organic two-long-to-remember name... more

I don't know if I would call it amazing, but if you get a table with a good view of the Bay it is very nice. more
