Took a chance on Friday night with “Friday Night Art walk” about to begin and stopped by at 5:30 to see if there was an opportunity to grab a table. Sure enough got in. Attentive waitress and fast service. Great decor and ambiance. Had the...Jordan’s Fish dip and would have licked the bowl if I could have gotten away with it. Bread was warm and melted in your mouth. Had the grouper in a marinara sauce and it was extremely tasty. My wife had the snapper which she thought was delicious as was the grits type of material surrounding it. Certainly upscale but worth the tariff. Only downside bar was packed and five octaves above normal voice range.More

Visited twice the same week. Mateo was our server on the first visit, he was so great and knowledgeable we decided on a second visit the next day! Oysters and ere perfectly shucked the first visit. Happy hour menu was very small, but food was...delicious. You only get happy hour prices if you sit at the bar, menu is small during those hours even without getting the happy hour specials.More

The entree with two grilled lobster tails was out of this world. The variety and freshness of the oysters were unlike any we had before. We would go back time and again for the fresh fish and dining experience. Recommend going to the reservation and...not sitting at the bar as it is crowded and a rowdy bunch.More

We were lucky enough to score a table for 2 on the sidewalk. The service was great (thank you Sierra!) and the sushi rolls were fresh and tasty.

I went to the Oyster Bar with a girlfriend for an early dinner. Their wine list was very good. We both enjoyed Sonoma Cutrer Chardonnay. We shared a tomato mozzarella salad which had excellent dressing and burrata. Tomatoes were pretty ripe but nothing impressive. My...friend had grilled shrimp for her entree. She thought it was good. I had Tuna Tataki which was excellent. The tuna was extremely thin so you're not getting much. My main course was the salmon and avacado roll from the sushi menu. I enjoyed it very much. Salmon was good quality, avocado perfectly ripe. Again, small portion for the price and not very filling. For the price, very little fish and rice. Our waitress was great. She was professional and did great job. I rated it 4 out of 5. Value for the money 3 out of 5.More

We had reservations for outside around 6pm, but when we got there it was quite busy and they put us inside and told us that we had to be done by 7:30 that this table was reserved for that time (really???). First thing not happy...about. We ordered calamari which was not very tasty, rock shrimp that was just ok and some truffle parmesan fries (yummy) to start. We then split a lobster roll which was tasty but not very much lobster in it for the money. So mediocre!! The wait staff was great and attentive!More

Had an enjoyable evening at City Oyster with some friends. Sat in a spacious booth along the wall opposite the bar (less noise for sure). We started with a Cesar salad, the crab cocktail and A Tuscan kale salad. This was followed by fish and...chips, Seared Tuna and a Chirashi Sushi Bowl. Enjoyed some white wine with the meal. All in all a delightful meal with friendsMore

went for dinner with my wife on a Friday night. was recommended by staff from another bar for great sushi and seafood. we did not have reservations and showed up at 6:00. had to wait an hour for a table but that was to be...expected. we were actually hoping to sit at the bar but we noticed quickly that there are many locals that have those seats and pass to their friends as they leave. not an issue but something to think about when its busy. drinks were very good with excellent bar service. we were seated at a table and had an excellent waitress. we had oysters, sushi, a great roll, bisque and saled. very nice selection of wine as well. only issue i noticed is they brought all the food at the same time..... very lively place on Atlantic. get a reservation or be prepared to wait.More

Friends and I were at the Delray Beach Art Festival and had lunch here. Before I get to the food, let me say the interior of this restaurant is very cozy, inviting, nice and sort of upscale but not stuffy. Sort of like a French...bistro interior. Our waiter Peter was pleasant and very accommodating. Friend #1 had a grilled chicken salad dish and she was happy. Friend #2 had the fish and chips and he was very happy. I had the lobster roll with fries and greens and I was happy. I do not live in the area but when I go to the art festivals in Delray, I would definitely returnMore

We come here as a family whenever I’m in town from San Francisco because we all love it here. They always have unique dishes, amazingly fresh and delicious seafood including sushi and sashimi, and consistently yummy oysters. The servers are very gracious and patient with...my elderly grandmother and it’s one place we can all come as a family where every single person ends up happy!More
