   We’ve always loved the oyster bar. We were sad when they closed for Reno but happy as hex when they reopened. Food and service were excellent. We brought our friends for the first time and they raved. ❤️

   So glad they reopened! Nadia is the best. The raw bar was fresh, chilled and worth the wait.

   Recently reopened. Simple menu. Can’t beat buck a shuck! We have the clam chowder, salmon poke bowl, clam cake, cod . Everything was great. Service was very attentive. Never feel ignored. Will definitely return for more.

   After almost seven months, Bristol Oyster Bar is back with a renovated interior and a new menu! It was good to see the staff who had returned, and the fresh decor, drinks, buck-a-shuck (4-5 pm today) and tapas-style small plates made for a great dining experience.

   Our dinners were all spectacular in presentation & taste -- oysters, callimari, swordfish & scallops. Very sad that we have to wait til March Madness for another meal. Bristol Oyster Bar is now closed til mid March!

   The atmosphere is okay nothing memorable. Chairs are extremely uncomfortable. Their small limited menu is not worth going back for at all. The waiter was very nice. The food we got for the price was so not worth its value. Tried it for the first time. Don’t think I would go back. There are so many other places worth visiting in Bristol. Was disappointed

   The oysters were sweet/salty and plump- just delicious! I had the grilled tuna steak and it was amazing. The other two guests had the pork belly BLT- phenomenal! And the crabcake sandwich, another incredibly good choice! This is why we return time and again!
