   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!

   The menu is good if you are looking for shellfish - it's a nice mix small plates. And everything we ordered was good. The setting is a little weird. Inside, you are in a very high-ceiling, plainly decorated space which is mostly a bar and high pitched voiced are echoed. Outside doesn't have much charm. I think I would like the Oyster Bar more in a different space.

   A very enjoyable dinner with friends. We all love this place and have been coming here for years. The menu is updated to current local available items where possible as are the oyster choices. Good and attentive service that is not pushy.

    We had such a great time and the food was fabulous, the best we have had in quite sometime. The oysters were great as expected and we decided to go with 3 small plates and one dinner. Nikko our sever got everything right with his suggestions. The tuna poke, duck confit, chowder and fish tacos were fabulous. ( every bite)
