    Our waiter, Jeff, is the best!!! So are the lemon drop martinis, sweet potatoes, wedge salad, lobster ravioli and peanut butter pie. Every time we are in the area, we make reservations to visit and will continue to do so!

    We had an excellent experience at Oyster Rock. I took my friends who were visiting from Boston last night. Our waiter was fantastic and gave great descriptions on each special . We each tried something different. The Elk was the best choice. Tender and full of flavor.The trigger Fish a first for all of us was lovely . The smoked oysters and crab soup was delicious! We split a crème brûlée for dessert . The smokey bourbon cocktails were a great cocktail to begin our evening. I highly recommend Oyster Rock for a fabulous dining experience!
