    Amazing and delicious started with the special tomato clam soup. It had a little kick to it, which was a wonderful surprise. Charbroil oysters on the half shelve were perfectly done. Had the scallops they melted in your mouth with every bite. The staff was amazing . Always making sure we were doing great. Definitely be back

    We made reservations way in advance, we were seated at the one table all by itself next to the door on the patio, It was clod, there was no light, I had to asked for a candle so we could see our food, Ridiculous, It took 25 minutes to get our first drink and he forgot mine and only brought one drink. :( We have dinned there many times and this was a terrible experience for valentines date, especially for the price. I would not recommend dining here.

    On a sunny day in January we chose Oyster Loft for a high quality dinner with a great view of the ocean and sunset. We sat on the patio anticipating a good view even though the space heaters weren't sufficient to keep us warm. Our fellow patio patrons also kept their down jackets on. The restaurant screens obscured our view of the beach and wharf. If we knelt down and looked out the unobstructed part, the view was lovely. Our waitress was very nice, but did not seem to remember that she was serving us. There were long pauses between her appearances. We wanted to order dessert and coffee, but were worn down by waiting for our waitress. The sablefish was outstanding. The blackberry mojito lacked flavor. When we booked our dinner at Oyster Loft we noted that it was our anniversary. Apparently, restaurants don't receive these types of notices. We thought there might be some sort of acknowledgement, but there wasn't.

    Staff were excellent and the food was out of this world, both in presentation and taste. A bit noisey due other tables which made it difficult to have a normal conversation.
