My fiancé took me here for my birthday dinner. Our first waitress was not pleasant at all but they quickly switched her out to another waiter who was great! They have a cute side walk area to dine on. We had the oysters for the app which were out of this world and of course ordered the lobster which was fabulous, though was expecting more than whole potatoes for the side dish.

If you are prepared to spend money you will be thoroughly pleased. Amazing cocktail list. Crab cake is top notch. If you like oysters it's a can't miss spot.

This place has been a favorite since I've moved to this city 3 yrs ago. Great cocktails..Great staff. Ambiance...I'm sure the food is good however I've only eaten the oysters (which are delicious)so I can't talk much about the food.

Always a great experience here. The oysters are best in the city. Perfectly shucked. Cannot beat their amazing buck a shuck happy hour. Most establishments for buck a shuck, they oysters are not shucked well, are shucked too far in advance, or not as good quality. They do not skimp out at olde bar. Their west coast selection is always great as well. Other highlights include their amazingly well balanced drink menu, buffalo cauliflouer, the burger, and their fresh market fish. I have been here multiple times and have yet to try the steak, but my friend tells me it was excellent.
