    We hadn’t eaten at The Oyster House in years, and much to our surprise, it was excellent in every way. Our server was friendly and very helpful in every way from drinks to desserts. We came for lobster rolls to compare them to Portland, Maine, where we had recently traveled and where the lobster rolls are phenomenal for freshness and large chunks of pure succulent lobster meat. But we must say that the lobster rolls are equally as excellent as any we ate in Maine, much better than we expected! And the homemade shoestring fries were perfectly cooked as well. We’d recommend this restaurant highly to anyone looking for a truly authentic seafood experience!

    We came here for our anniversary after first coming here three years ago. We ended up having the same bartender/server Robert. He was fantastic last time and this time. We had a great night and the food is top tier. We love good steak houses and this is the best around.
