The Scene – High ceilings, large mirrors, polished wood and brightly painted murals provide a sophisticated look. Sit at the bar or in one of the elevated tables. A full liquor license and savvy bartenders make this a favorite meeting spot for drinks and hors d'oeuvres. – – The Food – The focus here is seafood, although the filet is popular as well. Daily seafood specials are based on what's flown in fresh. Shrimp, lobster, crab, mussel, oyster and clam dishes are always on the menu. Favorites include the cioppino (a spicy tomato broth with a variety of fish and…

Great Service

by hcalger

The Market Street Oyster Bar has the best service in town. If you looking for a restaurant where you can relax, have a few drinks and get your food fast and fresh this is the place to go. I swear there's no such thing as a bad day to the servers here. They always greet you with a smile and continue to make the entire experience here delightful, especially Aaron, who serves during the day. I recomend anyone to go here any time of day. The food may not be the best, but the service and drinks make up for the food.

  • Pros: Service, Drinks, Aaron
  • Cons: Price, Parking, Crowd

Never again!

by kamibuckeye

Coming from the Atlantic Coast where good seafood is plentiful and great, I would rate this as a sad place for seafood. Everything is overpriced for the quality of ingredients and cooking that you are getting in return. I was very surprised that this place has received high reviews and was as crowded as it was the night we visited. The seafood was skimpy and not expertly cooked, the prices are too high, and the service too slow- although not inattentive. Expect to stay a good 3 hours for a full course dinner. The only good thing about this restaurant is the atmosphere and selection of beers and wines. I'm glad we only paid for a temporary membership because we won't be returning.

  • Pros: fun
  • Cons: slow, overpriced, bad seafood
