   It is so nostalgic to visit this restaurant again after some 40 years.

   We were looking forward to our first visit to the Oyster Bar. It will be the last. Service was extremely slow, even though the it did not appear very busy. At least half of our orders came out incorrect or not at all. Chose a Caymus Cabernet from wine list, but that not what we received. We left very disappointed.

   A stalwart of NYC dining. Don’t miss the chilled vodka martini and the chilled salmon. Yum

   I haven’t been here in more than ten years, and it was just as wonderful as I remember. It will always be a NYC icon and a cherished culinary journey.

    Our waiter was very friendly, the oysters excellent, and my New Zealand fresh salmon absolutely delicious I’ve been going to this place for years. I’m always enjoy it and I think you get good value for money.

   The worst dining experience ever. We ordered linguine with clam sauce and fried oysters, but both arrived cold. I mentioned the issue, and the waiter offered to "heat them up" again.

   The two guys who greet and seat you were the only issue during our experience. They couldn’t have been more grumpy and rude. After we got through them everything was very good.

    The two men at the reception desk looked bloody miserable and did not welcome us and looked as though they did not want to be there . Other than that , the service and food was delicious
