    Wonderful staff, food and value. Be sure to make reservations or you may not get in until late. The "Appy Hour" from 3 to 6 pm is the best raw bar value in the area. Great cocktails and beer selections. For a small kitchen it's amazing how much food comes out and always delicious. Highly recommended stop in Federal Hill. Convenient $20 parking a couple blocks down the street.

    My favorite, please do not change a thing. When I have a bad day…or want to celebrate a great day …the Oyster Bar is my place. I do miss the original clams casino recipe.

    Our server Kylie took great care of us and made our date night perfect. Our food was delicious - even the broccoli! The oysters were amazing - everything was. The service from Adam at the bar was also perfect - Great drinks, but also bringing them out to us at the back rail. The little extra touches were all noticed. Food and service perfect all around. Great music, nice hostess, great table! Always a favorite spot!
