   A very good, local spot to enjoy oysters, seafood, and a good drink. We enjoyed a dozen oysters, burrata, and split and entree and all were excellent. The only thing that kept the review from being a five-star was the hit and miss on service. Bartender was great, host staff, not so much as they seemed a bit overwhelmed without an overwhelming situation. Primary server was hit and miss, but received great support from servers passing by the table. All that being said, this is one of our local favorites!

   Where do I start on Sweetwater Oyster Bar! My husband and I found this small sweet gem about a year ago. High end food and cocktails. Happy Hour menu, you can eat off that. The day specials have been so yummy! I just had the Lamb chops, mash potatoes and roasted carrots. My husband loves the Halibut. Oysters; they are easy to please your taste. Fresh and very tasty, from the Gulf coast to the North East. Meet us there on Friday Nights!

   Another great meal at Sweetwater this week. Service good as always. Drinks were awesome (Drunken Mermaid and Ocean 11), one dozen gulf oysters served ice cold... delicious! Halibut Florentine and Greek Octopus both remarkable. Continue to highly recommend Sweetwater Oyster Bar!

    Overall, we had a great time! The food was delicious, though even with happy hour pricing, we found the value a bit steep for the portion sizes. Our server was very friendly and attentive, but since we were seated on the porch by ourselves, it was a bit challenging to get our check. It took around 15 minutes before we were able to catch someone’s attention. Despite these minor setbacks, we enjoyed our experience and appreciate the service. Thank you!
