   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!

   My wife had oysters and the octopus, while I had clam chowder and branzino. All of it was excellent. The wine selection is a bit limited but the cocktails were excellent, as well. We’ve found the choices for seafood in the Austin area to be limited so we were surprised to find this level of quality in an uncrowded environment. They deserve more business. We will definitely be back when looking for seafood while dining out.

   My wife and I have never had oysters so we decided to try something new and it was a really cool experience. The staff was great, the vibes were cool and the food was really good!

   Happy Hour was very disappointing. The quality and quantity of food was sub-par for the happy hour prices. The restaurant was also understaffed. We had high hopes because we liked La Joie, which was the previous iteration of this restaurant, but Sweetwater is not of the same caliber.

    Glad to have this small restaurant in Cedar Park. If you go during happy hour it’s best to make reservations due to size and seating. The seafood is some of the best we have ever eaten and the ambience is wonderful. Their small plates offered during happy hour are wonderful!
