OystercatchersFood was great. The serviceFood was great. The service a little slow, but I certainly would go again and will recommend the restaurant to friends.6/14/2013 12:00:00 AMWe really liked it!!We loved the modern decoration and the amazing views of the bay. The food was excellent, I loved the corn and crab bisque. The service was outstanding. All the staff went out of their way to please us.6/9/2013 12:00:00 AMBeautiful brunch!I booked the reservation through Open Table for a special occasion a few weeks earlier with a note regarding my partners 50th birthday. It had been a long time since I had been to Oystercatchers, maybe 10 years. I travel for work and have seen many "Sunday brunches" around the world. From the mimosas to the Lobster Eggs Benedict, I knew this place was special and different. The high quality of food available was outstanding. Piles of smoked salmon, fresh Gulf shrimp cocktail6/9/2013 12:00:00 AMAwesomeThis place has it all- ambience, service,phenomenal food, even sunsets. One of the best in Tampa bay for sure !6/3/2013 12:00:00 AMbest brunch that I know offood is excellent. great variety. fresh seafood. mimosas are good. service is attentive.
The view is superb.6/2/2013 12:00:00 AMMemorable SpotBeautiful spot / great for looking at Tampa bay- with a nice selection of seafood.5/30/2013 12:00:00 AMExceptional FoodThis has to be the best place for sea food in Tampa Bay area.5/30/2013 12:00:00 AMSuperior Service & FoodIn my reservation I mentioned that this was our wedding anniversary. From the moment we arrived until we drove off everyone we came in contact with were highly welcoming and performed their duties flawlessly. As has been my historic experience the food is just wonderful. I love the corn - crab chowder [a house staple] and it's as yummy today as it was in the early 90's when I first started coming to Oystercatchers. I can say without a doubt that in my 20+ years of coming here I've never been disappointed with any aspect of the experience. Oystercatchers is definitely a special place for both business and especially personal dining experiences.5/29/2013 12:00:00 AMMust do!Sunday brunch is well worth it for the price. Variety of seafood, salads, pastas, fruit, breads, omelets, and the classic breakfast favorites. Don't forget to leave room for deserts!5/26/2013 12:00:00 AMOystercatchers Brunch Is #1After having the pleasure of enjoying several of the finest brunches in the southeast, I can honestly say nothing comes close to matching Oystercatchers. The selection of delicious foods, quality of fresh seafood and their amazing made from scratch dessert room (yes, you read that right - an entire room of desserts) makes this the most decadent brunch I've ever enjoyed. Don't skip the Mango John Daly's at the bar. Included in the price of brunch and refreshing alternative to mimosas and blood mary's.5/26/2013 12:00:00 AMBeautiful viewThis was an enjoyable evening. Great sunset view. Great menu and service. Wonderful for a special occasion or for fine dining or entertaining guests to the area. Would highly recommend for indoor or outdoor dining or a visit to the bar.5/25/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellentWe took a chance since we were on vacation and not familiar with the restaurants in the area and very pleased with the food and the experience.5/25/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat Brunch!It's a little pricey, but totally worth it. Food is delicious, awesome service, and the view can't be beat! One of the best brunch spots I've tried. Brunch included unlimited mimosas, so the $50 pp cost is all inclusive5/19/2013 12:00:00 AMReally loved it!This is a perfect water view location with an amazing fresh fish menu. All their fish choices are fresh daily and can be cooked 3 different ways with 4 side sauce choices. We had the wood-grilled snapper and wood-grilled grouper both with the key lime caper butter sauce....YUM! It was incredible. I'm ready to go back! The strawberry goat cheese salad was also wonderful. Everything here is basically "tourist" priced because the restaurant is connected to the Grand Hyatt, but it was worth it. I would highly recommend for fish lovers.5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent Food and ServiceThough, our reservation was not found, they made up for it will an excellent view, terrific staff and a suburb meal. Everything about our visits was excellent from Vallet staff to our waitress. We felt so comfortable and relaxed, we were the last couple to leave at 11:15pm that night.
Would definitely recommend to anyone seeking great food and service. It is a hidden gem and will visit again.5/16/2013 12:00:00 AMThe drinks were great. I hadThe drinks were great.

Lunch with Melinda at the bar is always a joy. Lunch consisted of the crab cakes with mustard greens and onion jam. These were some of the best crab cakes I've ever had! I also got a complimentary serving of salman carpaccio (probably because I lingered there for so long!) Which was delicious, fresh and perfect for a light lunch.Dinner consisted of the tempura fried lobster tail for an appetizer, Main dish was the filet mignon and blacked scallops witha key lime butter sauce. The steak was oak grilled and so flavoful, perfectly done, and the scallops were as well. Dessert was an expresso martini Kudos to Melanie & Mike for providing outstanding service.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMI love Oystercatchers SundayI love Oystercatchers Sunday brunch, it's the best in Tampa!4/28/2013 12:00:00 AMAbsolutely awesome!

There have been recent changes to the menu, most of which are good but we were disappointed by the wine list. Unless you are a fan of wines from the south Pacific region (we are not) there are very few selections. This is a very popular restaurant with locals and tourists alike, so book early to ensure you are able to secure a well-positioned table.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMVery fresh seafood, althoughVery fresh seafood, although a bit on the pricey side.

Had the calamari fries and crab cakes. Hands down the best crab cakes in tampa. We also ordered the special snapper and I ordered a whole snapper. Presentation was excellent. Flavor was even better. Came out to the dining area outside to enjoy the firepit. They brought dessert over to the pit and we ate creme brulee and chocolate mousse until our stomachs couldnt take any more food! Overall a great experience and will be back again very soon.4/2/2013 12:00:00 AMThe quantity of lobster &The quantity of lobster & crab (salad plate) was skimpy for the price . . . but delicious!3/27/2013 12:00:00 AMEverything Was RightI made the reservation through Open Table. We were greeted immediately upon arrival and our reservation was all set. We were seated at a table with an ocean view, and our server was aware of our time constraint as I had indicated on the reservation.
Our server was very helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. The service was not rushed, although we did have to leave by a certain time to make our next engagement. The food was absolutely delicious.
Because the restaurant is on the pricey side, it's not someplace I can afford to go on a frequent basis, but it is a great place for a special occasion or an infrequent night out.3/26/2013 12:00:00 AMOysterscatchers is a greatOysterscatchers is a great place, one of my favorites for sure3/26/2013 12:00:00 AM
