    Everyone in our party of six enjoyed their meal very much. There was a wide variety of food at our table and all of it was excellent. Our waitress attended to our needs very well. She came back to check on us quite often. The atmosphere at the Midtown is upbeat. I would recommend the Midtown Oyster bar for any family occasion.

    My party had a great lunch of very fresh and delicious seafood, both appetizers and entrees. The service was very good and the price was reasonable. This was not my first visit and definitely not my last.
