Great spot. Excellent food. The back deck is incredible

Delicious scallops and mahi mahi. Great vibe, atmosphere and Kim our server was friendly, accommodating, etc.

The food was amazing as always and I would have rated this 5 stars had the noise level been manageable. Two young children were in there pit of control with no apparent effort to quiet them.

Very pleasant surroundings and lots of dining environment options.

Anniversary

Great food, ate upstairs outside and ended up staying afterwards for the live music downstairs.

We had such a great time here! We arrived a few minutes early for our reservation at 7pm on a Saturday and were promptly seated in the outdoor section on the deck of the second floor. The heaters were lovely for the weather and the lighting set a perfect vibe. This was the last dinner of our Newport weekend and I'm so happy we came here. The food was all delicious, especially the oysters. (The very reason I got the res here.) In addition, we ordered the crab cake, lobster bisque, and the lobster primavera. More than anything else, our server, Kimberly, was simply amazing and genuinely so so nice. She was attentive, but gave our experience a relaxed feel as well.

Deidre was a great server. The grilled octopus was the best I have had in the world. Nice rustic ambience

We had a delightful lunch on the back deck. We split a garlic lemon shrimp and spinach salad- loved the dressing on that! The fish and chips were tasty, as was my salmon BLT. Our server was attentive and friendly- I wish I could remember her name because she was great.

Always our go to place when we first arrive in Newport and once again it did not disappoint. My chilled half lobster cocktail was superb and the scallop entree was delicious - scallops cooked perfectly and carrot edamame puree was very flavorful. Loved our server, Kim, who was extremely personable and most accommodating.

Excellent food! We had the char Grilled Octopus as an appetizer and it was the best thing I ate the entire weekend. Our dinner entrees were also delicious- I got the blackened mahi mahi and my husband got the jerk Swordfish. Our server was very friendly and accommodating. The service was very quick as well. Would definitely recommend!!

All-around excellent!
Highly recommended!
A total dining pleasure!

Great service and well prepared food! My wife’s scallops were perfectly seared and my blackened mahi-mahi was spot on!! Started with the lobster cocktail and little necks on the half shell. Everything was just right

My wife did not enjoy her entree of lobster primavera. My entree of seared yellowfin tuna was OK, though, and our desserts were pretty good.

Food was good. Drinks weren’t great- the glass of Pinot Grigio that I ordered tasted completely flat and had a taste of refrigeration-like it had been sitting open for a while. Then I ordered a Rose sangria which was literally a glass of Rose with a shot of peach schnapps and three grapes (which was the “fresh fruit” from the description). That was terrible.

It smelled like fish (not seafood) in the entire restaurant and was a little off putting. The menus were dirty and sticky. The menu items were way overpriced for good but mediocre food.

Actually ate here twice (lunch and dinner). Lobster roll was excellent at lunch.. Huge oyster selection, beet salad was wonderful, lobster bisque great, tuna tacos and striped bass also just as good! Great location and atmosphere

Fresh oysters, hamachi and seafood!
The restaurant appears to be just a bar, but if on a date or family night, ask to sit on the terrace upstairs. Much better atmosphere outside than in.

Will come back!!

Not surprisingly but the oysters are amazing! The seafood pan roast is favorable and delicious and the seafood is cooked perfectly. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Great place! Food was delish! Service was great! Highly recommend! We will definitely be back!

Everything was outstanding! the Oysters were amazing!!

Always a great experience dining at Midtown Oyster Bar!

LOVE Midtown Oyster Bar! On our list every time we visit Newport. Live music and bar on one side and a darker more private on the other (can still hear music). Great service and amazing oysters.

We had dinner here for our anniversary. The staff was friendly, although our waiter did not smile much. We got the salmon dinner, calamari app, lobster bisque and kale salad. The calamari was good, but not great. The kale salad was great, except for the not-quite-roasted pears. The bisque was wonderful. And the salmon was well cooked with tasty veggies on the side. Overall, good, but choose wisely.

We loved it

Enjoyed my time at Mid Town! From the appetizer to my dinner it was delicious. The staff were pleasant. My waitress was either tired or just having one of those days. She wasn’t on point. Except for that I enjoyed my dining experience. Will go again.

Our server was a bit flat and impersonal but otherwise this was a decent dining experience. Oysters were outstanding. Outdoor dining space was terrific. I would go back to this place of I were in town again.

Scallops were perfectly cooked!

Very relaxed!

The food was delicious and the wait staff was pleasant and very helpful.

My husband and I went to Midtown Oyster Bar to celebrate our anniversary. Both of us enjoyed the restaurant and would recommend it highly.

Great food and atmosphere. Location is in the heart of downtown. Wonderful raw bar oyster selection. Menu geared for seafood lovers.

It was ok but I wouldn’t go back. Lobster corn chowder had one piece of lobster in it. Entree salad was iceberg lettuce, fake bacon bits and too much dressing. Server knew it was my birthday and brought a piece of key lime pie (round like a muffin) it was delicious and I thought it was a nice gesture til I saw we were charged $10.00 for it!

Excellent service, food, and pleasant server. Will be back!

Fabulous experience! Starting with the host and finished with the server! 🥰

Outstanding oysters. Very fresh. Rib Eye steak and grilled lobster were cooked perfectly. Zero toughness to the lobster. Wine options by the glass were great. Booth seating felt safe from COVID and private. Kim my server was just excellent. Totally knows how to operate her job.

Had the seafood pan dish. Paella like dish. Rice wasn’t cooked.
Also thought the dessert portion quite small.

We had an excellent meal at Midtown Oyster. We had delicious oysters, the hamachi appetizer (a 10!), tuna and scallops entrees -- all outstanding.

Everything was very nice, server was attentive and nice, my food was slightly over cooked but other than that everything else was great!

food had very bad odor
