   I have dined at this establishment multiple times and even recommended friends from the area go. Yesterday for the first time I was disappointed. I always order the lobster bisque and you can tell it is usually fresh. Yesterday I could tell that this bisque was a reheat as of the flavor plus the the lobster was over cooked. I order a burger medium-medium well. The burger came out well done. Other diners with me ordered the mash potatoes and they were not seasoned. I usually really enjoy your wisabi mashed potatoes. Also your espresso martinis are usually a work of art. My first order was horrible I had to send back and I struck the waitress on what the bartender did not include in the martini. After my instructions it came back much better. I can say I hope this isn’t a sign of relaxing on service and quality. I do not judge a restaurant off of one bad experience I will try again and hopefully it is back to how it usually is.

   Wonderful happy hour with many delicious selections—clams casino, whitefish croquettes, bang bang shrimp and truly the best oysters Rockefeller in the area. We started with a dozen delicious raw oysters from all over North America. For dinner—clam chowder with osso buco (it works!!), salad and bucatini ai vongole. Our drinks were delicious, too! We’ll be back!

   I went for my birthday and requested a birthday dessert when I made the reservation but the server didn’t seem to notice or care about that detail. The experience was underwhelming but the oysters were delicious.

   The food was excellent. And the oysters tasted great, so it lives up to its name. Our server tended to our needs. We had a difficult child with us but the restaurant did their best to accommodate our situation. I definitely would recommend people go to this place.

   First time here! They were short staffed and still managed to serve everyone timely! Our waitress was awesome....very helpful recommending which oysters to order....recommended clams casino which were wonderful....fried calamari outstanding! There were 2 waitresses for the entire restaurant and they kept running and smiling! Will definitely go back.

   We had dinner there on Sat night. 4 people . I was disappointed… The reviews are very good but here’s what we think Everything is ala carte and a big issue is having to pay for bread when the meals are in the 30 plus range and not one side comes with a meal. The portions are small. The food itself was good. But, we left hungry. And the drinks were interesting but just ok. Our server was fine… but I do find that just doing the minimum for your guests is off putting. I wouldn’t say it was a bad experience but we would not go back.

    The chef needs to put the Oregano bottle down… I had swordfish with with a large portion of red oregano sauce… I was told it was going to be with soy and Asian spices, somebody screwed up …….. my wife had Spaghetti & clams, all chopped clams from a can… 6 whole ones on top… Great location, good idea, needs to think execution…. If you are going to charge NYC prices real live clams and hold the sauces… you need to taste the food…

    We really enjoyed great food at brunch with amazing lump crabmeat topping my crab cake benedict. The hollandaise sauce was also fantastic. My husband said his fried oysters were outstanding and his side of bacon was cooked perfectly. My mimosa and his Bloody Mary were heavenly, and we are picky! Our granddaughter enjoyed a delicious fresh fruit bowl with her side of yummy bacon. Our waitress was simply delightful and made us feel very welcome, as did the hostess. We will definitely return!

    Both of us had the Dungeness Crab special, excellent, but be aware that they put Old Bay seasoning on it so if you don't like a bit spicy, ask for it not to be used. Next time I will do that. Also they serve corn on the cob with it but they put pepper on it so the corn was too spicy for me to eat.

    A bit disappointed in both the food and the service, but I won't say anything more negative about this place. If you like oysters, clams, etc., which I cannot eat, then try this place for yourself. It just is not my kind of place. I had a gift certificate that I had to use, so my wife and I experienced this place. Probably won't go back.

    First time dining at Fayetteville Street Oyster House. Great selection of oysters. We shared 2 dozen east coast. Really enjoyed the octopus with pork belly, calamari, the burger with Foie, excellent frites! Nice wine list, reasonably priced with some smart selections from a cruvinet, as well. Server was great.

    Good food but ahi tuna special very overcooked and dry- well done and was ordered rare. Good waitress but seemed either overall inefficient or understaffed. Rest of food very good.

    The staff was amazing, the host /manager went above and beyond to help us. The Bartenders were excellent . The food was very good, the waitress took her time to explain everything and describe each type of oyster. The stuffed branzino was some of the best. The drinks were perfectly balanced cant wait to return..

    Caught an early Valentines weekend dinner and was highly satisfied. After looking at the Happy Hour menu, we decided to only eat off that in lieu of entrees. Great variety and value. Oysters were only $1.25 each and very generous in size. I’ll definitely be back!

    We enjoyed our dinner and had excellent service. The food was delivered quickly, was hot and delicious. We just don’t see ourselves returning to pay such high prices for a meal where bread isn’t offered and even getting a vegetable with your dinner is an extra, and extremely high, charge. We know too many other places where the food is just as good, and more substantial, for far less money.

    We ordered 36 oysters and received 12. We ordered mussels and ahi tuna and we received two orders of mussels. Waitress said she thought we ordered “the same”. Oh and she explained, “we are out of the tuna anyway”. We asked for the check and left. Worst experience ever.

    I am a member upstairs at Cigar Republic and we have been waiting to eat here, finally it opened and we made a reservation. I took my father to dinner for his birthday. We ordered the Calamari, Octopus and Little neck clams in a white sauce. All delicious! Told the waitress to bring us spoons so we could finish off the white, wine, butter and garlic sauce left over from the clams! Scallop entree with Polenta and the Bronzino I give it the Italian Kiss! The bartender Danny is a gem he will set you straight with a cocktail, Peter the owner is a gentleman and all servers are great. The atmosphere and art work by Perry Milou is outstanding! You need to stop in for dinner. Put it on your list. Hot Spot in Conshy!

    Just a great place to dine. Crab cakes are the best I have ever had. I had the Milan Salad which was a meal in itself. Just delicious and paired with a crab cake - can't get much better than that. Brussel's were done the way they should be- really tasteful and crispy. The burger is excellent. Desserts all home made - just a great place and has become a fav. Definitely. a go back to place!
