    Great views and amazing food. Service was excellent. Sawyer was an attentive and friendly server. We enjoyed the poke tower, chopped salad (which was so good) the New York and scallops. The scallops were huge and so delicious. It's a great spot for a special evening.

    My wife and I only visit what we would consider "high end" restaurants, once or twice a year for special occasions. This visit was for our 43rd wedding anniversary. We are locals and have visited the Oyster Loft on several occasions over the years. Every time is a treat. Matthew was our server and was delightful and attentive throughout the dinner. He also treated us to a nice dessert for our special occasion. I had the sea bass with mussels and my wife had the pan-seared scallops. Both are highly recommended. And don't neglect the smoky old fashioned!

    We waited for years to try this spot. Finally got up here to try it out. The service was good, but the food was meh. The ambiance and view are 8/10. For a place named the “oyster bar” the oyster’s were 5/10. If you want really good food and an excellent view, go to Vista, it’s the whole package. We feel like the hype is all about the location and view. It was nice to try, but we probably won’t go back.

    Had not been there since the pandemic. All new staff (same chef), and it was just like it was before. Tristan our server was fantasti c. The scallops, tuna tatami, and the Canadian oysters all ranked very high. Go.

    Booked reservation here based on reviews since we were not familiar with area. The hostess was friendly and accommodating with our window seat request. Our waiter Michael was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable about the menu. From oyster to dessert the food delivered. We ordered sable fish and seared scallops and both dinners were delicious. I highly recommend and would return if ever in the area again.

    Brought daughter and another friend with us. Manager Sarah as well as our favorite waiter Michael. One fantastic pork chop, two sea bass and muscles and one scallops. All enjoyed and love. Followed by two Carmel baskets with 4 spoons. As usual just a yum filled evening.
