    The Sable Fish is our favorite! The servers are such professionals. The chef's presentations are super! This is our first choice of restaurant in the area! Can't beat the ocean view.

    I ordered Pasta Linguine, but received Pasta Fettuccine. I found it interesting that the menu says absolutely no changes, yet they changed my pasta without saying anything about it.

    Food and service were great; however, had a problem scanning the bill. Please come up with another way to pay.

    The taste of the food was delicious but the value for the scallops was poor. Only THREE tiny ( quarter size) scallops for a $42 plate! I wouldn't order it again even though it was delicious. If you're craving scallops, go to Pono where at least they are a LOT bigger. The octopus starter was delicious and of appropriate size for prize. And the drink special ( cucumber gimlet) was really good but pricey for this areas ($17). Overall, it was a delicious meal, but over priced for portion size.

    Everything about our experience at Oyster Loft was exceptional. Michael helped us, keeping the experience light and very knowledgeable. The cocktails were strong and well-made. The oysters were tiny, briny shots of bliss. We had the duck and salmon, both cooked as though the chef had inspected them. Minor mishap because my date was nervous and ordered my cocktail wrong, Michael breezed right past the mistake and made it right on the bill.
