    Clam chowder was very good. Perch dinner was overcooked for $25.

    We were there to celebrate my son‘s 25th birthday. We’ve been there numerous times and the food is mostly good. This meal… was fantastic. Shrimp piccata - done just right. Love the presentation the temperature the flavor. The overall experience was incredible. Thank you for making it a great one! JD

    The service is inconsistent. Easily overwhelmed staff by the smallest of crowds. I ordered a bottle of sparkling water that never came. And chasing down a waiter to get another cocktail was a heavy lift. And the food read better than it tasted. The seafood tower looked great. But most of the seafood was cold and somewhat tasteless. One should be able to taste the difference between crab, shrimp and oyster. Not here. And the tune tartare is a miss. The accompanying crackers were stale. And why the tartare is served with sushi rice is head scratching, to say the least.

    Overall good experience. Drinks were fabulous (Berry cocktail is a strong recommendation for anyone who enjoys sweet bevies). Service was a bit slow but likely overwhelmed. Will return.

    Tom's Oyster Bar on Main Street in Downtown Royal Oak was wonderful. My wife and I shared our one year wedding anniversary there last night and the food was absolutely incredible. Our waitress Daniel was amazing and she did a great job. I had the Baja Fish Tacos (Atlantic Cod). It was super scrumptious. My wife had a seafood pasta and it tasted too oniony at first but the waitress had the Chefs make it again and it was absolutely perfect the second time around. A lot less garlic and onion and they got it spot on the second time around. We started off with the seafood sampler. It had a panko crab cake that was great. Dynamite shrimp that definitely brought the heat but was so good. And let me tell you about the Oyster's Rockefeller!!!!! THEE MOST AMAZING Oyster's Rockefeller I have ever had! At the end of the night the restaurant made it super special for us because I had made them aware that we were celebrating and they brought out a Roman Candle cheesecake! YUMMMMMM! Thank you Tom's Oyster Bar for a 10 out of 10 night! I give it a 5 star.

    Slowest service ever. Took 1.5 hours for half our food to come out…and it was cold. The other half only came out after we inquired about it.
