Amazing staff, amazing food experience. The freshest seafood. They never disappoint. Their selection of oysters is a must try.... Their snapper tartare and mussels are two of my favorites. Their drinks are mixed to perfection. Don't skip dessert...niceselection. They do it right! Read more
One of my favorites! This place never disappoints! Always great menu and amazing service! Was here last weekend and ordered the... Chinese whole fried Snapper that our friendliest server ( Jeffrey) suggested, best choice! The cocktails here are a must! Andif there is no table, the bar is super lively and fun! Read more
Great location and awesome service. I sat inside for lunch- fresh oysters, goat cheese croquettes that I can only describe as... "sexy" and a mahi sandwich that was so good, 3 other people around me at the bar ordered it. Did I mention some incrediblydelicious (but really filling) yucca fries? If I move to Miami (and I hope to in the next year) I like this spot so much I wantto get a job here. Read more
Had a pleasant experience sitting at the bar during happy hour on a Wednesday. I was a party of 1 so the bartender did a great... job recommending smaller dishes so I could try a few different things off the menu vs. ordering 1 large entree. The oysters arefresh, and they do have some of them on the happy hour menu too- very tasty! I also tried the snapper tartare, which was prettygood for an appetizer to split with a few different folks. The sauce the snapper was in was a bit too tangy for my liking, as aparty of 1. The fried cauliflower was delicious- will look to order a fish entree on my next visit, paired with a side of thatcauliflower. Highlight of the meal, they have the ingredients to make a Vesper martini- and the bartender knew what it was!(Look it up, its very tasty!) Read more
The River Oyster bar is definitely a place to check out! Our service was nothing short of amazing & accommodating for specific... dietary needs. We absolutely loved the gazpacho soup and grilled octopus appetizers! Our entrees were amazing as well. We hadthe gnocchi & seared mahi mahi. Would definitely recommend visiting for great ambiance, food & service! The only complaint wouldbe that google maps does not have the correct location, therefore it was a bit difficult when trying to locate this restaurant. Read more
Great food and service! Our favorite dishes were the mushroom crusted grouper served with mashed potatoes. Bread basket was... great it consisted of Tex Lex corn bread and sesame white along with olive tapenade. Truffle gnocchi was good too. Serving ofpot of mussels was very generous and flavorful!

So good, you almost don't want to leave a review and just keep it to yourself! Everything, from the service, ambiance, prices,... wine list and most importantly, the food - is so damn good, you just have to visit this spot for a true seafood experience.Oysters on the half shell for happy hour - such a great deal.

I went to the new location upon an early opening when they weren't cleared for their license yet so can't comment on the alcohol... but they seemed to have a great selection. They offered us complimentary glasses of wine which I thought was wonderful andtasted quite good. I got the rosemary thyme chicken and cauliflower side and I will say the cauliflower was much more satisfyingthan the chicken. Perfectly charred and the citrus notes worked well in the cauliflower. However the menu stated the chickencame with mashed potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and a gravy which I thought sounded amazing and what led me to pick that. However,the server never said anything about the dish being completely different upon ordering it nor when I received it. I wouldn'thave cared much or thought it was a big deal, likely would've chosen something else, but the lack of transparency and notcommunicating was a bit strange. I decided to try it anyways, the yucca fries were good but I could barely eat the chicken. Itwas well seasoned but pink on the inside and couldn't stomach eating it. It didn't look like it wasn't cooked all the way- notreally sure what it was, but wholly unappetizing. My two friends ordered the grouper and raved about it, it lookedincredible! Overall, 3/5 stars. Disappointed with my food and the lack of communication about it but the overall service wasgood and a nice welcoming atmosphere. I don't know that I'll try it again but glad I got to. Read more
