Oyster Bar

Oyster Bar Restaurant Review:

This cozy grotto on Sunset Station’s restaurant row is a tranquil respite with fish- and shell-shaped decorations and a faux sky ceiling. Comfortable banquettes face a circular 26-seat counter where diners can watch the talented chefs prepare the appealing cuisine. Oysters and clams on the half-shell, jumbo lump crab meat cocktail, green-lipped steamed mussels and New England or Manhattan clam chowder are among starters. Crab, lobster, chicken and shrimp gumbos, etouffées and pan-roasts of shrimp, crab or lobster are winners. We also like the bouillabaisse and cioppino. Linguine and clams is tossed in your choice of white or red sauce, and the seafood jambalaya is full of lobster, shrimp, crab, andouille sausage, mussels and clams. The wine and reserve wine lists nicely complement the fare. Bananas Foster and the New York cheesecake are sweet finales.
