Editorial Review for Oysters – by Suzanne Koudsi
The Scene
White-tiled floors and a long wooden bar create a bistro-like feel in the front of the restaurant where customers can sidle up to the bar or sit at a table. A live jazz band plays nightly at 7pm, adding romantic ambience. The high-backed booths, yellow walls and portraits of jazz greats give the adjacent dining room a simple, modern feel.
The Food
The restaurant offers a varied oyster selection; the sampler plate includes all the different varieties. Asian-inspired dishes outshine American fare on the rest of the menu. The chef puts a creative twist on the calamari appetizer, making it kung pao-style, served in sauce, scallions and hot peppers. The ginger-marinated ahi is cooked medium-rare and so tender it almost melts. Don't miss the divine chocolate-banana souffle.

I went here with a group of co workers for a meeting and it was amazing. They completely catered to our needs. They put us in an excellent location in their garden room, so we would be able to hear each other. After dinner we went into the lounge to listen to the jazz band. We had amazing signature cocktails (bar tenders know their stuff) Over all I recommend Oysters for any occasion; date night, group of friends, business. From what I understand they do wonderful banquets in their private room. Any time is good to come here.
Pros: Everyone on the staff can assist you with anything you may need
Cons: ?
