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…

Absolutely amazing, top of the line experience, superb food, fabulous service.

We checked in at the Hyatt Newport and asked the concierge to recommend a restaurant and without hesitation he said "Oysters". So we had him make us a reservation. We showed up about 30 minutes early and thought we would have a drink at the bar. The maitre d' said he could seat us right away if we wanted, so we took him up on his offer. We started off with the Spicy Salmon Tempura Roll which was incredible. Then we had the Kung Pao Calamari. This is one of the best dishes I have ever had, the calamari was tender, sweet, spicy, fabulous!!!! The entrees were just as incredible. I had the Halibut with shrimp risotto and my wife had the white sea bass with creamy mashed potatoes abottle of Hitching Post Pinot Noir to go with it and i'm talking culinary heaven. Our server was top notch, pleasant, knowledgeable, attentive without being intrusive, a real pleasure. After the meal the comped us after dinner drinks, a Tuaca for me and an Amaretto for my wife.
- Pros: Food, Service
- Cons: None that I could find

Amazing atmoshpere, delicious food, great location
by andierenee707
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: ?
