Oyster Bar

$$, Seafood, Midtown East

User Rating: **** 4.1

Fodor's Review:

Nestled deep in the belly of Grand Central Station, the Oyster Bar has been a worthy seafood destination for over nine decades. Sit at the counter and slurp an assortment of bracingly fresh oysters, or a steaming bowl of clam chowder washed down with an ice-cold brew. Or experience the forgotten pleasure of fresh, unadorned seafood such as lobster with drawn butter or matjes herring in season. Avoid anything that sounds newfangled.

Faboulous Oysters

Posted by rodaxs from Monterrey, Mexico on 2/25/07

Very good food overall. Impressive to see this restaurant so deep underground. Hosts not very friendly, some waiters a bit arrogant. Good value.

Sit at the oyster bar and stick with the Stews and the Raws

Posted by Glen from Washington, DC on 12/12/05

The stews are awesome, with the combination (scallops, shrimp, oysters, lobster) being my favorite. The raws, the atmosphere. A fun time.
