Found Oyster offers authentic New England-style seafood with fresh, flavorful dishes. The menu features shareable small plates, including the popular Baywatch Platter and smoked trout dip. The knowledgeable and friendly staff provide exceptional service. The restaurant boasts a great atmosphere, delightful interior design, and an impressive wine list with unique varietals.
The seafood is consistently fresh, with the oysters being a standout, although some may find them on the briny side. The Scallop Tostada is a refreshing and well-balanced dish, and the Lobster Roll is served in a warm, toasted potato bun with tender, flavorful lobster. The Fried Cod Fish Sandwich remains a lunchtime favorite, with a crunchy yet light fish, soft potato bun, and tangy coleslaw-style sauce. The restaurant also offers peel and eat prawns, which are enjoyed dipped in the buttery sauce from the prawn special.
The atmosphere is described as chill, cool, and effortlessly inviting, with a warm interior design that creates a homey and intimate setting. The staff, including attentive servers and a welcoming host, work hard to make each visit pleasant. They are conscious of allergies and strive to accommodate all guests, ensuring a positive experience.
While most dishes are excellent, some minor issues have been noted, such as a crudo dish where the fish was not fresh. The management is encouraged to ensure the freshness of all seafood served. The key lime pie is a great dessert option, and the vermouth over ice adds a nice touch.
Overall, Found Oyster delivers an unpretentious yet elevated seafood experience that is perfect for a casual lunch or a special night out. The combination of exceptional food, warm service, and a welcoming atmosphere makes it a must-visit destination.
