Mayes Oyster House is a lively spot that serves as a historic gem in San Francisco, delivering an enjoyable dining experience with a buzzing atmosphere. Known for its seafood and raw bar, this venue is perfect for oyster lovers and anyone seeking a great night out. The oysters are the star of the menu, fresh and flavorful, served with a variety of sauces. The rest of the menu features a good selection of seafood dishes, including crab cakes, clam chowder, and grilled fish, all well-prepared and satisfying. For those who prefer non-seafood options, burgers and salads are also available.
The bar menu is excellent, featuring creative cocktails, a solid beer selection, and a good range of wines that pair perfectly with the seafood. Happy hour specials are popular, allowing guests to enjoy quality oysters and drinks without a hefty price tag. The atmosphere is casual yet vibrant, attracting a mix of locals and visitors. The interior blends historic charm with modern touches, while the lively energy makes it ideal for groups or a fun date night. On select nights, live music or DJs contribute to the overall experience.
The staff are friendly and attentive, happy to provide recommendations, whether it’s the best oyster pairings or favorite dishes. However, some visitors have experienced charging discrepancies, leading to concerns about the billing process. It can get crowded during peak hours, so reservations are recommended, especially for larger parties. The noise level may be high for those seeking a quieter dining experience. Overall, Mayes Oyster House is a fantastic spot for fresh seafood, dancing, and a taste of San Francisco’s history. Whether someone is an oyster aficionado or just looking for a fun night out, this is a place worth visiting.
