Outstanding Experience at Liv's Oyster Bar! From the moment we walked into Liv's Oyster Bar, we knew we were in for something special. The service was absolutely outstanding — attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable without being overbearing. Every recommendation felt personal and spot-on. As for the food, it was nothing short of exceptional. The oysters were impeccably fresh and expertly prepared, each bite a perfect balance of flavor and texture. Every dish that followed was equally impressive, showcasing the kitchen's creativity and commitment to quality. Liv's has truly mastered the art of delivering a memorable dining experience. We left already planning our next visit. Highly recommend to anyone who appreciates top-notch seafood and impeccable service!
Incredible service. Food was spectacular. Our server Jake was very knowledgeable. Everything came in orderly fashion and was delicious.
Such great service but even more so, the chefs are incredible with their creativity and delivery of unique and delicious food. Liv's is an oasis away from home....they do so much to make dinner special every time. Thank you all.

If I could give six stars I would have! My husband the fussy eater literally ate even his asparagus! Yummy beyond expectation's. A must visit!
This was the place we chose for our first date, so every visit is like a mini anniversary. Love the food, the drinks... and of course the beautiful oysters.
This is consistently the best restaurant on the Shoreline. Great oysters and superb entrees. New menu item — Moroccan Shrimp — was fabulous. They also have an exceptional burger if you don't want seafood.
Another Fantastic experience at Liv's. Natasha our server was amazing, attentive and friendly. Our cocktails were perfectly made. The oysters were fresh and always properly shucked. Food was outstanding as always.
Livs doesn't disappoint. Food is solid, if somewhat predictable in terms of entrees. Service is friendly and attentive. Noise level is high, but adds to lively environment. And of course, the oysters are always amazing!!!
Food was beautifully presented and expertly prepared. Service was excellent. We'll be back!
My wife and I went with friends visiting from Los Angeles on Saturday evening. The food and drink were, as usual, fantastic, and our server, Alex, was outstanding. I almost always write a review of this place when we eat there and I've never had a negative thing to say about Liv's. Nice job! We'll be back.

It is always wonderful. The chefs are creative and artistic and the quality is always excellent. Jake our server we have known for years and excellent. Brian the bar manager is amazing. The managers know their customers and are so welcoming and make us feel Like family. We have been patrons of Liv's since day 1 and never disappoints. Thank you, Peter and Joan D Cahill
This is one of our "go to" places. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The food is well prepared with an inspirational dish often presented as the special of the night. Of course the oysters are always a hit!
Looking for an early bite on a Wednesday and picked this place at random, very pleased with the choice! The cod was delightful and there's a great selection of local craft brews on tap. Expensive but we got value for the money.
Kid-friendliness: Unless your kids are very well behaved the other patrons will probably tsk tsk you and give you dirty looks

Tonight I celebrated my birthday at Liv's. The food was exquisite starting with the oysters and clams and all the wonderful entrees. The service was great, attentive and friendly. Thank you for the great evening.
As always the very best ...our fav go-to restaurant. Never had such good fresh oysters anywhere. Fish dishes well cooked and presented with interesting sides - risotto particularly good served under the fish. Menu often changes with some standard expected dishes (tuna tartar/excellent burger ). This is such a happy place and no one rushes you. Quality quality quality all round and always consistent
