I have to say the service was terrible , the servers looked like they did not want to be there , bad management and the food was very boringgggg. Nothing special !! This place is a tourist trap !!!

Service, very good. Ambiance, nice. Food Menu, eclectic and lofty description that will disappoint upon delivery. The Crab salad Avocado Toast= 2 pcs of 1"thick bread, could not see Avocado and was not worth the price. The heirloom tomato and feta salad was nothing but 4 small tomatoes cut into 4's, no feta but sprinkle of mozzarella. Waiter commented it was not feta but did nothing to correct what we ordered. (Being Greek, we know feta/tomato salad) We both ordered same yellow tail fish. It obviously sat for a while before sent to us. It was tough. Table next to us ordered their purported Fishermans stew. He complained and wait staff did nothing. They were from Chicago and exclaimed disappointment w/o care. We use to enjoy this restaurant when it was next door to Tobacco Road. Sad to say the rent causes high prices and they cannot command high price w/value and seafood. We're not going back. Hate to report this but it was not busy, over priced and disappointing.

The foods are amazing! The restaurant looks quite high end but it’s a pity the service for my table was really bad. The guy speak super loud and impolite, like go thru SOP and wants you to order and finish ASAP. He even ordered wrong food for us but said it’s our fault, the worst experience in this city regarding service. I watched other waiters are quite good, so maybe the manager needs to deal with this specific employee to avoid it’s happening everyday.

The oysters were phenomenal and the scallops were amazing! This is a gem in the heart of Miami. I love the ambiance at night, romantic, and cozy. A definitely must do if you visit where we live. :)

As someone who loves a good food happy hour menu .... This place is LEGIT, but arrive before 5:30 so you can get a mix of the happy hour and regular dinner menus. Order all the happy hour tapas your heart desires. The clams casino were so good I ended up ordering 3 dishes of them for the table. We also had duck tacos, fried calamari, a dozen chef selected oysters and lamb meatballs. Everything was fiiire as someone who doesn't normally eat oysters the Kusshi oysters were flavorful. For dinner we ordered mushroom grouper (highly recommend bc it's not something you see everywhere) and the Thai snapper entree which is ALSO highly recommended. From the regular happy hour menu the baked oysters with chorizo were bangin. Things to stay away from are the happy hour cosmo drink and conch chowder (tasted diet to me but my wife loved it). I recommend parking at the public parking garage attached. There's a $10 flat rate parking fee which is good for Brickell and convenient. Enjoy!! 9.8 out of 10

Tremendous experience! From the fresh oysters, wonderful cocktails, delectable food and courteous wait staff, this restaurant is top tier!! The Sea Scallops a La Plancha dish was amazing! Must dine there again!
The food is pretty consistent and depending on the server it can be good service, but definitely hit or miss

My husband and I go to the River oyster bar regularly and order crab poke bowl which we found delicious, nutritious and satisfying. Saturday we had visitors and wanted to take them to a good fish restaurant in Miami . Unfortunately we did not have a good experience. Perhaps on Saturdays the chef is off. Instead of having my usual crab Poke bowl, I ordered the red snapper filet. My snapper was overcooked, dry and almost burnt. I complained to the waiter who said he was going to let the kitchen know. No one apologized or offered to replace it. I was very disappointed. If the restaurant offers snapper filet for $38 it should find the way to prepare it properly and not to ruin it by overcooking it.

One of the best dining experiences in Brickell and even better than I remember. I last dined in at their previous location down 8th and Miami Ave. Regardless, their new location is even more luxurious, inviting, and has a nice open feel to it with two sections north side and south side that give you privacy from the bar atmosphere. The gnocchi with crab is probably a fan favorite as our table ordered 3! The oyster ceviche with the lime and jalapeño zest from the traditional Tigre leche was a good starting appetizer, especially if you want to sample some osteria caviar. The brussel sprouts were a great side dish as it was more on the salad side and not roasted or charred or overly seasoned; so a fresh take, if you will. Hoping to go back again soon.By the way don’t forget to ask for the house cornbread to keep you occupied between the appetizers and main entree, because it was better than other notoriously famous for cornbread spots.Parking: Parking at Brickell City Center garage is available. If not, street parking so you can show off your parallel parking skills. Of course Uber or Lyft; but even better is the metro mover, which happens to be free.
