Ordered a bunch of oysters and the Tuna tartare as appetizers and experienced the worst and most unique stomach pain I had ever had. Started before my entrée came out and lasted until early morning.

Really excellent newcomer to downtown Amherst in the former Judy's space. Was here for lunch special--$20 for soup or salad, and sandwich. House salad very good, large bowl with romaine, baby arugula, tomatoes cukes olives and feta. Shrimp roll outstanding. Shrimp large, very fresh, lightly breaded and cooked perfectly. Shoreline highball (alcohol free) also truly outstanding. Contemporary decor, clean lines, spacious. Friendly and efficient staff. Draft beer and cocktail selections look very interesting. Look forward to returning!

We hosted a party of 17 for a birthday brunch at Amherst Oyster Bar. I highly recommend it! From the initial planning process with Alden through the day of last-minutes logistics with Alex (GM) and Alexa (our server), the staff was delightful and accommodating. The food was incredible. I had the crab cakes Benedict. And the bill, when it came, was a real surprise! So much less than I expected. Will definitely look forward to eating here again!

The oysters were good and fresh but the shrimp sandwich was not what I was expecting . Imagine roll with 3 breaded shrimps in it with small lettuce piece, plus fries ….just very basic , nothing special

My boyfriend and I went to the Amherst Oyster Bar for our New Year's Eve celebration. The service was amazing, Emma and Scotty were both on point with excellent service and knowledge. The Chef's Tasting Menu was absolutely delicious. Every course was beautiful, delicious and cooked to perfection. The entire meal and drinks were truly a five star experience.

Been enjoying the AOB since it opened, but tonight's New Year's Eve fixed menu reached a new level of fine dining excellence. Everything was delicious, unique, and perfectly prepared and presented. Very special and we hope they will offer a fixed fine dining menu again soon.

We had dinner at the Amherst Oyster Bar this past weekend and loved everything about it - the atmosphere, food, drinks, staff, etc., were all amazing. Both the shrimp scampi and scallops were delicious! We'll be returning soon...

I went to dinner for my birthday, and the server was so kind! I got 12 oysters, wine, and the chocolate torte. I did not feel rushed at all and the server gave me some stickers and wrote out happy birthday on a plate for me.
