Amazing location and tasty fresh oysters as well as other eats and drinks. Lots of outdoor seating. Order food and/or drink at the bar and they bring it to your table when ready. There is also inside dining.
Beautiful scenery, fun and cosy atmosphere. I tried my first oysters ever. The staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. All the food was fresh and delicious. Great cocktails! Good for groups.
Excellent food and drink as always. We went to enjoy the lobster and other specials from the cancelled Hibernation Fest. However the peaceful atmosphere that this place started with over the years is increasingly being thrashed by unsupervised children turning the place into an unruly playground. Any time you get up from the table you have to watch out for kids running around through the dining area. Even worse today we sat in one of the covered tables (A1) and there was a kid throwing a football repeatedly against the plastic wall behind me. Eventually a parent told him to stop. Just a few minutes later another group of young children smashed a glass bottle with a rock. We later heard an adult tell a staff member ‘there is a broken glass bottle over there.’ It was not broken, it was smashed by their kid that they were not watching. No accountability from some of the families and it makes it hard to enjoy an otherwise serene and beautiful restaurant.
As Hibernation Fest was cancelled they were cooking the lamb on an asado cross over an open fire like they did during the amazing Hibernation Fest last year. We watched as kids were kicking the wood mulch and throwing rocks and dirt into the fire as the lamb cooked. Not a parent controlling them in sight. It’s a restaurant and that was the food they were cooking to serve customers. Hopefully the management can regain control and turn it back into the serene family friendly place it was from the raucous playground the neglectful parents have let it become.
Other than the view… this place is a horror! If you like screaming kids running around your table and slow service this is the place for you. If irresponsible parents can’t control their children, management should step in and inform the parents to control them and not disturb other diners.
The oyster farm tour was an amazing experience.
We LOVE Island Creek Oysters!! They are truly the best oysters in the country. We’re picky, self-proclaimed oyster aficionados, and these never, ever disappoint. We have them shipped to our house about once a month, and we recently visited the farm in person. Fabulous! The tour was excellent and informative, and we even got to enjoy beautiful oysters right in Duxbury Bay. An incredible experience all around!
Where dreams come true
Great oysters in mostly an outdoor area. Good craft beer options. So-so mixed drinks.
Very pricey but great ambiance.
Beautiful views.

Professional, informative, fascinating, and all led by our excellent guide, Kathy. The oysters we shucked and ate on the boat were fresh and delicious, with all the mignonette you might want. Go to dinner at The Winsor House when you're done!
Great place for a pit stop on the way to or from the Cape...
What an amazing experience! Learned the process of an oyster from start to finish.
The staff was knowledgeable ,friendly and engaging!! What a great place even if you don't do the tour there was an amazing view with a great menu and bar.
Seating inside and out were both a great Vibe. Definitely do the tour though its worth it.
Over priced! Service is non existant. It's basically self serve. They add 10% to your tab. Great location but the nickel and doing is obscene. Please don't support.
This place is absolutely jam packed on a summer, Saturday evening. Wait time was like 1.5 hours. The oysters were $2.75 per, they have a good selection of other foods in case you’re not an oyster lover, as well as cocktails/full bar.
