Great food, amazing mojitos, and awesome service! We’ve been to Green Island a handful of times and have zero complaints. The dollar oyster happy hour is something we’ve been missing in Worcester. Bradley is an awesome server, so kind and attentive. Definitely recommend!

This was my first time eating an authentic New England lobster roll and Bradley made it all happen. Bradley was making us laugh, inspiring us, and recommended the best foods I have ever tried. I don’t think I’ll go anywhere else for this type of cuisine. Bradley changed the game for us.

Had dinner there on Sunday, first time at Green Island. Oysters were super fresh, lots of varieties, had the chowder, that was great also. Cozy spot in the Woo, will be going back for sure.

I’ve been absolutely obsessed with this restaurant for months! Amazing food, great drinks, and the staff is always on point. And the oysters? Chef’s kiss. This place should be on everyone’s list!

We had a fabulous dinner here with Bradley as our server. We started with oysters on the half shell that were very fresh and full of flavor. Then tuna tartare with caviar on top~so again fresh and delicious. We had wood fired haddock, yellow fin tuna for our main courses with fresh vegetables ,rice and a potato pancake. For dessert, warm apple crumble with vanilla ice cream. Good variety of beer too. You need to try this place, and ask for Bradley!

Got a flight of oysters with tuna and chefs special included and had to do another! Great spot
We saw on the website that they had dollar oysters from 12 to 3 on Sundays so we decided to go then. This place has its own parking lot so there were no issues parking. We got there around 1 and it was pretty empty. We were at sat immediately in a nice large booth. We had our baby carrier with us and we rarely find places it fits well in and this booth had ample space so that was very nice. Our waiter was Gregori and he was great. Very attentive and knowledgeable. We started with the dollar oysters, which were only one kind of oyster. These were very good and we each had 5. I love clam chowder so we ordered a bowl. It came with croutons instead of oyster crackers and that gave it a nice crunch. The chowder itself had clams in it but tasted more like a cream of potato soup so I probably wouldn't order that again. For our main course, we ordered the fried shrimp bowl and stuffed flounder. These meals were so good! I would order them again no question. The shrimp were crispy and spicey. The flounder was so flaky and the stuffing was delicious. We also ordered a couple beers and they had a good variety. We definitely will be coming back again.

Very nice space! Attractive and clean. Stopped in for lunch. Everyone liked their meals. I had the Cajun Lobster and Shrimp and it was awesome! Chowder was really good, too. My only complaint was that most of our oysters had shell fragments. Giving five stars, anyway because our server Bradley was absolutely awesome and, overall, we had a great experience. Will definitely be going back!

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant. The oysters were incredibly fresh and full of flavor. The highlight of my visit was the outstanding service from my server, Iggy—she was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect. I truly appreciate her exceptional hospitality. I highly recommend this place!

I chose this spot for my birthday dinner and walked out disappointed. For a new oyster bar in a city that barely has any, I expected a more polished experience. The hostess didn’t acknowledge the occasion, the table felt like an afterthought, and the service was flat from the start.
I ordered oysters and told the server I wasn’t familiar with the varieties. Instead of guiding me, she brought out what looked like the smallest ones they had. They were fine — nothing special.
My main dish, the burrata salad with warm buttered lobster, was the real letdown. The lobster was the only redeeming part. The rest was a pile of completely dry arugula with the faintest drizzle of balsamic. No seasoning, no dressing, no love. It felt careless and honestly shouldn’t have left the kitchen.
We ordered a lobster mac & cheese for my toddler and it missed the mark too — oversized noodles and a broiled top layer that made the whole dish hard and rubbery.
What made the night worse was the lack of hospitality. No check-in from the server, no manager on the floor, no one making sure guests were enjoying their meal. My untouched salad didn’t spark a single question.
For anyone used to dining in Boston or Cambridge, this place won’t measure up. I wouldn’t return and can’t recommend it.

Have been here twice now since opening. The service is fantastic! The cocktails are dangerously delicious and the oysters are pretty great.
However, the main courses are.... lacking. The trio of lobster rolls from the summer certainly did not have enough meat in them (this is New England folks, they should be overflowing and not be mostly bread). The seafood casserole with cheese was more cheese than seafood - I don't think I had half of the seafood in it that was listed in the menu. The haddock was middle of the road for flavor.
I would recommend going for some oysters and drinks but going elsewhere for your main course.
Loved the food and the service. Bradley J was knowledgeable and so nice!
