Haven't been here in a while. But, it's so small now and they try to smash 4 people at a tiny 2 top table! Not what you expect when you're having a $75-100 per person dinner! Nope!

Overall a great experience. Great food selection, a fair wine selection. Cocktails looked good too, but did not try any.

My family dined at Tom's this past Saturday (11/8) to celebrate our parents' 50th Anniversary.
To say we were delighted would be an ABSOLUTE understatement. Our server, Kim, was a total rock-star and made sure my parents had a lovely a memorable evening.
Food: AMAZING...from the Cold 'N' Smoked Array to the COLOSSAL Seafood Tower to the most incredible Lobster Bisque...everything was perfectly fresh and ON POINT.
Drinks: PERFECT pairings. Nicely balanced cocktails. Bubbly. A nice crisp white wine that was the exact right complement to the oysters we ordered.
Service: Again, Kim was incredible. Friendly, funny, and just ON IT.

We'll come back here again and again. Thanks, Kim, and thanks, Tom's Oyster Bar, for helping us celebrate this huge milestone for our folks.

Made reservations for 4 for 5:15 on a Saturday night, place was already packed but we were seated right away so reservation system works! Waiter explained that things might be a bit slow because of the crowd but our drinks, appetizers and main course all came out quickly and and hot. Two of us had the 4 piece perch dinner, excellent, another had the salmon and another had the fish and chips, both also excellent. Table was kind of small for 4 people but wait staff were quick to take empty plates, etc. away so it was never an issue. Atmosphere was loud but we could still have a conversation and after about 5 minutes the noise became just a background buzz. Would definitely recommend Tom's for a nice night out with friends!

Opentable Diner

Waiter was overall courteous, but other staff were very rude and discourteous. Will not go back.

For me to not had been here in years and the first time I return a bartender steals a tip from me, crazy
Don’t EVER use your card here only cash. A bartender stole a tip from me a day after I’d been there in the middle of the night

The place is small... It's like one full restaurant was split into two and it literally was, lol. The service was a little slow but the food made up for it. Side note: we waited about 25 minutes for our entrees... I've never waited that long before. Back to the food.....it was great and the waiter was accommodating. We had a party of 3. It was a birthday dinner. We arrived at a busy time on a Saturday... About 5:00pm. I ordered a California Roll. It was a good size. Normally, when I purchase it some where else, it has little crunchy pieces of deliciousness on top. The waiter informed me that theirs didn't have the crunchy deliciousness on top so he offered to put bread crumbs on top and I loved that idea. At the end of our meal, the waiter surprised us with a rainbow cheesecake to help us continue celebrating. I would definitely visit here again. What I did not get a picture of was the fry appetizer. It was amazing! It was basically French fries and pieces of fried lobster with spicy mayo and sour cream dancing across them. It was really good!

Make sure to request Kim as your server! She is the sweetest, never makes you feel rushed, and despite a busy crowd she was checking on us frequently. She is an angel!! Our food was so delicious as well as the drinks. This place has never disappointed whenever we visit. We will most definitely be back!

Alyssa is extremely rude and unprofessional. Simple questions were answered with passive aggressive remarks and service was very slow. I was sat at the bar for 5-10 minutes before being acknowledged.

Our waitress was amazing and made sure to keep our drink refills coming without being asked. She helped us choose an amazing appetizer also.

The witches brew was really good and the drink being set on fire gave the perfect Halloween vibe. The shrimp and lobster lasagna was amazing!! The cheese pull and richness of the lasagna was perfect cozy food for the Fall. The crab dip was full of lump crab and worth the money. The gnocchi pasta had very little crab for $46, so that was disappointing. Also, the reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 for the food. It would have been my favorite dish if it had more crab because the flavor of the dish was savory and delicious. The carrot cake definitely aligned with the hype!!
