We stopped in on a whim before heading to Prudential Center, had the most beautiful and tasty drinks and delicious dinner, we split Salmon Sliders, Lobster tacos an order of maple buffalo wings, and the best Brussels sprouts I have ever had! The staff and service was amazing, everything had perfect timing and the atmosphere was everything we were looking for! After the show we even went back for dessert! Ordered more drinks along with their cognac bread pudding and sweet potato...read full review

Black Oyster Cocktail Company offers a mixed experience based on customer reviews. The service is inconsistent; some guests report being greeted warmly and receiving excellent service, while others describe the staff as rude and unhelpful, with long waits for acknowledgment. The music is described as SUPER loud, feeling less like a speakeasy and more like a sports bar. However, the food receives high praise. Specific meals mentioned include the Louie oysters, grilled buffalo dirty wings, cajun pasta, mussels, catfish bites, stuffed shucked oysters, calamari in Thai chili sauce, tacos, crab chargrilled oysters, fried shrimp, lamb chops, and spicy chicken sliders. The oysters are frequently highlighted as "BOMB" and "SOOOO GOOD". Drinks are noted as being on the pricier side, with one guest finding the bill ridiculous at $80 for two drinks for two people. Overall, the vibe is considered great by some, especially when quiet with a game on, making it a recommended spot for a good meal before a game.
