Our service was horrible. It took over 45 minutes to get our dinner that consisted of two soup bowls and jambalaya. The waitress never checked on us this whole time to include never asking to refill drinks. Don’t waste your time or money on this place

I am so glad that we decided to give this place a shot. We sat at the bar and couldn’t have had a better cook/waitress Norma. Shes from El Salvador and we have been to her hometown many times. She was so friendly, funny and cooked our meal right in front of us to perfection. We had the shrimp scampi and the steamed mussels and they were so delicious and very reasonably priced.
Several of the other staff also interacted with us and it seemed like they worked really well as a team, helping each other, etc. I highly recommend grabbing a seat at the bar and watch as your meal is prepared right in front of you.

Over priced, Clam Chowder & Lobster Bisque was so thick.

I always enjoy coming here... great service, the best clam chowder in town, and a delicious Captains Platter ... try to save room for the key lime pie!!! They also have seating next to the food prepping area.. so you can watch the magic

Virginia was friendly and accommodating. Food was good and the lobster bisque was delicious.

Clearly not prepared to handle the inrush of customers following a concert. Had an 8:00 PM, reservation, arrived 10 minutes early, and could not get the hostess desk due to the huge number of walk-ins crowding the entrance. Asked the cashier how we could inform the hostess of our reservation and was told "just stand in line". 8:36 we were seated, 8:50 before we were spoken to by a server, shortly thereafter we received water. Reasonable food, expensive for the quality and service process was poor.

Our server was Vanessa. She was great! Very friendly and provided us with great service! She took our order with a smile. She checked on us twice; to see how our food was and to see if there was anything else we needed. Our Shrimp Scampi was delicious! Thank you!

The food was good. I simply had fried shrimp, hush puppies and coleslaw. I enjoy the food, but the service was excellent people. Everyone was attentive and very friendly. The shrimp was actually perfectly fried in my opinion and the crust was really nice.

The service was good. Food was excellent. We've been here before and will definitely come back again.

It was NYE so we expected to wait a little even though we had reservations. However it took 45 minutes for our drinks to come out, our pan roast didn't have much seafood, and it was incredibly hot in the restaurant. We couldn't wait to get out of there. Our waitress was nice, but she obviously was lacking help. They were not staffed appropriately for the holiday.

The quality of food is not what it used to be from years back. Dry clams. Sand. Sent it back. They replaced it with another dish, but of course charged anyway. Waitress was very gracious. A lot of noise from the kitchen staff. Not really jovial more Aggressive, complaining almost sounded like they were drunk. Unfortunately, we won't be going back to this icon of a restaurant.

The fish and chip. Very little fish. Mostly breading. The cashier thought she should sit another guest and left her cashier job. Poor Customer Service

We are Reno natives and have been enjoying oyster appetizers or dinners at the Oyster Bar since it was a stand-up bar located in the casino. Since the ownership/management change 10-15 years ago we have tried to continue to patronize this, one of our favorite “old Reno” establishments. Sadly the food quality has deteriorated over time, and this time was the most disappointing. Unfortunately we're not sure there will be a next-time.
