The Bristol Oyster Bar offers a delightful dining experience, perfect for various occasions. The menu features fresh oysters, with the chef crafting small plates like the pork belly snack, smoked trout pate snack, crab cake, and salmon. Guests enjoy the raw bar, including the buck-a-shuck oysters and little necks, complemented by the spectacular jalapeño shallot mignonette. The restaurant also provides a flavorful gluten-free clam chowder and regularly updated local items. Attentive service and a pleasant atmosphere create an enjoyable experience, with the manager being very accommodating. While the menu focuses on tapas-style small plates, some guests thoroughly enjoyed dishes like the burrata, mushroom fricassee with green beans, and buttery Delmonico potatoes with bacon. The house rosé is a delicious and good value option. Reviewers praise the excellent service and beautiful presentation of the dishes, highlighting the flavorful tapas, including the swordfish and steak, with sauces so good they ordered bread to finish the meal. The smoked fish pâté was excellently paired with pickled veggies. While some dishes like the pork rillette were good, others stood out more. The personable chef adds to the overall charm of the restaurant.
