Greenwich Bay Oyster Bar

Cozy spot with great seafood dishes. Everything was super fresh and had delightful flavor combinations. The staff is super friendly. Probably worth getting a reservation as it's small and fills up quickly.

Excellent place to eat a variety of fresh local oysters. It can be very busy but we had reservations for a customer dinner. The seating area is small and busy which is part of the fun vibe. The fish dishes were excellent as were the cocktail specials. Definitely check this place out.

I was in the area for work and researched the local fare as I've been known to do. This place was very high up on the recommended list, so I gave it a go. Very cool Main Street location... lots of good energy. Very cozy atmosphere.....nicely adorned. I was greeted and sat immediately. Friendly, prompt service throughout. I had already checked the menu beforehand and had it narrowed to either the Paella or the Frutti de mare....I opted for the latter. It came out on time and was just what I was hoping for on a chilly early winter eve. Massive piles of mussels, littlenecks, shrimp, TENDER scallops, and the very best calamari I've ever had in my life. The linguini was al dente...dont think it's fresh, but there was zero wrong with anything in the dish! The tomato sauce was piping hot and seasoned perfectly... some nice onion slices and tomato chunks here and there and a perfect broth with the pasta and seafood. Amazing dish all around, 10 out of 10. Next time, Paella or a shrimp Po boy! I really wanted to try the oysters, but m'lady would be upset if I did those without her, lol. I highly suggest a visit if you're nearby! Entire experience, 9.5 out 10.

Parking: Its not the worst but dont expect to waltz right in

The food here is always absolutely perfectly cooked and delicious. Oysters on rotation fresh and quickly delivered, and can't choose which calamari is best (kidding it's the sticky calamari hands down). I've gone for years now ordering the lobster risotto, paella, shrimp scampi, fried oysters, and the swordfish -- all delicious but the lobster risotto is number one. On top of this, the owner is friendly, passionate, and the staff are great/on it. Anytime I'm in town, this is a must go.

My Dad and I had a great early birthday dinner together at Greenwich Bay 🌊 Our waitress was a lovely lady, we enjoyed the Rough Waters & West Passage Oysters 🦪 the chowder was freshly made and not too heavy. My Dad had the fish and chips, while I enjoyed the market stuffed lobster 🦞 with scollops & shrimp 🍤

Y’all, the lobster mac and cheese comes in the carcass of the lobster. Incredible. Drinks were great, and the raw bar platters give you a good appetease prior to the main course. Great little spot here.

It is not easily accessible and we went on a particularly hot day so the air conditioning was literally sweating on us but the staff was very help. Overall though if someone asked me to meet them there again I'd think twice before getting off my couch.

Wheelchair accessibility: It is absolutely Not wheelchair friendly. At least that's what I was told as I struggled up the stairs. Plus it's street parking in East Greenwich which Nobody has ever said hey let's go
do some parallel parking for fun and then find a restaurant with a hundred year old stairs to navigate and get a seat with a steady but slow drip while we eat. I mean it could be somebody's good time it just wasn't ours.

Sooooo loud! Obnoxiously so. Couldn't wait to get out of there, but service was so slow that we ended up being in the restaurant for about 45 minutes longer than necessary. Our server seemed very nervous, and was extremely slow, so they might have been new. They were nice though. Our table of 8 was mostly satisfied with the food, but no one was wowed by any of it. My Lobster Bisque, a must have for me at any Seafood restaurant, was a bit watery and the flavor was average. My Scallops dish was served with a Fregolla that was supposed to come in a crema sauce; the sauce did not resemble crema and tasted of nutmeg? It was not a pleasant flavor, whatever it was, and did not pair with the scallops at all. The scallops themselves were cooked perfectly, but they lacked seasoning. Fried oysters, Lobster Stuffed Mushrooms, Calamari, were all very good. Clams casino were okay. Filet and Gnocchi dish was very tender and flavorful. Fish and Chips were average. Paella was good, but not great. Surf and Turf was good, but again, not great. Overall a very average experience that might have been pleasant if it hadn't been so ridiculously loud!!!
