Block Island Oyster Bar and Grill

Return customers , never had a bad meal or experience here ,, this restaurant is the first reservation i make when planning my trip

We chose this restaurant to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and it did not disappoint! We had excellent service, and the food was nothing short of amazing. We started with the artisan bread with the citrus butter and the stuffies with a jalapeno jelly. My husband had the crispy salmon, and I chose the lazy man's lobster (YUM!!) We sat outside on a beautiful evening, and the ambience was exactly what I hoped it would be. Of course, you pay good money for good food and great service, and it was worth every penny!

Friendly welcome by hostess and great service, Wonderful food! Started with watermelon & feta salad...quahogs were the best I've ever had! Miso cod delicious...Would recommend to friends

Great staff, great location! But 4/5 food

First of all, the beautiful garden setting just sets the tone for a relaxing dinner. The generous bread basket was delicious. All of us chose the salmon with steamed vegetables. I had my salmon blackened it was absolutely delicious. Kimberly stopped by to check on us and stayed for a little conversation. She always makes sure you are very welcomed and happy. I would highly recommend coming here.

Excellent dinner with 3 others. Seafood Cioppino and Scallops were the prime courses chosen by the group. The raw oysters (from Narragansett, not the local Great Salt Pond) were very good, and moderate brine. French 75 cocktail was excellent, but the famous Blackberry Martini was lacking...tasted like straight vodka with coarsely puréed blackberries. No sweetness nor lime twang of the famous Riker concoction of years ago. Needed some tweaking. Had the martinis been like before, easily a 5 star dinner. Server Sydney was excellent!

Great cocktails, appetizers and oysters. Impressive service. Musty smell indoors. Main dishes weren't great - especially the seafood cappelini (very bland watery sauce, pasta had no flavor).

We had a good meal, our server was outstanding. All staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. It was a lovely setting, just off the main road hustle but felt miles away because it was such a calm area.

Beautiful dining room. As it was October we sat inside. During summer months we would sit outside. The gardens are beautiful. The menu tends to be a lot of fish but there are other options. Highly recommend.

We visited the Oyster Bar and Grill in the beginning of September. The atmosphere was set on a open lawn with beautiful views and free roaming chickens.
We have recently moved from Australia to America and this was by far the nicest meal we’ve had.
Our server Sydney was very welcoming and gave wonderful recommendations. We shared a bunch of different starters which we recommend as they were all mouth watering.
We had the oysters Thermidorian (10/10) which were creamy, full of flavor and the lobster on top melted on your tongue.
The lobster bisque was buttery, and the scallops with candied pancetta on top of apple was my personal favorite.
All around a must visit when coming to visit.

Excellent cuisine. Some of the best oysters block island has to offer. Overall an outstanding experience!

We have been a dozen times in the past but maybe 15 plus years ago-this experience was nothing like we remembered it to be-very sorry

The patio is stunning Service was wonderful Food was ok but seafood didn't seem fresh but we were there end of season Sauces were perfect

The outdoor setting is certainly nice and quiet. The duck was very good, although it seemed like less than half a duck.The chiapino broth was excellent, but all of the ingredients were tasteless, the scallops, the fish, the shrimp, even the last of us. Tasted like the broth was freshly made, and the ingredients were frozen. Not what you would expect from an upscale restaurant.

Dinner was with 9 people. Nice upscale place. Enchanting environment with lights and great outdoor views. We got a bunch of appetizers to share, such as the stuffed portabello, stuffed clams, bread basket, and tuna tacos, lamb lollipops. They were all great. Nice seasonings, and good for sharing. For the entré I got the strawberry salad with steak strips. The salad portion was amazing
The lettuce was tender and smothered wi
th goat cheese, strawberry, and seasoning. The steak was alright. It was a bit tough and not as well seasoned. However, everything else was absolutely incredible. The dessert was great, too. We got a variety. The key lime pie was very nice and tart. The
flourless chocolate cake was dense and rich. However, the best was the white chocolate mousse. It had a bunch of delicious layers. Nice waiters. Reasonable wait time. Would absolutely recommend for people in the Block Island Area looking for a nice dinner

Vegetarian options: There are some nice options for people looking for a vegetarian meal. Menu is mostly seafood though.

Dietary restrictions: Options for people with dietary restrictions ie. No eggs, dairy, gluten. No dairy free options for dessert.

Parking: There were 6 spots in front of the restaurant and about 20 in the back. We had 2 cars with our party and both found spots, however we may have gotten the last spots and the dinner rush had just begun.
