Park Avenue Oyster Bar & Grill

We are frequent patrons of lunch, happy hour and dinner at Park Ave Oysters but today we stumbled upon their new weekend brunch menu! Um WOW 11-3 Saturday & Sunday, YUM! We will be back for this! As always Phillip and his team do amazing work. The chef always accommodates my wife severe gluten sensitivity and Mia saw to it I ate like a king! Go check Brunch out and visit them anytime and often. An Aiken treasure!

We came for a State Tennis Championship with USTA South Carolina. We enjoyed the food & service so much we ate at Park Ave Oyster Bar 2 nights in a row. Thanks for the memories. Aiken location.

My hubby and I decided to have dinner here for my birthday, and it was a great experience. We were greeted promptly at the door by the host, and seated right away. Our server was friendly and efficient without hovering over us. The food was amazing! We both had Berry Salads to start...mixed greens loaded with strawberries, blackberries, blueberries and cranberries, candied pecans and a nice vinaigrette. Then, for an appetizer, we tried the Shrimp Corn Dogs. Perfectly cooked shrimp wrapped in corndog batter and fried to pefection. Served with a Thai slaw and a smear of a nice, slightly spicy sauce. For dinner, my hubby chose the Combination Seafood platter....Fried flounder, shrimp and oysters with handcut fries, blue cheese cole slaw and seafood sauces. I had the Grilled Mahi with maple-bourbon glaze, pork belly, mashed sweet potatoes and wilted spinach. Everything was exceptional, and the prices were very reasonable for this area. When my hubby mentioned to the server that it was my birthday, she surprised me with a yummy Key Lime pie dessert on the house. The atmosphere was pleasant, quiet music in the background, in a well-decorated main room. They also have an upstairs area with live music on weekends, and space for events and larger groups. Overall, one of our best meal experiences in Aiken. We will definitely be back.

My husband and I enjoyed lunch here recently. I had excellent fried shrimp and the best hand cut fries. Food was fresh and not greasy. Service was very attentive. This may become our go to spot for lunch.

Food was very good, service was excellent. Dininng areas and restrooms were clean and well supplied.

Parking: This is downtown Aiken. There is a lot of parking spots available on streets. That said, there are many restaurants that share the parking and may be harder to find close spaces at times and when big events are in the ally there.

Kid-friendliness: This is an upscale environment and we had our grand children with us and did not encounter any issues. They had several kids dishes like fried shrimp, burgers, chicken tenders and fries.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level maybe one step to get in.

I went here with a small group of friends. It was a pleasant evening. We were told we would be seated upstairs, which was a bit disconcerting because one of our group has obvious mobility issues. But the elevator saved the evening. We had reservations, and so should you.

The atmosphere was great. They had a saxophonist playing, but he played softly enough to not be an annoying distraction. The food was really good. All the dishes came out together and were at the perfect eating temperature. The staff were helpful, friendly, and available without being in the way.
It's a bit pricey, but not prohibitively so. And besides, we all deserve it now and then.

All in all, it is a very nice place. I'll be going back and highly recommend you give it a try.

The food was delicious! It's an upscale place, so you spend a little more, but it was worth it! I had the maple bourbon grilled Mahi, and a friend had the street corn okra. I was with a group of friends, and everyone enjoyed the food and atmosphere.
