😀 We ate an early dinner there this afternoon am from the Northeast and have not had seafood that is close. However, Ottaray, set me straight. The salmon, scllops, and oyster were top notch. This place is an easy 4.7-5 or better. Food was great, rreasonably priced for the quality, very fresh, and the service with Stacy, superb!!
Great new seafood restaurant on Laurens Road. Fantastic Bouillabaisse and crab cakes. Large portions and lower price than downtown restaurants. Plus easy free parking. Highly recommend.
Went with my family for restaurant week and was thoroughly impressed.
Table apps of oysters, hush puppies, and fried green tomatoes were all great; highly recommend
First course: tuna “leche de Tigre”; light and flavorful
Second course: grilled octopus; filling and delicious with a nice kick of heat
Third course: flourless chocolate cake; rich and absolutely delicious

The Ottaray Raw Bar & Taphouse is a restaurant with great potential. The food can be hit and miss, but some dishes are amazing, such as the she-crab soup. The fish and chips can be undercooked, but with proper cooking, it would be great. The staff is great, but sometimes understaffed, which can lead to slow service. However, when the staff has the right support, they provide excellent service, making customers feel well taken care of. The restaurant itself is gorgeous, and the atmosphere is perfect for special occasions, such as anniversaries. Some customers have enjoyed great meals, including the hushpuppies, cocktails, and crab cakes, which are made to perfection. The collard greens and pimento cheese grits are also a highlight. Overall, The Ottaray Raw Bar & Taphouse has the capability to be amazing, and with a little improvement, it can provide a fantastic dining experience.
