Oystercatcher Restaurant & Bar

1 hour wait because of only one server. Never ate

Service: 3

My wife and I recently enjoyed a quick staycation at Wild Dunes Resort and made a reservation at the Oyster Catcher. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by James and Georgia, and they were absolutely phenomenal. Their warm welcome, upbeat energy, and amazing personalities truly set the tone for a fantastic night.

We were also fortunate to meet Christina, who I believe is the assistant manager, and she was absolutely wonderful. She checked on us several times throughout the evening and made sure everything was going smoothly. Her kindness and attention to detail really stood out and added so much to our experience.

Our server Kendall was nothing short of incredible. From start to finish, she was spot on. We had such a great conversation and learned that she works there during the summers. The Oyster Catcher is extremely lucky to have someone like her. She was sweet, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect.

A huge shout out to the chef as well. The food was amazing. We had the skirt steak, potatoes, Caesar salad, and fried oysters. Every dish was packed with flavor and beautifully prepared.

Lastly, hats off to the bartenders who made the old fashioneds spot on. Their skill and care in crafting each cocktail were the perfect finishing touch to an exceptional evening.

Thank you so much to the entire team for making our staycation so memorable. We will absolutely be coming back just for another meal at the Oyster Catcher. Five stars are not enough. Everyone we met was truly outstanding and we are so grateful for the incredible hospitality.

While the food was creatively presented and tasted great, the overall dining experience fell short. Portion sizes were surprisingly small for the price, and the service was nothing special. The interior seating was uncomfortable—especially the high chairs, which were awkward and hard to manage. The constant flow of hotel guests walking by made the atmosphere feel more like a busy lobby than a relaxing restaurant.

The food was amazing and creative! My husband and I ordered the Bao buns and the pork schnitzel and had crème brûlée for dessert. The only problem was when we ordered our second round of drinks, the waiter disappeared and it was another 20 minutes before someone else arrived to check on us. By that time it was late and we were ready to leave so we got our check and when they brought the check, they also brought out my second drink but did not charge me so that made up for it a bit.

My husband got oysters poisoning! Be careful

The food was very good, but extremely overpriced. There were only a few people in the bar, and our drink order was wrong. We will not go back.

Sat on the patio for dinner. Oysters were excellent. We shared a bunch of small plates and dessert and everything was good.

They dont have any variety of liquor, EXTREMELY overpriced for cheap alcohol

Martini came without olives. When I asked for olives, they brought some on a napkin. Not a fine dining experience for the prices they charge. Appetizers came after an hour. We were about to leave. A lot of better places to eat in town. Don't waste your money or time here.

Angelica is simply amazing! She was the bartender at the bar in the lobby of Wild Dunes Resort (Sweetwater) on May 19, 2024 and she kept the bar open a few hour late to ensure the wedding party and guests had the time of their lives. I just had dinner and drinks a few days ago and ran into Angelica again. She provides first class service with a smile and she makes everything better!

It took about 15 minutes + for the waiter to come and take our drink order and for the drinks (2 - one being for my 11 year old). We didn't get our app for 30-45 min...and in the mean time someone offered us some potato chips due to the wait. Our waiter hardly dropped by to check on us. Food arrived and was completely mediocre. We watched a couple sit down only to be ignored and give up and leave. Don't waste your time or money here. I waited tables through college and my early 20's. This place was the first time I've tipped 10%. We ate at coastal pizza the night before and service, food and $$$ was 10x better.

Very disappointed. For our party of 6, we ordered the $216 seafood tower, two “specials” of scallops, and an order of grilled oysters.

Where to begin. The seafood tower was VERY overpriced. The oysters weren’t fresh- they had a fishy taste. The crab legs had no sweetness whatsoever- it seems that the chef slathered on a huge amount of mayonnaise to hide the fact that the crab legs weren’t fresh.

The two scallop specials we ordered were $39 a piece, they were flavorful but the portions were TINY. Each plate has 3 oysters.

The grilled oysters were just ‘meh’. They weren’t as bad as the other food was outright, but they just weren’t memorable in any way. No memorable flavor to them.

The pricing on the menu was also deceptive- the menu listed the seafood tower as $108. Our server then told us that was a “typo” and it was actually $180. Which was fine with us, mistakes happen. But after ten minutes, our server came back to tell us the price was now $216. How does a menu item suddenly double in price? Our waitress told us she had been working there for over a year, and that she was also unaware of any price changes.

We ended up paying a total of $550, and we all walked away FAMISHED.

The only positive of the experience was that we had a very attentive server, Halie and her trainee.

Oysters were delicious- both raw and fried. Our server Kali was very attentive and personable. Such a nice evening

Came with my wife for dinner and we were impressed. Restaurant is tapas style so if you’re extremely hungry you may leave disappointed. We had the oyster shooters with some Canadian and Maine oysters and the Mezze platter. The food was very good. The Canadian oyster might be one of the bets we have had. The Maine oyster were a bit more on the fishy side. The Mezze came with Wagyu tartar which was incredible. Our drinks did take a while to get to us which might the only minor complaint. Overall the food was delicious.
