“We were there on Sept 12th about 5pm.... the restraunt is so busy during regular dinner hours (understandable because the food is delicious) .... my advice is to try going on off hours ... because the server staff is so over-stimulated with too many customers/tables to handle during the heavily trafficked dinner rush ... however we were pleasantly surprised to discover that the kitchen does a great job of taking the time to make each dish deliciously perfect even in the face of overcrowded chaos ... thank you to the boathouse kitchen staff for making our meal perfect when the rest of the house was going crazy“

“The risotto was over flavored with Tarrogon (no warning in menu) and had large hard peppercorns in it. The Faroese island salmon had a lovely crispy skin but a lot of dark fatty and strong flesh under it. The bread is amazing, maple apple salad and the fish soup special with saffron tomato broth were excellent. The short rib and gnocchi was very good but too much food. Our waiter was exceptionally efficient.“

“Dinner at The Oystercatcher was a standout experience. Elevated coastal cuisine that honors the ingredients without overcomplicating them. The space is refined but relaxed, with a calm atmosphere and thoughtful attention to detail.

We started with PEI oysters, impeccably fresh and served on ice with elegant accompaniments. The ceviche was bright and clean, balanced perfectly between citrus and spice. A surprise favorite was the hummus, which leaned savory and earthy with warm pita and seasonal garnishes. It was a smart twist on a familiar classic.

The roasted beet salad was generous and visually striking, showcasing the kitchen’s eye for color and texture. For mains, the whole branzino was a showstopper. Crisp skin, tender flesh, and a light herbal oil that complemented without overpowering. The skirt steak was rich, deeply flavorful, and perfectly cooked, paired with a bold jus and well-roasted vegetables. The roasted chicken was a quiet triumph. Juicy, aromatic, and rustic in the best way.

Service was polished, attentive, and informed. Each course was timed well and delivered with confidence.

This isn’t just a resort restaurant. It’s a place worth seeking out whether you’re staying at Wild Dunes or just passing through. Chef Austin Blake is doing thoughtful, ingredient-driven work that stands on its own.“

“We had no reservations. Walked in, and the kitchen was only cooking orders that had already been placed. The chef/owner offered us seats at the bar and his special homemade pasta with meatballs for 2. The bartender was very attentive, funny accommodating and the food was amazing True Italian dishes. everyone we came in contact with with was friendly and accommodating“

“Wonderful food and service!“

“View of course is great! The food has always been good and the servers also! My favorite time is when the weather is suitable for rooftop dining with a moderate crowd and live music!“
