Hank's Oyster Bar Reviews
The Sea Bass was a total suprise. More often than not I am dissapointed when I order fish. Not the case here. The presentation was superb. The blend of flavors, textures and colors was an epicurean delight. Our waiter/bartender Damany was thoughtful, always on point without being intrusive. The whole experience was one worth repeating.
Jumbo shrimp + a great view of the town. Can’t get much better than this
We’re so glad we went!
Everyone was very friendly and the food was fresh and tasty. Bonus: no grit in the oysters! Kudos!

Hank's Oyster Bar is a popular dining spot that offers a lively rooftop atmosphere and attentive service. The restaurant is known for its fresh seafood, including crab cakes, oysters, and mussels, which are all described as fresh and tasty. Diners enjoy trying different kinds of oysters on the half shell, with many finding them very good. The fish and chips and crab cake dinner also receive positive reviews. The upstairs setup is nice, though some mention that sitting on the corners of the bar can be uncomfortable due to fans blowing on you and your food. The bathroom is very clean, and the service is prompt and friendly. The menu features a variety of seafood dishes and a fun touch with goldfish bowls at the bar instead of peanuts, which some find amusing. Guests have also enjoyed special occasions here, praising the helpful staff and the delicious seafood options like barbecue oysters, mini crabcakes, hushpuppies, and seafood-topped devilled eggs. The second floor is quiet and suitable for conversations, with some noting that additional fans on the patio would be helpful during hotter days. Overall, Hank's Oyster Bar provides a fun and enjoyable dining experience, especially appreciated for its quality seafood and friendly service.
