I thoroughly enjoy coming here after work or on the weekends. Pretty easy to get a table, but I have always made sure to make a reservation. Huge fan of their oysters, especially Oysters Rockefellers. Definitely a fan favorite all around.
August 2025
Whiskey & Oysters was exceptional. Service was attentive and in synch. We tried oysters Rockefeller and seafood chowder. Both were top shelf. Two of us had rockfish which was properly prepared - moist and flaky and not over seasoned. (We live where we get fresh rockfish from our local seafood market so lots of experience.) Based on our trip W&O is an exceptional value!

I have unlocked my newest fav restaurant. Dan was amazing! He took very good care of my friend and me and me. We both thoroughly enjoyed our food. I'm going to be back very soon
