Two of us went and it was just OK. Nothing special. My dish, was very salty on the soupy side. Glad I had asked them to put the rice aside as it helps neutralize the salt and spicy taste. Well, I recommend this place to see you? Maybe. Will I come back ? not anytime soon.

Had a lovely dinner here with my husband. Service was good, and the server was able to investigate any questions I had about gluten or corn ingredients. Excellent food and service. Nice atmosphere, though felt just a little dated. I like the sky lights in the area we were in. We dined early so it was before main dinner rush time and noise wasn’t out of hand. We had mixed drinks which were pretty good, oysters on the half shell that were excellent, and an entree each. He had the jambalaya which was very good and I had the chicken with mushroom risotto and carrots and an add on of crab Oscar. The mushroom risotto was excellent and the carrots were the best I have ever had as a side dish. Crab Oscar was very good. The chicken was cooked nicely but could have used a little more seasoning on the bird itself. The excellence of the accompaniments made it minimally affect my opinion of the dish overall. We greatly enjoyed our meal here and would not hesitate to come again in the future.

I always hesitate to give back ratings, but here today, during our dinner, many things went wrong.

We’ve been coming here as a family now for two years and every visit has been great. The seafood is always super fresh and more than that they are very able to modify for my gluten sensitivity. You really can’t go wrong if you visit and if you are lucky enough to have our favorite server, Joanne, then I know for sure you will have one of your best nights out! Joanne has gone above and beyond every time she has been our server. If she doesn’t know the answer on a wine selection, etc. she gets the input and provides the input for the best decision.

Cocktails and food were fantastic. Lots of food options for people with different tastes. Probably the best Manhattan I had during my stay in Cape May. Our dinner included the “Long Hots” )which is a hot pepper stuffed with sausage and served with amazing garlic bread), Grouper and the Short Rib. Portions were very large so we had no room for dessert. The only very minor turn off was how close some of the tables are to one another. When we looked to our side, there were people positioned less than two feet from each of us. Next time we dine here, I think we would just opt for bar seating if tables are positioned similarly.

Really 4.75 stars but if the option is between 4-5 stars then it’s obviously closer to the 5. Drinks were amazing, had the bramble. The food was excellent with the jambalaya being a little salty but otherwise excellent melt in your mouth scallops. The truffled beets were a great salad without overpowering truffle flavor. The bang bang shrimp was good but sometimes too much of the bang bang sauce. Has some oysters and they were so good. The kids menu fish fingers with fries had both items that were actually chef made and not some frozen after thought. Desert left much to be desired so we didn’t get any but overall amazing food. Bobby was quick and made good small talk, but didn’t either get over involved or not uninterested. Great server. Great seafood restaurant.

We had a much better experience than we did a few years ago. Bartender was on point tonight and food was delicious. Scallops were sauteed perfectly and the sauce was devine. Oyster Rockefeller were average. Too much Bernaise sauce on top. But otherwise a good experience.

Oyster Bay – WOW! This is probably my favorite restaurant I have ever dined at. I have been coming here for years and every dish is amazing, full of flavor. My favorite is the steak – I have tried them all, delicious and always cooked to perfection. The inside is very cozy, and beautifully decorated. Wine list is plentiful – always new and delicious wines on the menu. Staff is friendly and kind. Everything about this place I absolutely love. I cannot say enough great things about this place – so, so good! Absolutely love it!
