La Joie Creole Oyster Bar

Really interesting restaurant. If I could, I would give them 4.5 stars. Appetizers pretty good, $12 for 3 oysters not bad, but if they can switch to bigger oysters that would be great. Boudin Balls are the best appetizer in the menu. It’s flavorful, salt and spices balanced really well. Everyone should try it out. The main courses we had halibut and snapper. Looks nice, but halibut it’s kinda plain. My snapper itself taste great, oysters mushroom with fish it’s great match . It will be nice if green sauce will little bit thicker, asparagus kinda ruined whole dish, it was minty and weird. The best part, it’s dessert. Specially the Bananas Foster Bread Pudding, the bread pudding parts really flavorful, when the ice cream with the caramel sauce and pudding melted in your mouth, it’s amazing!

This place is amazing! It's the type of foodie restaurant that should be in a trendy house in Austin. It's in a strip center in Cedar Park, but WOW, it is so good! We started with an order of various oysters which were tasty. We ordered the shrimp and grits and the halibut and both were delicious. The bananas foster bread pudding was a perfect way to end the evening. All the food was so flavorful you could savor every bite. We ordered different drinks, but our favorites were Smoke in the Cockpit, Aphrodite and the Gruner wine. The service was great and the restaurant was nice and clean. This place gets busy, so I suggest booking a reservation. I definitely recommend this place and we'll be back.

Fabulous dinner with amazing service. Fresh Oysters from Boston, some of the best gumbo I’ve ever had and a main course of shrimp and grits. I was blown away by the sophisticated yet casual presentation and depth of flavors. Chef Nick gives joy upfront with a gentle heat at the end to remind you how good it was when you started. Fun atmosphere, knowledgeable and friendly staff. La Joie has totally nailed fine casual dining.

The beginning was looking promising, we got there at 7:40, it took about 20-25 minutes for the drinks to arrive. Its ok; “they are probably backed up.” After the drinks were served appetizers and entrees were ordered right away, we knew what we wanted. For an appetizer we got Halibut & a dozen fresh oysters for entrees we ordered Sea Bass, Shrimp & Grits with extra shrimp for an up-charge, and Arugula Salad. Halibut (fully cooked dish) came before the oysters 🤔. 2 tables that arrived after we did, was enjoying their oysters, when asked what was going on with our order- our waitress notified us that our ticket was lost 🤨. We got 2 different kinds of oysters- assuming they ran out of blue-points (cuz we ordered 1 dozen blue-points), oysters were small-not their fault. Halibut was overcooked, the vegetables were undercooked and had no seasoning. Sea Bass was good, tender and well seasoned, Shrimp & Grits was ok well seasoned a bit on the spicy side 🌶, extra shrimp was forgotten😒. Arugula salad served on a flat dish, in the middle of the plate was pesto covered by salad, mixing pesto with salad was a task. Ps our entrees were served at 9:05pm, through out the entire time our waitress came to our table 3 times total. Thats including giving us the check, chilling by the bar was more productive for her. Our food was served by hostess and 3 other people. Honestly the worst experience i have ever had. Very disappointed, with service & food, on the way home went through a drive through.

Edit: my previous review was for the restaurant that used to exist at this location. The restaurant is now a new restaurant, new concept and new owner. The dishes is perhaps one step up from heb standard sushi with the option for cocktail. The menu is limited and I did not see any option for sashimi. The walls are lined with fake flowers and grass. We stopped by on Friday for dinner and it was empty. We were shown to a table but it was not wiped down. Tempura green beans were cold and had chunks of uncooked flour. What a gem! My boyfriend and I stopped by for an early dinner that happened to coincide with happy hour! It was a pleasant surprise! Most appetizer items were on the happy hour menu and everything was delicious. I made the mistake of ordering (and eating) too much of the appetizer; honestly I’m not upset. The boudin balls were the best I’ve had, the peach jam paired with the beignets perfectly and oyster were fresh and tasted like a kiss of the ocean. The bartender and cocktail genius behind the bar came out and personally served some inventive and delicious concoctions. Unfortunately I didn’t grab his name but it was so fun to talk to him, he literally dreams up some of his cocktails. I’ll be back so I can remedy that soon enough! By the time the entrees came out we were both pretty stuffed. Our waitress Ashley was so sweet and was extremely helpful during the entire experience. We will be back!

This place is so yummy! COVID note: I would give zero stars if you are concerned about covid. The place was packed and definitely no social distance or separation from other booths and tables. For the food...it was better than I even expected. It satisfied my craving for my favorite Shrimp PoBoy in New Orleans. How was every French fry so crispy I kept wondering! The Gumbo was also tasty. I only wish they have some gumbo options without duck. It’s not a flavor I enjoy and I think a lot of people would like an option without it. The restaurant is pretty and the staff is nice. Little pricey for a lunch but it won’t disappoint. I’ll be back!

It's awesome to have a new fine dining spot that's not all the way in downtown Austin. Be warned, you'll also pay downtown prices. Everything was fresh and unique (scratch made) which is a nice change from all the chain restaurants in Cedar Park. Food and drinks were pretty good. Experience could use some improvement. We started off with an interesting take on boudin balls and an assortment of east coast oysters with delicious homemade cocktail sauce that had a punch of horseradish. I ordered the crab fettuccine for my entree. The sauce was tasty, but the noodles were not really for me. They were pretty al dente and didn't soak up the sauce very well. Not bad, but want better for the price. They had some fun cocktails with fresh ingredients mine kumquats, watermelon, and coconut. We ended with beignets; light and serviced with seasonal jam. Overall, the service was good, though I felt like the staff saw I had a baby with me and wanted to make sure I didn't linger past their two-hour time limit. We were reminded a few times of this limit and I felt like the service was a bit rushed. I'm sure this was not intentional, but it did damper the mood a bit. I intend to give it another shot because it definitely has potential for becoming a Cedar Park gem.

Lovely space. Lots of restaurant industry knowledge here. Incredible potential and putting out very nice plates 2 weeks in. Oysters were as good as any I've had in town. Desserts are close, but not quite there yet. It is nicer than you'd assume in the innocuous strip mall location in cedar park, so don't be afraid to dress up a bit and make a night of it. Fabulous cocktails, Will be back.

Finally made it for an anniversary meal. Nice dining area and vibe, a/c blows cold. Started with some delicious east coast oysters and crab fingers. Both very fresh. Then we split the chorizo mussels, also very good. Would have loved some extra bread for the broth. Lastly,,we finished with the halibut florentine. Creamy sauce, wilted spinach, and perfectly cooked halibut. There was half a scallop on top, for the price I wouldn't have minded to see 2 or 3 whole ones but it was all very delicious. We did have two servers, which was fine but a little confusing at times. One of them did offer extra bread after I asked for a spoon to clean the florentine bowl. Appreciated that. Overall it's very high quality, fresh seafood. It's not cheap, but you get what you pay for I suppose. Didn't have any alcohol, but the previous concept had good cocktails so I suspect they're solid there. I can't afford to eat here regularly, nor bring the whole family, but I'd return for a special occasion if seafood was the target cuisine.

While I am not an Oyster fan my wife enjoyed them. We went during their HH time and ordered off that menu. I had the fish and chips. Imo, the chips were better than the fish. Service was top notch - A+. I'm not sure who was waiting on us, but he was great. Place itself is cozy and tables are well spaced out. Worth a visit.

It was wonderful. Sexy place with a great happy hour ,great prices, great food. Of course the oysters were fresh and tasty! We had a few dishes and loved them all except I didn't like the Cerviche, usually my favorite dish. The service was fabulous, my water topped multiple times, which I really appreciated. My usual Kettle One was on hand for my dry martini. It was our first visit but we will definitely be back.

The BEST service we have had at a restaurant!! We will definitely be repeat customers. The drinks were delicious and made with care. Delicious oysters! Highly recommend.

I've gone here a couple times for an early lunch and it's been pretty good each time. The oysters are tasty, the oyster Mac and cheese is nice and the fish and chips are pretty good too! The presentation of the food is really nice and staff are attentive. Prices aren't bad either!

Another great meal at Sweetwater tonight, managed by Zach, our bartender/waiter! Service always great! Tonight no gulf oysters so we opted for a medley of east coast varieties... all were super good! (Sorry, forgot a pic! :-( ). The Ocean 11 martinis again a home run. Food plates included the sashimi tower, halibut florentine and grilled Greek octopus. Watch the prep! So delicious, across the board! No dessert this time. Continue to highly recommend Sweetwater Oyster Bar!

Amazing space to get my fix for an oyster craving and Sweetwater Oyster Bar didn't disappoint! We stopped by on a Monday lunch and it was very quiet and discovered they have weekday happy hour from 11-6! We put an order in for their oyster Rockefeller and calamari to start, a bit of a bummer to know they were out of the salmon when I tried to order but the winter freeze threw things off wrench from their inventory distribution. The service was top notch and everything was tasty, my kebab was good but the lobster ravioli was delicious and giant! I also did want to comment the gumbo was extremely satisfying on this cold chilly day and I can't wait to return to this quaint space for another meal soon! Perhaps a true cocktail and dessert moment in the cards :) Thank you for the lovely noms!

Drinks 10 stars. Had mojito and oyster shot. Came here after work for happy hour! We had a mixed order from the happy hour/social hour to the main menu. Dozen of oysters are delish. The sashimi tower was not what we were usually expecting from the usual sashimi cut but the combined cuts with avocado and caviar on top was surprisingly yummy! We had the crab tail which was ok. Overall, th e place was cool with a vintage touch---reminded me of a different vintage restaurant in Washington. Pleasant server. We are coming back to try the different dishes!

The lobster rolls were just what we were looking for, warm rolls, lobster meat very tasty, served with french fries and salad. Price is reasonable.

Amazing service! James the manager made sure everything was amazing and the service from the bar is out of this world! Zachary the bartender is amazing. Recommended great drinks and provided amazing service. Definitely come for happy hour 11am-6pm it is worth it.

So far this is AMAZING!!!! Delicious oysters served up very nicely!!! Looking forward to some Hong Kong Sea Bass!!!!

Went to Sweetwater Thursday June 12th for a bit of a celebration. Made a reservation thankfully, they were packed! James and Zach were amazing! Food was off the hook, service and hospitality beyond great! Ask about any off menu items too... It's a wonderful establishment and we will be back soon ! John Panetta

We walked out on Valentine's Day. This isn't the review I expected to write. We'd wanted to try this place for a while and got Valentine's reservations. We looked at the menu online and saw octopus, probably one of our favorite foods! We arrived, were sat relatively promptly for a holiday night, given a complimentary glass of champagne and the special holiday limited menu. Holiday limited menu? Not just a special menu to augment the main? Nope. Nothing on that menu jumped out at us and the things that had from their full menu weren't available. Instant disappointment. Were it not for the champagne the bad taste in our mouths might have been much worse. This turned from "we're excited to try this place" to "this place is skippable" in a single visit. I get it: holidays, extra turns, a need for simplicity. I'd have been fine with that if there were any notice at all when we made the reservations or browsed the website. Where'd we end up? Search my profile for the answer. It just wasn't Sweetwater.

I absolutely enjoyed the atmosphere, the service was wonderful, and the appetizers we had were good. The way the food was prepared is almost perfection. Everything tasted amazing except for the actual seafood. It tasted like they were old and not fresh. I wish they would use fresh seafood because the way the chef prepared the food is amazing (sauce, linguini, flavor, etc.). The service was excellent. They were professional, timely, and great at making sure we were okay. I would have tipped well anyways. However, due to us having 6 people they counted us as a "large table" and added 20% on top of the bill for gratuity. I would rather just tip the 20% myself. I do wish they can separate the ladies and men restroom. I don't like walking into a restroom and seeing a urinal and then also seeing the toilet seat being up.

My daughter and I stumbled in here one weekend afternoon after a shopping spree. We were both starving and wanted a quick bite. It happened to be happy hour, so instead of a quick bite, we tried every small plate and try some of their drinks! We were there for at least two hours. The service was amazing and the food was delicious! This may be our new favorite Cedar Park spot. I can't wait to attend their charity dinner in June! It is going to be amazing.

This is our go-to for a lot of those "special dinners" or for a quick glass of wine and a small plate. Service is wonderful! And the food is always delicious. No matter what we get.

Son and I went there to check it out. I'm not a huge seafood fan and neither is my son. It was absolutely delicious. He has the sea bass and I had the fish and chips. Truly delicious door that this is now our go-to for fish!!!! The waitstaff were so kind and sweet. The atmosphere was amazing! Great for small or large dinner! Something for everyone to love!!

Food was great. Shrimp cocktail appetizer. Shrimp scampi lunch portion. Not super flavorful but I liked it for lunch because I don't want it to be overly heavy. So it hit the spot. Pineapple cake for dessert- hadn't planned on it but chef convinced me. AMAZING. Artful in presentation but so rich and flavorful. Also: When I read reviews at restaurants- I make it a point to disregard the bad reviews (such as the bad ones on this place) that come from people who are clearly divas and have unrealistic expectations of restaurants and human beings in general.

Saturday night. party of 2. 8:30 pm reservation. But we were the only people in the restaurant, so we didn't need a resy. I'm not sure if it was a slow night due to it being a holiday weekend or if it's just not a busy location.. The service was friendly and prompt. We started with a dozen oysters. They were fresh and delicious. (flown in almost daily) I had the crab cake was good but a bit too salty for me. I like the seafood seasoning vs. salty. He had the stuffed lobster tails, and they were really good! He didn't eat the baked potato though. Overall, I'll give the location another try. Maybe during one of the fun happy hours for them oysters!

One of our favorite restaurants used to be here so I'll admit we were reluctant to try. When it first opened it looked like they had some kinks to work out based off the reviews, so we waited to come here. The first time we ate here was the end of May. Hubs and I figured we would treat ourselves after a busy holiday weekend and a pre-birthday dinner for myself. We loved the new set up when we walked in. Much more open but still had a similar vibe. The music was not too loud and everything looked clean and in proper order. Our waiter James was phenomenal. Very friendly, attentive and was great with our 18 month old. We ordered a dozen Oyster's from the East coast. I couldn't tell you which ones, that's more of hubs department when it comes to ordering, but I can tell you they were fantastic. Hubs complimented that not once did he get any shell. Perfectly shucked. Calamari, Oyster Rockefeller and the Crab Stuffed Mushrooms from the 3-6 Happy Hour. Nothing smelt or tasted fishy. We also ordered Steak Tartare, Hamachi Crudo, Lobster Mac and Cheese and Truffle Fries. The only thing I would not order again was the Truffle Fries. I personally like thin Truffle Fries. These were more like wedges and could definitely use Truffle oil. They weren't terrible, but I'm on a hunt for the best Truffle Fries and these weren't it. The Key Lime Pie wasn't too sweet or too tart. Last night was our second visit. Much busier than it was when we went last month. We ordered another dozen oysters, calamari, Steak Tartare, and Hamachi Crudo, Crab Stuffed Mushroom. Our new items consisted of the Lobster Wontons, Lobster Ravioli, Clam Chowder and Lobster Risotto. Unfortunately their Sea Bass had sold out. Definitely will make sure to order it earlier on our next visit. My father-in-law said the Lobster Wontons were probably the best he's ever had. The Lobster Ravioli tasted great, but hubs and I prefer our pasta cooked a little longer rather than al dente. I loved how much came with the Lobster Risotto. Again, I would have liked my rice cooked a little longer, but still really good. We will definitely be back soon!

This is a review I've thought about for the last 6 hours. Elbert wins. I don't know what his role is in the restaurant - which I think says a lot - but he would be one of two reasons to be back. The other is the oysters, but we have had and do have the same at another local restaurant. The bald bartender was rude, aggressive (to patrons and staff), CLEARLY did not want to be there and hated his life. His yelling at another employee and then complaining about other employees inadequacies was cringey to say the least. He Never checked in, until he yelled at other employees and went to the back for such an extended period of time (28+ minutes per When my babysitter texted me and when we scanned our card). Are you kidding me? This guys gotta go. The ravioli was chewy from being cooked to death. However, The sauce was amazing! Thanks, again. To Elbert for the rec to get bread for the sauce, but ravioli jerky is not my jam, I'm embarrassed we Paid $28 bucks for that but I had 1/2 of 1 of the 3 raviolis and my husband ate the rest. Does this review feel like a mess? Yeah, welcome to our experience tonight.....a mess. All over the place. If you're going charge downtown Austin prices in CP, feel free. But have due dining service to back it up. As people who have worked in the service industry, I'd be embarrassed if I'm mentioned or if I'm reading this review as a server/ bartender/manager. BUT I don't think this guy would care if I'm being honest. We left to go have a drink at a local hot dog place that put your staff to shame. Which is embarrassing. Get it together.

I've been looking for a good seafood restaurant in Austin and decided to try Sweetwater based on Yelp reviews. Located in a Cedar Park shopping mall, Sweetwater has a very sleek and modern decor for its dining room. The bar is arranged in an "L" with an oyster shucking station located at one end. The menu is quite varied with all sorts of seafood entrees, including oysters on the half-shell, crudos, ceviche, crab cakes, and cooked items. Everything we tried was well prepared and flavorful. Fried calamari was lightly breaded and cooked to perfection, accompanied with a spicy marinara, lemons, and sliced serrano peppers. We also enjoyed the tuna crudo, thinly sliced sushi-grade bluefin tuna with caviar, pepper slices all nestled in a bright ponzu sauce. The tuna tostada was delicious while the crab cake was tender with a nice sear on the outside. We also enjoyed the raw oysters; they took a long time to come out of the kitchen but were shucked exactly as they should be without any bits of shell and still retaining the oyster liqueur. The Kumamoto variety was a nice surprise with a bit of saltiness to play off the sweet flavor. Service was disappointing unfortunately. We arrived here a bit early in the afternoon and had to wait for someone to come up front to seat us. There were only four other diners besides our party of three at the time. The bartender was hustling, taking care of us and the diners at the bar, while several servers stood at the POS station gabbing away. I don't mind that but not when people are sitting at a table waiting for items to come out or to be cleared and one staff member is trying to take care of the entire restaurant. Management needs to pay attention and for this I'm deducting a star off of the rating. Be that as it may, the quality of the food here is worth a visit. Recommended.

We LOVE this place. The oyster selection is amazing and the rest of the menu is delicious. They do great craft cocktails as well. The service is always super fun and friendly. We keep going back.

Came here for Happy Hour on a Friday. At 4:30pm, the crowd was picking up steam. We sat near the bar so got to engage with the bartender. Waitress was very friendly. Overall, a fun ambiance. When we left we saw families arriving so it's a family-friendly place. Gulf oysters were great, as were the oyster shooters. Stuffed mushroom with crab was okay. Think we will try other dishes next time we come back. A fun local place with happy hour menu at reasonable times, too!

So glad I came here so so good. The kids love the food as much as both of us.. great staff

Wow! This place is everything you want from a restaurant in terms of good food, good drinks, and an amazing happy hour. James and the servers and bartenders are all amazing. It's just a nice place to kick back, relax, and enjoy a good meal with great surroundings. Do yourself a favor and hit their special all-night happy hours during the last Thursday of each month. You can't go wrong.

I've been a few times and the happy hour is great for oysters in cedar park. $3 an oyster for non gulf, yes please. The drinks aren't horrible but I stick to the martini as you can't go wrong. The service is where the 4 stars come from. The staff is friendly and attentive, which is always appreciated. The seafood pasta is phenomenal and I'd definitely come for that alone. My only complaint is if you have a dj, don't have the music so loud and get oyster stands. Sitting the oysters on the table takes up unnecessary room that could be used for other things.

The service was amazing. It's a small place with an open kitchen, but there is a variety of seating options. Plan on spending money though because it is fine dining in a low-key establishment. The food is amazing. Oysters were fresh and clean--no "rubbery" texture or overly "fishy" taste. My husband had the halibut florentine which he liked, but wished it came with something like a bed of rice. I had the crab stuffed lobster tails which came with a baked potato and charred cauliflower. I loved the cauliflower element--tasted fantastic. The baked potato was huge. The crab stuffing was exquisite. My one minor complaint was the lobster was a tad rubbery. Not because it was poorly/ overly cooked or tasted off--it was so cold in the restaurant it cooled quickly. The first bite tasted wonderful--nice and sweet. But as the dish cooled it became less flaky. Four stars because it was so cold I couldn't properly enjoy my meal.

The service was ok. Nice but little distant. Seemed like they didn't like talking much. Asked for recommendations and well let's just say our waiter seemed annoyed that we asked. And wasn't prepared as though no one had asked before. And then they didn't have the ingredients for the drink that i asked for initially. However, the oysters were good at $1 a piece for happy hour. And the dream orange drink was delicious. The hush puppies were good. The appetizers are small but we eat lite so it worked for us. The crab wontons were greasy, literally dripping with oil. So not great. But it was an ok adventure for that day. The ambience is quiet but they seem to get repeat business at the bar. They seemed to be very friendly with some diners that they knew. At least that's what it seemed like.

If you liked the previous restaurant at this location, La Joi, you will love Sweetwater! After hearing raving reviews from friends we planned an early HH before a Friday evening show. Arriving at 4 PM we had plenty of seating options. We chose the bar as we can watch the food Prep in their open kitchen and speak directly with their mixologist. He is not a drink slinger! The layout hasn't changed from the previous owners, although there is another set of tabletops next to the bar area. We began HH with Oyster Rockefeller and a half dozen oysters. The Oyster Rockefeller was truly a delight. Baked with shallots, bacon, and a hint of parmesan cheese made this HH App an instant hit. My oysters were also 5-star. They had two PEI oyster offerings that I quickly recognized and ordered. They were presented chilled and with plenty of accouterments if you are into masking the sweet briny taste of your oysters. A bit of lemon suffices for me. My dinner option was their Faroe Island Salmon. As expected the salmon was full of flavor. The shitake mushrooms were a great accompaniment and last but certainly, not least the sweet potato noodles were fantastic. The only thing left in my bowl was the garnish. Be sure to check out their craft cocktails. There are some really cool specialty drinks and when we were there they were mixing up some off-menu cocktails that looked utterly wonderful. I have to say my desert dry martini with a blue cheese olive rivaled my homemade ones. Last but not least there is a good-sized patio and TVs behind the bar to catch a game. This is a wonderful addition to the CP area and be prepared to wait during their busy times. They do accept reservations. Easy peasy 5-star review!

Every single aspect of this place is absolutely incredible. The employees are passionate, the music and vibe are unbelievable, the food and drinks are stellar, and everyone is having a blast. What a wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Not to mention that the jumbo shrimp and quality olives served with the phenomenal Bloody Mary's, which was the best one I've ever had, were an appetizer themselves. And the bar staff also know how to make a perfect dry and dirty vodka martini. This will be our go to place for brunch and everything else. The entire experience was incredible. And after today's brunch experience, I'm even more determined to return to try their mussels. And their level of generosity and spirit are both incomparable which undoubtedly spreads to the rest of the customers. I'm looking forward to tasting their chorizo mussels next time.

I have found a place that can beat myself in foods. I have not had better service since I have lived here. The crab cakes are out of the park and the shrimp are perfect. The owner and his staff are above and beyond. One of them got me a chair for my purse bc I had it on the floor. I literally have been topped on lobster roll and I think I died and went to heaven for the sea bass. You won't regret it.

A perfect addition to Cedar Park establishments! Chef Poc (Patricia) is so inventive & knows how to please a palate! Ambiance, food and service are wonderful and sets a high tone to date night or HH/ night out with friends. Their seafood tower is *chefs kiss! Every single dish was so scrumptious because they fly their fish in super fresh and you can taste that freshness! The staff came from high end restaurants around Austin and Steiner Ranch so they know a thing or two about giving you a wonderful experience. My husband and our buddy got their Old Fashioned drinks on and our server said they used Knob Creek bourbon. I enjoyed my Spicy Cucumber Collins and that's a must to get here! We are looking forward to coming back and taking our neighbors and friends here.

What a great date night! This is a small cozy place with such nice ambiance and amazing food. We thoroughly enjoyed it. The drinks from the bar were good too. The seabass was amazing!!! So were the oysters Rockefeller. If you're looking for a classier place in Cedar Park with amazing dishes, this is is a good one.

Quality ambiance excellent food even better service I will indulge here, business meetings, something my husband would love and kiddos.

I've been here several times now. We've tried brunch and most recently took my husband for dinner. Brunch was with friends and a lively fun atmosphere. For dinner, the food was delicious, but the dining area was so loud. We asked to move to the side of the bar after being immediately seated and that helped. The food is good, but it's also expensive. Oysters and appetizers, 2 meal and 2 drinks was about $240 after tip.. For that price, I would appreciate a better ambiance (thinking Trulucks here) and a slower paced meal. Because you dont have just one server (they all wait on you here) you are asked repeatedly if they can gt you anything which is great, but in turn makes you feel rushed. All in all, we'd return!

We had the specials and some appetizers, both were fantastic. Great mixologist for our drinks. Service was also superior. We will be back

Ambiance and service were great. The only thing with the ambiance is that for a nice place, there was a group of women that were super loud and yelling. It made it difficult to speak to each other and even sitting across from one another. The food is also very pricey for the quality. I ordered the stuffed lobster tails which were super dry and overcooked. There was also barely any crab. I think there was also supposed to be vegetables on the plate based on the menu which were not present. My husband's salmon was also dry and overcooked. His risotto seemed like it had been sitting out for a long period of time. Basically, food was not restaurant quality. Drinks were good, though. We won't be back.

Amazing atmosphere. Very clean. The staff here are super friendly, and they give great recommendation. Our waiter Jeremy was amazing if you go here ask for him. They also have a great brunch menu. The calamari was amazing. The oysters were delicious, really fresh. The oysters Mac and cheese is a must get. The fish croquettes was also really tasty. The oyster Mac was unique, but a must try. We will definitely be back.

We tried this place out for a girls night and we were pleasantly surprised. The service was friendly and fantastic but what really set this place apart from all others is the amazing food. Fresh, delicious seafood with the right touch of artistry that makes you stop long enough to take a picture before consuming every delicious morsel. My friend and I share a number of dishes and each one was delicious. Great little restaurant that's tucked into a shopping complex with some other popular restaurants but definitely makes a big statement when it comes to food and service. I highly recommend checking it out and when you do, get more than four Black Magic oysters as the only disappointment I had that night was the fact that only got four of them!

First of all the place is very loud! I could not hear the person at my table unless I leaned over and yelled. The music was cranked up very loud that everyone was yelling. James our server was very good and proactive in knowing what we needed. The food was very good. Fresh and prepared with good presentation. Did I mention that the place was loud? Can you hear me? If less people yelling it would be a great place for a nice date.

The oyster selection was really good. I LOVE good east coast oysters. Service.... Meh . Left me wanting more!!!!!. I sat at the bar maybe that's why, but the server forgot an oyster I ordered and seldom came by. The hostess came by more than he did. The vibe is close at the bar, but really only option when it's packed! I bet a table or booth would've had a little bit more room to spread out. Nothing really spectacular about it compared to salt traders in round rock.

This place is amazing. I have been there a couple times now and it is quickly becoming my go to spot. Hands down the best oysters in this part of Texas I have ever had, so fresh and delicious. The sashimi tower was my favorite thing on the menu until I had the Hong Kong Seabass. Holy Moly. That fish was so good it made my tongue slap the back of my brains out. Very glad my server Daniel recommended that dish. And speaking of service. Well lets just say it was nothing short of outstanding. I give this place a 10 out of 10 and highly suggest you stop by for the amazing happy hour. You will not be disappointed. Just a note. Make a reservation. This place fills up quick with folks who know exactly what a gem this place is. Will F.

This is my new favorite oyster spot! Cute vibes, great oysters, and great happy hour deals!

Food was great. Dressed oysters are a must. Nice ambiance. Diverse cocktail and wine selection. Caviar bump to boot. Try it out.

Loved! My girlfriend Maggie and I were craving oysters so I found this place when searching for a new yummy spot on Yelp. First we ordered two of every oyster type so we could find our favorites. Our favorites ended up being the black magic, savage blond and skinny dipper. Really good and fresh and came with all the right toppings. I also tried the oyster Mac and cheese and that was a star dish! Lastly, we had the crab stuffed mushrooms which were good too but not as good as the Mac and cheese! Lol . Our waiter Rudy was super friendly and attentive the entire time. The atmosphere was totally my jam. I will definitely be back to this spot. Oh! And the happy hour is an AMAZING deal. We got everything mentioned above ( keep in mind they have 9 different oyster types so all in we had 24 oysters plus the food plus two Tito martinis and our bill was not over $100! Awesome deal!!!

Decided to take a chance, as we were on our way to an old reliable. As I searched for seafood restaurants near me, something about this place made me do a double take. I'm all about reviews, so I went through the newest and then the lowest. I saw many 5 star reviews, but the 1 stars concerned me a little. I saw some complaints about service, which is to be expected from a new restaurant, but I usually take those with a grain of salt. We didn't go at a busy time, but even so, I think the service was exemplary. I saw some bad reviews about the food, but my only complaint is that I didn't have room to eat more. The flavors were amazing. The oysters were so fresh, and the seasoning was savory without being overwhelming. As far as ambience, it's a very nice little restaurant with plenty of seating and simple decor. I appreciate that most of their focus is on the food and not a bunch of fuss and frivolity.

Fine dining prices but far from fine dining experience. We had to seat ourselves and only 1 server was on in a pretty busy dinner service. We also noticed that the windows on the front door were very dirty. The raw oysters were good until we saw the chef prepping some and smelling them as if he was checking to see if they were off . The entrees were pretty tasty but they didn't feel like they were good value for the price. The $16 slice of cheesecake tasted store bought and my $8 cappuccino was far from a proper cappuccino. Service was good and food came out at a nice pace. Ambiance was quiet and comfortable. Overall we won't return mainly because we felt ripped off for the food and experience we received.

Really good food, highly recommend the Rockefeller oysters and the tiramisu espresso martini!
