"This small bar in CocoWalk is more than what its name suggests. Yes, it has delicious east and west coast oysters. But it also has tequila snow cones and dishes like a snapper dog—our favorite thing on the menu—which has a pork and snapper sausage that’s thick, snappy, and topped with pickled fennel slaw. It’s somehow not too fishy and tastes like eating a fancy hotdog in the ocean. The cocktails here are generous, strong, and reasonably priced between $14 and $17. Get the mango and tequila snow cone. It’s served in a paper cone, sprinkled with tajin, and makes us feel like we just won a prize at the fair. " - Virginia Otazo

We sat at the bar and Laura was the bartender she was fabulous! Making all the drinks taking orders and running out food she was doing it all! Sad to see they closed, but hopefully there will be a new location opening! We would definitely return, the food was delish as well as the drinks. Oysters are not really my thing 😆 they are my spouses favs. Oyster were happy hour 3-6 pm and definitely worth it! $1 oysters with that said these oysters were delish and the best I've had! As you can see I finished my plate.

I went here for dinner on a Saturday and was able to be sat outside right away. I started off with the Crispy Smoked Provolone as an appetizer. For the main meal, I ordered the Fish Tacos and Espresso Martini. All items were very delicious.

We had a reservation for a Friday evening. They did not honor it and we had to wait almost a half hour for a table. Oysters were good, servers were friendly and the food was okay. The lobster bisque was very salty and didn’t have much lobster flavor. I ordered the fig ribs and was happy with them. The broccoli that was served with them wasn’t cooked enough though.

This place is completely underrated! Every time I've eaten here the food was always fantastic! Friendly staff and fast service. Anyone rating this place under 5 stars clearly has no taste for quality food. I love seafood and so far in the downtown St. Pete area this is one of my favorite places hands down! I'm actually going there tonight! The lobster is always great and so are the scallops! Prices are very reasonable. I would even pay more! Definitely try this place if you're in the area.

Our first visit to this place and it definitely won't be our last. We went on Wednesday and lucked out with $1 oyster night. Oysters were AMAZING. Some of the best I've had. The mussels were fantastic. Angie was our server and she was phenomenal! Ask for her by name! This is our new go to for date night. What a wonderful experience. Angie made it even better! Look forward to next time!

My first time at the oyster bar was great! We had the oyster Rockefeller baked to perfection, the mussels that came with such a flavorful sauce with yummy tomatoes you can eat by itself. We also had a dozen of the east coast oysters I didn’t manage to snag a picture of that because I was so hungry lol but they were so fresh! The atmosphere is great, bathroom was clean and our server Mandi was the biggest sweetheart! She was working with what looked like cast got to admire her work ethic. All in all 10/10 will definitely be back for their lunch specials and awesome service!

Fun place to go in downtown St. Pete. Oysters from the east coast are prepared in different styles. Other great items like the smoked fish spread. Mimosa and Bloody Mary brunch specials on the weekends. Friendly service and open late.

Great lively location! Busy place - our food got delayed because we think it was served to the wrong table. But we were having a fun time and we weren’t in a hurry. All the oysters we had were delicious - raw, fried & pesto. Smoked tequila cocktail was DELICIOUS!!
