    Food and service were outstanding. They were running a bit behind with seating even with reservations, which is understandable in my opinion given the busy holiday and the Eagles parade. They gave us complimentary champagne for the wait, which was greatly appreciated. Cocktails were amazing and delicious. Filet and lamb were excellent, cooked to perfection. The crab cocktail could’ve had a bit more meat for the price, in my opinion, but given how expensive seafood has become and how tasty it was, its understandable. Overall great place, great for Valentine’s Day, and will definitely be back one day!

    We celebrated our anniversary on Valentines Day along with a million Eagles fans in town for the victory parade. The Oyster House was a bit crowded, but very understanding about our tardiness due to street closures. Julian, our server, was polite, helpful and attentive. My wife had the crab cake and I had the cod. Both were well prepared and nicely presented. The snapper soup was quite good as well. All in all, the Oyster House was a very good experience.
