   Overall good experience, services was spot on and the food was excellent. Been awhile since the buffet style they used to have still a good place for brunch though!

   Amazing food and service! I can't say enough about the food. We got all seafood and everyone in our party was over-the-moon happy with their choice. We even caught the last look at a beautiful sunset. We will be back!

   Oystercatchers was a fantastic dining experience. Excellent food and service from beginning to end. The grilled shrimp and garlic sauce and the different roll oysters. They had started off the meal in wonderful. Our entrées which consisted of lobster ravioli with shrimp, and blackened grouper were prepared beautifully. Service was phenomenal as different staff all assisted in making sure our table at everything we need and they were quite attentive. The only negative is that it is extremely expensive to dine there however, so worth it as there are lots of menu choices to pick from. We highly recommend this place as it was a phenomenal dining experience.

   They tend to overcook their fish - this has been a problem in the past and it continued last night

   loved the restaurant but the menu did not note that the pasta I ordered was squid ink pasta so I was shocked when it came and could not eat it. Waiter kindly took it off my bill and I ordered something else. Overall my husband and I loved it there and would return when we were in Tampa

   Came here for dinner. Oysters were fresh, the steak tartar was awesome. The pork shank my husband ordered was outstanding. He was so happy eating them it! I had the sea bass with whipped polenta and it was amazing. The restaurant was quiet enough to enjoy a casual conversation easily and the view was as nice as always!

   Oystercatchers is beautiful with many windows with great views. The staff is very accommodating and our server was great. They had a piano player in the past but no longer. The menu is limited and expensive. Bread was great. Wine pour was small. Husband had black grouper which was served with black risotto which we did not like. Very noisy. The diners seemed on the young side there were quite a few families with children. Dress was very casual some men had baseball hats some in shorts. Would describe as a chic restaurant but not a date night place.

    We visited Oystercatchers twice previously. On those occasions, the food was better seasoned than on this visit.
