The hostess initially told us we would have to wait 15 minutes for a table so we went to the bar. Our table was ready before we even got our drinks.

Great Valentines Day Date Spot. Great food and service. Special cocktail for the evening a peach and berry margarita was truly wonderful. Loved the raw oysters the most of all the food we tried, and both types we tried were incredible. Will definitely be back.

Pleasant in the off-season, with decent choices beyond oysters. Its proximity to the beach probably makes it lively during the summer.

As usual, great experience at Flying Oyster. Love the ambiance & the drinks are definitely crafted. Everything is limited so attention to detail is evident. Servers are thoughtful & not annoying or dismissive. A lot of folks but still has an intimate feel, table lamps help. The food is very nice. Nice. Not exemplary but very nice. Seasonal so adds to the mouth. We always enjoy it
