The Oystermen Seafood Bar & Kitchen

Excellent oysters - fresh, different types and the leg was removed. Great staff, although everything was booked - we were given a choice to move inside (it was a bit windy cold on the outside). Very well cooked and seasoned fish. Enjoyed the 🦀 (claws are cracked before serving and inside meat from the shell is in the separate bowl). Great experience!

Brilliant! The seafood, drinks, atmosphere and service are all excellent! The Devon crab was incredible (book it as soon as you walk in!!!!) and the anchovies on toast was excellent! We also had the bloody Mary shots with side oysters - superb! Definitely coming back!

Great food but let down by poor service. Couldn’t fault the food - oysters were delicious and super fresh, highly recommend the giant prawn dish and clam risotto was cooked well plus tasty. The downside was that service staff were extremely slow, first forgetting to provide the drinks menu, then didn’t take our order for ages despite trying to flag people down. The final straw was when a waitress said she’d provide us the dessert menu but wandered off to chat so we gave up and asked for the bill. The restaurant wasn’t busy and there was plenty of staff but they preferred to wander around aimlessly chatting rather than serve customers who were clearly waiting. Won’t go back due to the service.

Absolutely loved the food here, it was really outstanding. Thoroughly enjoyed the pasta dish in particular. Service was good - friendly and lovely people, although a bit slow at times. The main thing which brings my score down is the dessert; I got the strawberry tart which sounded delicious on paper but in execution was quite lacking. The strawberries did not look fresh and the filling was extremely liquidy. I was very surprised and disappointed. I would definitely return but would skip dessert!

Good selection of seafood but I missed the octopus. They said it is seasonal what they have in the menu. Otherwise great staff friendly and kind. Prices are steep but it is the location. I did not feel particularly special about the crab or the oyster but it was good. If you buy 🦀 go for the one with big claws and eat the claws as that has the best meat. Fry’s are quite good as well. The fish seems to me average but I eat a lot of good fish.
