Reviews For Oyster Bay Restaurant & Bar

We came to Oyster Bay for the "reception" for our beach wedding that we planned ourselves. We had a large group of approximately 60 people. The night could not have gone any better. The food was absolutely amazing. Our guests could not stop talking about it. The staff was exceptional. They did an amazing job and everything went super smooth. It wasn't until after the event that I learned they don't typically do groups of this size. I would not have been able to tell. Part of my profession is planning events all through out the year and these guys are by far the best crew I've worked with. Please go here when you come to Cape May. You won't regret it.

We decided to have my mom's birthday dinner here. The food was impeccable! We had the New England clambake, salmon over pilaf rice, seafood cioppino, and the surf and turf. The seafood was fresh and flavorful. The steak was cooked perfectly. The chocolate cake with cream was rich and sweet. We fully enjoyed our dining experience. The service was great and the outdoor seating was beautiful with lights strung up in the trees. We're definitely going to dine here again.

I'm deaf. The staff were very helpful in taking my orders. I ordered their crab soup and shrimp jambalaya. The portions are satisfying I ordered Spritzers ... I liked it a lot that I had 3 glasses plus hot tea. They open at 4pm at their bar side. The food and drinks were served quickly. Staff were helpful and friendly. I was full and thankful. I'll go back again.

Had a lovely dinner here with my husband. Service was good, and the server was able to investigate any questions I had about gluten or corn ingredients. Excellent food and service. Nice atmosphere, though felt just a little dated. I like the sky lights in the area we were in. We dined early so it was before main dinner rush time and noise wasn't out of hand. We had mixed drinks which were pretty good, oysters on the half shell that were excellent, and an entree each. He had the jambalaya which was very good and I had the chicken with mushroom risotto and carrots and an add on of crab Oscar. The mushroom risotto was excellent and the carrots were the best I have ever had as a side dish. Crab Oscar was very good. The chicken was cooked nicely but could have used a little more seasoning on the bird itself. The excellence of the accompaniments made it minimally affect my opinion of the dish overall. We greatly enjoyed our meal here and would not hesitate to come again in the future.

Great service and beyond great food. Must get the charbroiled local oysters. They were the star of the meal! Reservations are recommended . Free parking in back but very limited and fills up quick

Me and my finance went to Cape May our favorite city on March 29 and we decided to go get something to eat so we happened to stop by here to see how the food is. We were greeted by such friendly staff and the waitress we had was so sweet. I decided to order the McBay burger with homemade chips and I have had many burgers and went to many restaurants, diners, and bars and the burger I had was one of the best burgers I have ever had. It was so juicy, favorable, and delicious. The homemade chips that came with the burger was the best chips I have ever had you can definitely tell it was homemade. I would highly recommend this place and try the McBay burger we will definitely be back. I'm from Burlington county and my finance is from Camden county and I would drive back there just to come to this place and eat there. The staff here and the atmosphere was great thank you for the warm hospitality

Charming atmosphere with great food! Every dishes prepared well and taste amazing. Not a big fan of the hostess since she was little intimidating and not friendly at all. I still offer 5 stars because I had a great time there with my family and again, “great food”!
