Busy at peak timesFriendly staffTasty foodSeafoodAtmosphere
Myself and a friend visited the oyster tavern on a Sunday evening on a busy weekend. We did book a table which is highly recommended. We were seated fairly quickly but the service after that was far below average. The atmosphere is alive and a good buzz. Decor is very well done also.
Their was a large mix of couple, family, friends and solo customers. Their is an outdoor area which on a sunny summer day would be lovely.
We were handed the menu after about 5mins of being seated but then I glanced a specials menu in the other room which was not advertised to us. Almost 30mins in and still our order was not taken. A couple beside us had been asked twice on their order since we arrived. The staff was pleasant when interacting but the wait we were about to leave. We put our orders in and food was delivered in a very reasonable time and the food certainly made up for the wait. Nice portion sizes. We were warned the main course would take 25mins but really after a starter the wait wasn't long. The main course dish we both ordered a Seafood symphony was piping hot and delicious. Asked if we would like dessert and asked for the menu. The server walked passed our table numerous times completely ignoring us without any menu and again after a further 10mins of waiting for a menu we asked for the bill.
Good morning,
Thank you so much Rob for taking the time to share such a detailed and honest review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the atmosphere, and most importantly, that the food made up for the delays.
We’re genuinely sorry that the service was not up to standard. I can understand how frustrating that must have been, especially when you were considering leaving.
We’ll certainly be discussing your experience with the team. We hope you’ll give us another opportunity to welcome you back.
Please feel free to reach out to me directly on 0857649117 or at [email protected]
Thank you again for visiting The Oyster Tavern.
Warm regards,
Julie McGrath
What an amazing experience! I have been on a seafood chowder hunt for the past 20 years, and this was one of the best I have ever had.
We ordered the lobster and the beef for our mains, and both were absolutely delicious. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, and they genuinely wanted to look after us. It was an incredible dining experience. The Guinness was excellent too!
Unfortunately, I did not get any photos because I was too busy enjoying the food. 😊
Highly recommended. 10 out of 10!
Thank you for the most wonderful review Marina. Really appreciate you taking the time to write a review. Delighted you enjoyed your experience with us and we hope we have the pleasure of welcoming you back to the Oyster again.
Thank you again.
Warmest Regards,
The Oyster Tavern Team.
