Very nice ambiance and vibe inside. Went during the opening hours in the evening. Ordered a couple of items off the appetizers and entrees. The items are very tasty and def worth a try. The staff were very friendly and helpful in suggesting food options. read more

This place is a hidden gem. The food is outstanding, the staff is so kind, the decor is clean and quiet. Get the crab curry and the fish dip - you won't be sorry. read more

J&C Oyster - Seafood Near Me - Hollywood, Florida

See all

We had high expectations as the reviews on Yelp were excellent. However despite this I was not prepared to have such a wonderful meal. This was a great start to the new years. We came for happy hour as I had read it was fairly pricey. We tried the oysters, cold and hot, pork belly, and lobster roll. The raw oysters were served with three sauces and delicious. The broiled oysters and pork belly were to die for. The lobster roll was my least favorite I guess because it is a lobster roll, not much variation. Or maybe the other foods were so amazing. I know as I was finishing I wanted to keep on ordering. I definitely will come back for brunch soon. Our servers Anthony and Annie were excellent!!! read more

Our first experience at J&C Oyster was great. We had our baby so we sat at the chef bar. This was fun because we were able to watch the chefs at work and they were all so friendly! Beautiful interior with a large bar in the middle of the restaurant. They have happy hour daily 5-630. We got there around 4, we ordered from the cocktail menu which is way overpriced in my personal opinion. The drinks were good but not worth 18-20$ per drink. We had the pork belly lettuce wraps, 6 oysters, and shrimp. All the food was delicious and we saw so many things being made that looked amazing! They have a good amount of food options on happy hour for half portion and half price! We will definitely go back to try more food. We will most likely skip the drinks unless it's happy hour. read more

If you are into an upscale experience in Hollywood FL on Harrison st, J & C Oyster is that experience. Nestled in the middle of the block and almost obscure, it is the hidden gem in Hollywwod. My experience here was in a word, WOW. And I owe it all to YELP. I was at my favorite cigar lounge down the street and had a hankering for seafood. J & C popped up on YELP and the rest is history. It is modern in decor and the music was upbeat and fortunately not too loud. There is a bar in the middle of the venue, an open kitchen in the back and tables surround the bar. I sat closer to the front. The service was fantastic. Our server was extra attentive and more than one other person stopped by to see how we were doing. All the food came family style for sharing. Really liked that. And the food is an Asian Fusion. Wish I could have tried everything on the menu, but alas, there is always next time. Started the night with drinks, a wine and a craft beer, I think it was Founder's All Day, descent, and a sparkling water. First course was avocado and crab salad, it was AMAZING. And was the best part of the meal, and the meal overall was quite awesome. Next up was the Oysters, I think Chef's choice. They were good and came with great accompaniments, but for the price point, just good. Next came Thai crab and a roasted cauliflower which had a spicy and blue cheese sauce. Both were really, really, really great. And I mean really. We ended with the cucumber salad which was also quite good, but of all the dishes, wasn't my favorite. They offered dessert and we declined. I guess they are known for a sweet cornbread, but by that time we were stuffed. Took some home and it was all good the next day. Next time I am in Hollywood, can't wait to return. I highly recommend a culinary experience here. It will be AMAZING. read more

Absolutely amazing! My husband chose this restaurant and at first I was a little skeptical. Normally I choose where we eat because I am picky but he chose well! Everything was amazing. The drinks, the food and especially the service. Daisy and Charlie treated us like royalty. Thank you ladies! If we are ever back in this area we will definitely come back. read more

I came to the restaurant for the first time for a Yelp, event, I was excited as I had my eye on coming to try their oysters. Must say the food was amazing. The raw and broiled oysters, the cucumber salad the fried chicken, and OMG! The roasted cauliflower for me was a hit if you can disguise the taste like that wow. these were samplers we had for the event. For dinner, we ordered the steak Tartare which has (truffle mayo, oori's milk bread, and parmesan) delicious and fresh, Pork belly which consisted of (bibb lettuce, pickles, green chili vinaigrette), and The Lobster Roll which was prepared with (aromatic butter poached, house-made chips, lime, and the fresh butter roll) amazing tasty everything was perfect. The drinks were amazing we had the Lavie on Rose (Ketel One Vodka, Sakura, Rose, and Citrus). It was Super refreshing and crisp I enjoyed the drink. Service was over the top everyone from the bartenders, and servers to the person preparing the oysters were all amazing, friendly, always engaging in conversation with the customers and with big smiles, and very energetic vibes. This is why we decided to have dinner here must say a wonderful experience. The restaurant gives that vibe of coziness, and chill elegance but not that you have to come in fancy attire. Beautifully decorated in whites and silver, gray in all very comfortable to come with a date or simply to have dinner and drinks. Parking is no problem you can park in spots available on the street or the public parking a few steps away and very well priced we were there for about 3 hours and and we only paid $3.00 you can't beat that. I will be back as their menu has quite a few interesting choices that sparked my interest. a wonderful experience. read more

Upon arriving this place was spectacular, in terms of the atmosphere and interior design was beautiful! We sat at the bar, plenty of spaces as we did arrive at 5pm. Happy hour at the bar only is Wednesday-Sundays from 5pm-7pm. They accept card only and it's an automatic 20% service charge. Worth it though because the service here is spot on. Everyone there works really hard to make your experience memorable. We started off with some HH drinks $12, I had the lemon spritz and it was refreshing and complimented well with our HH foods. We basically ordered everything off the HH menu with the exception of some veggie options. Everything we ordered on the HH menu (food wise) was under $10 with the exception of the lobster rolls which was $18.00 We had the fish dip that came with homemade chips , 3/5, the fish dip was warm and didn't really give us that WOW factor. It just tasted like watery fish dip... The shrimp cocktail was tasty and pretty jumbo. We ordered the broiled oysters $3.5 each and it was tasty. Love the flavorings with that. They also had a HH special for oysters, half a dozen is $12, these were from the west coat and it was good with the 3 sauces they gave us. The lobster roll was lacking in some areas, it wasn't as tasty as I'd hope for, it was lacking some sauce. We also ordered the fried chicken breast and it was juicy and crispy as well as complimented with this sauce they gave us. Wasn't really a fan of the pork belly but it might be more other people. The waiter was nice enough to take it off the bill which was nice of her. All in all, everything was great! 5/5: Service 4/5: Food street parking only and need to pay by app or by the machine :) read more

Delicious!! As someone who is not a big "fish" guy, J&C was absolutely amazing. We ordered everything within our party of 6 and everything was better than the next. From the clams with fries, burrata, oxtail to the fried chicken, there was nothing left. We all enjoyed and will definitely be back. Our server, Hannah, was VERY attentive and helped us navigate through the menu when we couldn't figure out what to order. Go enjoy!! read more

New hot spot in Hollywood! Upscale yet fairly priced seafood with asian influence and could not speak more highly of the service. I have come in both for happy hour with my boyfriend & Sunday brunch with a friend. Everything I have tried has been great, highlights are definitely the oysters and their fried chicken. Cucumber salad was also fresh and a must try! For the brunch, I enjoyed their french toast & the chicken salad, though does have strong taste of blue cheese. Glad to see a nice, modern spot pop up in the Hollywood area. read more

Good food, but the ambiance absolutely needs work. Upscale seafood-focused restaurant in Hollywood. Very cool sea-esque trendy decor inside. Not a ton of free parking in the area, but easy, cheap paid parking aplenty. We made a reservation for 4 for dinner in advance and last minute moved up the reservation, which was nice of them to accommodate. I temper my expectations when in the burbs but the drinks here were excellent. We had the banana rama, the yuzu margarita, and several c-side martinis. Perfectly balanced, very interesting drinks. I'm so picky about martinis and this was perfect. We ordered the cucumber salad (2/5, bland), hamachi (6/5, so flavorful), tuna confit (4/5 very good), lobster roll (5/5, so warm and perfect), and pork belly (4/5, perfectly cooked). The hamachi was truly a standout - flavorful, nuanced, just very good but I'd also keep coming back for the lobster roll. The cucumber salad was definitely a miss and I'm not clear why it was so flavorless when doused in chili oil, but it happens. Our real gripe here was the ambiance, specifically the music, which made it hard to really enjoy our meal. We came on a night there was a street concert going on outside immediately in front of the restaurant. That said, the sound inside the restaurant, with the doors closed, almost completely insulated us from that noise, which was great. However, the restaurant decided to turn its own music up so loud we couldn't even hold a conversation. I asked twice for them to turn their own music down, and they claimed they did but also claimed the street music was why it was so loud. That wasn't true, because it was clearly the song playing at their restaurant, which was clearly labeled on another bizarre ambiance choice - tv's that displayed the current music and menus. I'm not one to get bothered by noise, but it genuinely ruined the experience and I shouldn't have to talk to someone multiple times to try get it addressed. (It was also never actually addressed.) They kept blaming the festival outside, but we couldn't hear that from inside. Another party literally left the restaurant because the music inside was so loud. I wanted to enjoy my meal and chat with my friends, not be at the clurb. Disappointing but hopefully it's something they will consider fixing in time. read more

Came in for the first time with my mom for an event. The restaurant is cozy but still enough space in between tables. The food and service on the event was so great that we stayed for dinner. We started with the lobster roll which was delicious. The roll was packed with lobster and it was very flavorful. Next we tried the pork belly which was also crispy and flavorful. And lastly we had the beef tartar which took a while to make but nevertheless was still delicious. We had a great time and I would definitely be back. read more

Amateur Hour on Harrison Street... They couldn't handle a large party, and the owner started freaking out and screaming over the PA system. So, we paid up and took the whole group to Rickey's, where they appreciated our business. Good riddance J&C! read more

The FOOD....amazing. The SERVICE...amazing. The HAPPY HOUR...amazing. This is STILL hollywoods best kept secret. Not sure why this place is not consistently busy. My second time here and I'm still shook by the food. We ordered the fish dip, hamachi, oysters, broiled oyster, and steak tartare. Everything was DELICIOUS. And that steak tartare--to DIE for. MEMORABLE. The vibe is chill. Great music. A chill spot to drink and eat great food. read more

Ducked in with my pal Joe to try the food and drink, again, and to evaluate these folks for my walking food tours in the area and it was a fine time, here's why: * Love the decor. New, bright, clean, airy, modern, efficient. * Big center bar * Excellent service from River (bartender) and Daisy (server) * Excellent play list of music * Epic drinks by River! See pic! Yum... * Fresh and delicious shrimp cocktail, I love how they were served. The only thing missing was horseradish. * Interesting and tasty take on smoked fish dip. Good stuff, appropriately priced. See you there. Cabeza, OUT! read more

All of the food was delicious, but for the price, the portions are small. As a local, this place is inapt for downtown Hollywood due to the prices, but like I said, the food was great quality and the service was excellent. I suggest coming for happy hour because they have a great deal at that time; half off entrees and drinks. There is a huge bar in the center of the restaurant and tables surrounding it. read more

We stopped in for happy hour on Thursday and had a great time. The restaurant itself is beautiful and tastefully decorated. The bar is large and the bartenders were great. Service was fast and friendly. We ended up ordering two drinks - a beer and a Shirley temple. We decided on the pork belly from the happy hour menu which was small but absolutely delicious. We felt the pricing was high for happy hour in downtown Hollywood. Service charge is automatically applied and the bartender pointed it out upon presenting the check which was appreciated. We paid $26 for three items. There's street parking nearby for only about a $1.25 an hour (this was Thursday evening). read more

I came by for a Thursday night happy hour. This was my first visit so I wasn't sure what to expect. The restaurant is almost at the very end of the street. Luckily, I was able to find street parking around the corner on the street that runs along the train. You can look into the entire interior from the outside. I sat myself at the bar for HH. I knew I wanted oysters but wasn't sure what else. I started with half dozen raw and one of their baked ones. The oysters were delicious. Fresh, clean, and great HH price. It came with three different sauces. My favorite was the center one. I prefer my oysters raw but the yuzu flavoring of the baked oyster compelled me to try it. I only got one in case I didn't like it and they are a bit costier, but it was in fact spectacular. I went for the fried chicken and it was the right choice. Chicken was great and I loved the pickles. It was the perfect combo. I ended with another half dozen of raw oysters since that was my main goal. Overall service was great. The bill and payment was electronic through a tablet that the server brings over. There is automatic service charge added to all bills as clearly stated in their menu but you are prompted with the option to add more tip. There's more to try and I would love to go back. Definitely hitting up the HH to keep it affordable. read more

Fantastic!!! Downtown-neighborhood feel, good drinks and the fish dip is amazing. Best place in downtown Hollywood.

The bartender was amazing, but the main event, the chicken sando was just good, not great like the previous reviews. The drinks were amazing and worth a visit. Back to the sando perfectly cooked chicken that was over powered by the sauce ....mind you the sauce is good. But nothing about the sando me want to leave about it, it needed it needed tartness and the delicious but bland carrot pickles were awesome with he blue cheese sauce as a crudites...but it was one note. This review is for brunch, I need to go back for happy hour...to see what happens there. read more

5 stars. Would be 5 stars anywhere: NYC LA Miami SF. It's that good. On a sleepy but upcoming street in Hollywood is this understated gem. From the outside it blends with the other fare on the street that, let's be honest, are usually not too great. Not here. Step in and you're in a space with flavor vibe awesome music and an amazing bar, and the service you'd expect in a $$$$ Manhattan eatery. The avocado and crab salad is often mundane. Here it's bold, flavorful, and unforgettable. The hamachi plate is on par with some of the best hamachi preparations I've had at world-renowned omakase. The fried chicken beats Yardbird hands down in flavor. The crab curry is absolutely scrumptious and perhaps the best value on the menu. It's insane that Hollywood has a restaurant this good on this sleepy street. But it does. Run, don't walk. read more

The five of us went on this Saturday night and the atmosphere, food and service were all fabulous. We shared the Avocado Crab Salad, West Coast and Prince Edward Island Raw Oysters, Broiled Oysters and Broiled Cauliflower as appetizers. We then shared the Thai Crab Curry with Jasmine Rice, the Fried Chicken and the Pork Belly as our entrees. We followed it all with the Smores Cake covered with toasted meringue, dark chocolate and vanilla ice cream. Look at the menu for complete descriptions of the food.

Looked around for an oyster place and landed here. The restaurant is clean and bright inside, the staff is very friendly. Shout out to the bartender that made a specialty drink for my partner on the fly! We regrettably didn't catch her name, but she was delightful. The food itself was good, but with each dish there were things that could be tweaked slightly to make it amazing and 5 stars. We had tuna and oysters as an appetizer and split a lobster roll, pork belly and mussels as a meal. Honestly they should package their in house made chips with togarashi, those were the bomb. I really want to give it 5 stars, if I could give it a 4.5 I would. We might give this a go again in the future. Definitely get the gimlet but it sneaks up on you. read more

This was the second day they were open and we were anxious to try out the food which was described as seafood with an Asian fusion. It was so cold when we came in that we had to ask the waitress if she could ask the Manager to make the room more comfortable and he did. We were told by the Waitress we had to order all of our food selections all at one time so the kitchen could sort out order to serve it and it would be "family style". The oysters were fresh and served with condiments. Boiled oysters were creamy and delicious. The lump crab on noodles was not what we expected. The crab meat was fresh but not much of it in the order and was not in large lumps but broken up, too much sauce on it and it was pretty spicy, which was unexpected since it was not described as such. The boneless fried chicken was crunchy, and seasoned perfectly. We had the Sake which of as decent but on the sweet side. It's uscale &. pricey, they add the Tips to your bill. We enjoyed the food but did not think it was worth the high prices. The Manager David was accommodating and personable. We wish them luck on Harrison Street as they can use more dining establishments. read more
