Hot-crispy fries and chips seasoned perfectly. Chicken sando on a great focaccia was a banger. Beverage was a Fuzzy baby duck IPA. Quirky and I couldn't pass it up. Highly recommend!!!

Loved their sours idea of the Cajun spiced chips but they were so excessively spiced they were inedible (your lips and tongued burned awfully) and I love heat (I'm a fan of ghost peppers) and spice. The big sexy sandwich tasted great but left me nauseous all night long making me wonder if something in it was off. It was disappointing. On the other hand they make an excellent expresso martini. As a bar I'd recommend this place but as a restaurant I would not

Overall vibe seemed coastal and fairly casual, I didn't realize this was a primarily gin bar but that was a lovely surprise. I will say the gin fizz was lacking.

The flavors of the food may not have always been perfectly balanced but they were bold and creative and I appreciate that more than anything. Will venture out this way again

The dining room was so loud esp when the bartenders were shaking drinks as if they were starring with Tom Hanks in "cocktail" We had the pea salad which was very fibrous and chewy (a 10 second Blanche wouldn't hurt) and the burger was tasty but served with frozen French fries, and way too much of them. Considering the style of menu, frozen fries don't belong on the menu. The fish was overcooked and dry. Overall, it's an inconsistent experience. Dinner for 3 was $200 with 1 shared app, 2 burgers and the fish course plus 3 drinks.

Ambiance is nice and includes indoor seating as well as a few tables out front on state street.

I also had the fried plantains with a spicy sauce on the side and the shrimp, both of which were really tasty. I took the chicken curry to go, which was good but my least favorite of the dishes.

The spot is small and cozy with a bar and grill vibe, tucked on a quieter block of Orange Street with other eateries around. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the menu has solid comfort food and drink options. A great place to stop by for flavorful wings and a casual meal.

The view from the deck was also excellent, and the cocktails themselves were delicious. A lot of the appetizers were very good. The tuna tartare and the mussel curry were both inspired dishes; the mussels in the sauce had great flavor, though the portion sizes overall felt small. The blistered snap peas with preserved lemon were also delicious. That said, for a place with "oyster" in the name, we expected a wider or higher-quality selection, perhaps including some from Canada, rather than the fairly standard options from CT and MA. Unfortunately, the main dishes missed the mark for us and didn't offer enough food. The sea bass was overcooked. the accompanying lima beans weren't cooked all the way through, and the dish lacked depth of flavor. The shrimp main also fell short, with the shrimp having a very odd, mushy bland flavor. To finish, the pot de crème had so much cream and so little actual chocolate that there was almost no chocolate flavor. On a separate note, navigating the QR code menu was pretty obnoxious. Restaurants should really just offer traditional paper menus; people stare at screens all day and come out to engage with each other, not look at a phone again, and constantly have it on the table. While I appreciate Fair Haven Oyster's creative concepts, their tinned fish with pickled sides, and their great starters, the execution on the mains and the portion sizes left something to be desired, especially at these price points. This was probably our sixth time going to Fairhaven Oyster. We've been going over the past few years and my overall takeaway is that I will definitely return for the drinks, the great atmosphere, and some appetizers, but will not be ordering mains.

We tried 3 different wing flavors: buffalo, cajun dry rub, and garlic parm. Overall, the wings were somewhat disappointing - the meat was a bit dry (still decent for the price though). The buffalo flavor was my favorite as it helped balance out the dryness out and it had a nice kick. The garlic parm and cajun dry rub were on the saltier side but nice with the blue cheese and ranch on the side which helped to mellow these out. The star of the show was their Bar Burger - perfectly cooked, juicy and topped with BBQ sauce, grilled onions, bacon, and cheddar cheese. The portion of fries was generous too. Though they do offer a large variety of food on their menu, their burgers. in particular are delicious. Drinks were great, service was attentive and quick, and the atmosphere was laidback. Overall, a solid option for grabbing a draft or a late night bite!

The staff who answered the phone was polite and patient during peak dinner time. I decided on a gluten free potato-bacon (patate) and a clam pizza (copps island clam casino). When I went to pick it up I saw how expansive the place is inside. AC was pumping on this hot day. Bathrooms very clean. Warehouse look with booth seating. I'd like to come back to dine inside. The pizza hit the spot and the gluten free crust was pretty good. It held up the toppings well with no droop. Ingredients were tasty. I ended up ordering a salad too (stilton sub with goat cheese) and the dressing was so delicious!! The front staff were great. Ended up $94 for 2 pizzas and a salad but we ate every last crumb so totally worth it. Better with pepper flakes! I'd love to taste some of the other items: barbecue di maiale, broccoli rabe, margherita, and more! I love the combos.
