    Cheers from the bar at Naked Oyster!
    Janice Marie M.

    Amazing night tonight at Naked Oyster. We ordered excellent oysters with caviar and plain plus a colossal shrimp cocktail, the house salad, followed by sea bass special and salmon with a Tzatziki sauce and cooked perfectly. We decided to order the top three desserts- crème brulée, chocolate mousse and the cheesecake dessert were amazing! 10 out of 10 rating!!! Colleen was an incredible bartender-waitress for us at the bar!! Amazing service and food!

    Yummy drinks

    This place was fantastic! We had great service and excellent food! I'm not usually one to eat until I'm full, but this food warranted it! [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have cool art on the walls (and the ceiling),[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] the seafood was all very fresh and delicious, and the homemade cheesecake...SO good!!

    We had heard some very solid reviews about one of the places with oyster in the name in Hyannis and I'm somewhat confident that it was this place. We decided to drop in recently and fortunately, were seated immediately without a reservation. It was a week night just before Labor Day if memory serves. They have the obligatory man-shucking-oysters by the entrance. We were escorted to our table in the back room. The very first thing I noticed was a brick wall in the form of a smell of baby and not good baby. Like diapers or doody. The source was immediately clear as there was a long table of at least half children and some adults. Legit like a kid's bday party but in an oyster restaurant. This shit was like full on kids crying, being loud, coughing everywhere, literally dangling out of and off the chairs. There were strollers. It was a nightmare. It's definitely not Naked Oyster's fault but I wondered where I was for a moment. I guess baby sitters are expensive in Hyannis. The second thing I noticed were the gigantic arm chairs flanking our table. Not only were they very comfortable but also aesthetically pleasing and a nice touch. The menu has some really hot ticket items which makes it impossible to choose. I was debating between the cheese plate and another appetizer but ultimately felt compelled to order the smoke show burrata which is a really unique dish. It is served under a glass barrier filled with smoke which is then gently lifted to reveal the burrata glob which, SHOCKER, has a nice, smoky flavor. The glob is accompanied by arugula, roasted cherry tomatoes, and slices of crispy bread. So good. GF ordered some fresh oysters which she liked and thankfully didn't give her Vibrio. I thought I was clever as shit ordering their vegetarian Thai bowl with rice noodles, book chow, peanut lime sauce, haricot vert, carrots, squash, cashews. I also was impressed by their numerous vegetarian options. Unfortunately, this was a HUGE miss for me. The sauce was literally so sweet it did not suffice as a dinner entree. It's almost like someone tripped carrying sugar which subsequently over poured into the sauce. It was so unpleasant I couldn't even finish it. Very disappointing. GF ordered their summer risotto with corn, arugula, carrots, cherry tomatoes, Parmesan Reggiano which, in very stark contrast to my main, was absolutely incredible. I snuck as many forkfuls as I could when she wasn't looking. This is definitely some of the best risotto I have had in recent memory and it was absolutely divine. Other than the fact that I overheard from another table that our server is literally in college and therefore making me feel elderly AF, the service was pretty good. She was nice and took good care of us until we wanted the bill and then she was MIA. I got so tired of waiting I literally just stood up next to the table because it was ridiculous. We finally got someone's attention and she brought over the check. A lot of highs and lows with this meal.

    By far and away our best dinner on the cape. Wonderful atmosphere, friendly service and really good food. The risotto was simply amazing. Perfectly cooked and delectable. The scallops were perfectly cooked.the risotto amazing. On the level of what I had at the London in NYC. Great place for great meal.

    If you're a foodie this is the spot for you. They get very busy but totally worth the wait. We had oysters and caviar and the mushroom truffle pate appetizers. Both were very good. For mains we had the scallops and the duck confit they were both delicious. Personally I thought the duck confit was absolutely flawless I wish I could go back in time and eat it again. We'll be back the next time we come to the Cape.

    Great oysters

    Stopped in for some oysters and they did not disappoint. The server told us that they have their own oyster farm. If you like meaty delicious oysters, this place is for you. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service and ambiance were great, too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Wonderful location right on Main Street and they were pup-friendly. I had the raw bar platter, the lobster and the scallops and you can't go wrong with any of those. Wonderful staff who were so kind and accommodating. They even brought out water for my pups.

    I had a wonderful dinner here last Friday! I was looking for a good restaurant that was open until at least 9/10 pm and semi on the way between Falmouth and Wellfleet. After doing some research, The Naked Oyster fit the bill! I arrived at around 8 PM and sat at the bar. There were 3 different ladies working behind the bar and they were all friendly and attentive. I started with an espresso martini and it was made beautifully. I then decided to get 2 raw oysters and 2 shrimp from the raw bar menu. The oysters were shucked and everything was plated right in front of me. The oysters were briny and delicious and the shrimp were large and fresh. I wanted to get more, but had already ordered the duo of ahi tuna as my entree and wanted to have room for that. The ahi tuna duo came as 1/2 seared tuna and half spicy tuna tartare. The seared tuna was to die for! So fresh and obviously of good sushi quality. I was less impressed by the spicy tartare and felt that it lacked a bit of the spicy punch I was expecting. It wasn't enough of a complaint to downgrade the restaurant to a 4, though. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal! Lastly, some folks nearby were having an oyster shooter, so I decided to try one for myself. I had never had one before and and I was feeling very "treat yo'self"! It was only like $5.50 or something and contained about 2 shots worth of vodka AND an oyster. Whoo-boy! No complaints from me! I'd totally get that again. All in all - this was a wonderful restaurant experience. I go to the Cape several times a year and will make it a point to come back to The Naked Oyster!

    We dropped by the naked oyster for some oysters before dinner and it was definitely a great choice. The oysters are shucked right at the bar. Although it did take a little longer for the oysters to arrive it was definitely worth the wait and our waiter kept us informed and apologized for the wait very nicely. The oysters were very fresh and the cocktail sauce was really nice. We got a dozen and they were about $2.66 each which is on the pricier side but it they were very high quality. We didn't get to try their other items but if you're looking for delicious oysters, this is definitely the place to go!

    Another wonderful experience for high end dining in the heart of Hyannis, Cape Cod. Naked Oyster, oh how I love you. The restaurant is located on Main Street with some outside dining available. The food is prepared perfectly with attention to detail and servers who are cognizant of the diners anticipated needs with out being overly intrusive. It's an intimate spot with the perfect ambiance and lighting. They had the freshest oysters the nicest selection of fine wines. It is really nice in here. They source all their foods from local farmers and fishermen. You can tell. Fresh, tasty and beautifully presented. It's great to know that you are supporting local and having a really good time to boot.

    Swordfish Chop
    Wm W.

    I wanted to love this place BUT- the hostess was indifferent, the server was stuck up, and the lighting hitting me in the face made me feel I was dining on a landing strip. The cheap plexiglass partitions between the booths was as tacky as the odd wall of plywood, and no music, in a room that was beautifully done otherwise. The mushroom risotto was over done, the swordfish chop was fantastic. The menu said "oyster shooters" $4 ea, $2.50 to add vodka. I asked for two oyster shooters and was brought two with vodka. Lucky I asked if these had alcohol in these (20 years sober), and she said "yes you asked for oyster shooters...THESE are oyster shooters and they come with vodka"! It was like, She enjoyed being condescending! I responded with "the menu says, "oyster shooters" $4 ea, $2.50 to add vodka. "Oh"... Then I asked for dinner rolls and they were brought. (Amazing by the way) then she took away the basket without asking if we might want more. Over all a stuck up vibe, for a place that has the potential of welcoming patrons to try and return for a wonderful culinary experience.

Let me start by saying that they make some of the BEST fried calamari I have had (and I have eaten my weight and hubbys weight in fried calamari in a lifetime!). Their wine list is impressive as are their poisons on the wall of thirst. Service is LOVELY, absolutely LOVELY. And then comes dinner. Old school italo-american, classic mom and pop food. Nothing wrong with that, but it better be better than my own or others (Such as Colombo down the road). My husband ordered the bolognese with their home-made parppadelle. The bolognese needed a couple more (a lot more hours) to cook down, was very acidic and was lacking the punch of creaminess you get from breaking it down with ... MILK... We had high hopes, but the pasta was overcooked and a bit gummy. I had the veal picatta. Veal nice and tender, soggy but tender. The sauce confused me because it was heavy handed on the rosemary. Rosemary overload can be offensive, and while it didn't get there, it almost did. Garlic to a FAULT (yay, thats a GOOD thing), but the capellini pasta was way overcooked, almost baby food consistency on the chew. IM SO SORRY!!!!!!! I wanted to love it, because their focaccia was superb! I have a feeling that maybe a sandwich on that bread would be GREAT for a lunch. Portions are generous, so they are good for sharing or take home. Unfortunately, I tossed the pasta and made a sandwich with the left over veal - yea it was good. The staff is WONDERFUL and are very proud of what they do. So at least come in for appetizers and some really good drinks or a nice glass of wine!
