The bride and I planned a pit stop on our way back from a wedding on the cape and thanks to Yelp, we found this fantastic restaurant which is located just outside of the busy downtown area. Fairly busy Sunday afternoon but we were quickly seated at the raw bar with a great view of the kitchen, which BTW is a well oiled machined and fun to watch, not quite as crazy as the Bear, but impressive. Tuna tartar to start followed by some delicious cherrystones then we split the Mussels in coconut milk with lemon grass and cilantro and some amazing sour dough bread for dipping. 10/10!!! read more

We were pretty disappointed with our experience, especially as a family dining with a toddler. We were told by the host that they would bring us a high chair, but after waiting, our server eventually asked "do you want me to see if I can find a high chair?" We had the request in the notes of our reservation, so it's a shame they didn't have it set up for us when we walked in or at least upon sitting down. There's no kids menu, and the regular menu is very limited if you have a child with a food allergy. My son has an egg allergy, and there were barely any options for him. There wasn't even a simple chicken option on the menu. We ultimately settled on a grilled cheese because it was essentially the only thing that worked, and no one offered to modify something or suggest another option that could accommodate him. The service overall wasn't particularly attentive, which made the limited options even more frustrating. Unfortunately, the food itself also didn't live up to the hype for us. I understand not every restaurant caters specifically to families, but a little more attentiveness and willingness to accommodate a child with a food allergy would have gone a long way. Based on our experience, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant for families with young kids or dietary restrictions. read more

3.5/5 We went to the tree house for a date night on Friday evening. The treehouse is so beautiful with each table having a view it. The food was as usual delish. Got the oysters the corn bread and the steak and it was perfectly done. I wish there was a chutney or something sweetish to cut the whole savory spicy bit off the steak but great overall. Dessert was sweet corn ice cream. Parking lot paid and tight behind they will only validate door $5. The service could have been better our server was meh, looked like he didn't want to be there and our food was very late read more

Very nice venue, modern American. The oysters and muscles were very good and the restaurant was very nice. Our food took forever to get to us, we waited about 45 minutes to get our entries. What really put me off was the NE chowder. There was no chowder. It was a bowl of watery soup with a couple pieces of chopped (almost raw) potatoes. No clam, no quahog, no ham, just watery broth. Bread wasn't available. A can of Campbell soup would have been better. Waitress was nice but inattentive, the place was not busy at all. By the time she came over to ask if we wanted another round of drinks we were annoyed by it all and wanted to leave. The reviews are heavily inflated because it's in a tourist town. read more

Really phenomenal spot. I saw online that this was a popular spot, and I definitely understand why. The oyster selection is really amazing, and the cornbread was crazy good as well. The clam chowder was some of the best I've ever had, too. Everyone was friendly, and service was great. Huge fan, would come back if I found myself in Mystic again! read more

At first glance the entrance looks small and so does the dining room. We sat at the bar. Service was okay - server seemed to be a bit distracted with other things. Food was good although the NE clam chowder was very thin instead of creamy. The tagliatelle was good. read more

I visited oyster club for their happy hour in the bar area. I was hoping to sit in the treehouse but they were unfortunately full. The bar is still really cute and welcoming, we got the oysters of the day (which happened to be Niantic Bay Oysters) and the cocktail of the day which was a margarita. Overall everything was pretty well done, the marg was nice and the oysters were well presented and really good. Our service was really quick and our server was super kind! read more

This was a rustic space with a large bar. They also had a treehouse that overlooked the river where seating could be obtained. I was here for happy hour, which had some appealing deals. The regular menu looked creative and appetizing as well. I had their daily oyster ($1.50 each), mussels ($10), and their cutie smash burger ($9). The oysters were from sixpenny on the day I attended. They were fresh and went down smoothly. The mignonette that was served with it was interesting. It seemed to have some sort of orange juice incorporated, but who knows. It was not bad. I preferred the cocktail sauce and horseradish provided. The mussels came in a coconut lemongrass broth with chili, cilantro, and lime. These were some of the freshest mussels I had in a while. It was noticeable to me from the feel and taste. The coconut lemongrass broth was a nice compliment and very flavorful. The burger was a quarter pound smash patty with cheddar cheese, umami mayo, lettuce, pickles, and white onion. This was cooked ideally to a medium-medium rare temperature. The bread was the key as it held the toppings and was of good ratio. The pickle was nicely folded and placed where it was not hanging off the burger. It was a little sweet, but not a big deal. Will I go back? Definitely. read more

We came to the happy hour a few days ago to enjoy some of their yummy oysters. And at $18 for a dozen, we were indeed happy. But some other things left us not quite so pleased. Their happy hour runs from 4-5 p.m. We arrived at 4:10, ordered our first dozen and waited until 4:45 to get them! We immediately ordered another dozen, which arrived at the stroke of 5. Happy hour over. We have no idea why it took so long to get our order. The bar area was busy, but others seemed to be served more quickly. Anyhow, very disappointing though the oysters were tasty. We'd like to think this was a one-time slow day and not emblematic of any bigger issues at this restaurant, which we have enjoyed in the past. read more

Goodness this used to be our favorite place for happy hour but today we were grossly embarrassed. This was the first time my husband and I brought guests to the Oyster Club and naturally, it was a total shite show. We were panicked, trying to squeeze a party of 6 in at happy hour can be impossible here... or at least it used to be. I was pleasantly surprised when they were able to seat us at 3:50 pm on Friday. Thought we had won the lottery. Things took a turn quickly. A waitress we had never seen before quickly parroted the beers on tap. My husband, who is hard of hearing, asked her to repeat the list, to which she replied "I just listed them". Woof. After that awkward encounter she eventually returned to take our food orders. As we waited for the food, dust fell from the ceiling. My dad, slowly getting more and more worked up compared it to the scenes from Stranger Things in the Upside Down. We all turned our heads and to our horror saw the intake vent for the AC... caked in dust. Dust was literally "snowing" down on us. My father, who I've never seen act displeased with a beer in front of him, brought it to the attention of the nearest server. Multiple employees, all standing there swatting at the flurries as they fell, referred to them as "lint" or "just a few dust bunnies". One waitress even said, "weird because I saw someone cleaning it last week". An hour later, 2 of 3 soups had been delivered, 1 of 2 orders of mussels had arrived, and no smash burgers had made it to the table. We asked for our order to be cancelled and the manager kindly comped 2 of the things we ordered. Two stars because of her. Long story short we will be taking a hiatus and inspecting the vents before we decide to return. read more

Ate here with family last evening and everything was absolutely delicious - unusual and creative cocktails, incredible food. We shared appetizers including the farmhouse greens salad, the tuna tartare, oysters, and summer squash tempura. I had the rigatoni with butter poached lobster for my main and it was spectacular. Service and vibes were beautiful, warm, and friendly. read more

We arrived on a Sunday afternoon and were welcomed and promptly seated. Everyone was very pleasant and welcoming from the moment we walked in.

The food was excellent, and we were very pleased. Highly recommend! read more

Oyster Club is a restaurant and raw bar. Their style cuisine is farm and sea to table; the menu is seasonal and changes often. The ingredients are fresh and local. The chef is a James Beard semifinalist. They also serve brunch on the weekends. In the warmer months, there is a treetop dining upstairs. It's on a deck with beautiful views of the water. It is self serve, you have to order at the counter and pick up your food. The menu is Mexican food inspired. We were going to do this option but it was a very hot day. We had a great experience inside the restaurant. The service was attentive. We started off with some margaritas, half a dozen of fresh oysters, and I had the oyster Rockefeller (baked oysters with creamy spinach, bread crumbs, and cheese) for my meal. The food was fresh and tasty. I look forward to going back and also checking out their treetop dining! read more

Sat at the raw bar for a very fun experience. Semi-romantic, but also could be classy-casual. The oysters were amazing. So fresh! And I got the "native catch" for dinner-- a pice of John Dory fish over a bed of hummus (of some flavor that I don't remember), couscous and tomatoes. The fish was delectable, fresh, and cooked to perfection. I don't really understand the choice of hummus under the fish. It felt a little heavy. I would have rather just had the couscous (or another rice) and a bunch (more) vegetables. I would absolutely come back here, and highly recommend to anyone visiting. There was some cute tree-house attached to the restaurant. I think a different concept, but under the same name? Next time I would want to eat there. Looked so cute! Thanks for a great time! Everyone was so nice. read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our entire dining experience--from the exceptional service provided by our waitress, Colleen, to the incredible meal and the opportunity to meet Chef Nick. The restaurant was spotless, and every dish was absolutely fantastic. We asked Colleen to pass along our compliments to the chef, and to our delight, Chef Nick came out to speak with us personally. He mentioned that this is his last week at the restaurant, and we can honestly say--we'll be following him wherever he goes next! In our culture, when food is truly exceptional, we say, "you put your foot in it"--and Chef Nick absolutely did. Every bite was full of flavor and left us wanting more. Thank you for an unforgettable meal! read more

A must do in Mystic! Best oysters I've had in a long time! I love a raw bar but even more when they do an oyster flight!!!! The bartender and server knew their stuff in this farm to table cuisine! Everything is fresh and farm to table their hot sauce, which changes daily, depending on what they get from the farms the rendition that we had had peach in it, and it was the most amazing thing. You could spoon it into your mouth. Even they are bloody Mary mix had fresh ingredients from the farm in it and was homemade made on site. The decor was beautiful and had jazz music playing in the background. You can get both types of chowder here. Both people in our party decided to go for the New England, which is not made thick with a roof, but then with fresh cream again direct from the farm. Even the oyster crackers are homemade and ground from their sourdough bread. They have a great draft menu of local bruises too. Definitely get the bloody Mary with an oyster shooter! And don't forget about the homemade hot sauce. read more

May be our most favorite restaurant in mystic. We sat at the bar planning to have a drink and apps but ended up staying for the full meal and dessert after we saw the plates coming out. We got the oysters, both soup options and mussels. Everything was great. Awesome vibe, amazing food, and don't forget the butter pound cake at the end. My husband claims it's the best dessert he's ever had. read more

We were very much looking forward to having lunch at the Treehouse and was extremely disappointed. The staff was extremely unaccommodating. While the location and ambience are great, the service does not follow suit. We sat for 15-20 mins and no one came over to take our order nor did anyone tell us to order at the bar. We finally placed our order of food and drinks....no utensils and no napkins came out when our food was serve. When we asked the bartender looked uninterested and inconvenienced when asked. The meal was good but service could use improvement. read more

Another exceptional meal in the Treehouse!! Started with delicious refreshing Hugo Spritz's after a hot afternoon poking about the main drag shops. Last night's options include a smoky clam chowder with incredible stoneground corn bread with honey butter and jalapeno jam, and a dense sourdough rye with dill butter, which I could not stop dunking in the chowder; warm beets with burrata and citrus oil with coriander seeds and sage followed. Some might have preferred the beets chilled but still a strong dish as was tempura summer squash with ponzu dipping sauce and zucchini rollitini served with classic tomato basil sauce. Entree favorites were the juicy bacon burger with world class fresh cut skin on fries and the native catch swordfish served in a carrot bean broth with a hint of spice; I thought that dish might eat better with a fattier fish but I have zero James Beard noms! Bracketed this with raw bar at S&P and some Sift macaroons and the afternoon food tour of mystic was pretty perfect read more

Food & drinks are decent but the service is pretty poor. First visit was unimpressive, the food wasn't anything special and the service was slow. Drinks ran dry a lot. Food took a while to come out. We figured we'd give them another go at a later time, assuming it was a bit of a fluke. Second attempt we waited over 30 minutes for someone to take our drink order before we gave up after seeing new entrants get drinks before we even were able to order ours. We weren't intending to go back a third time but ended up there again and it was our best service yet, but still a bit underwhelming. The drinks were decent but ran out frequently, including water. This was an early evening where the dining room only had a handful of patrons. The food was pretty good, we both enjoyed our dishes. They did come out a bit quick after our oysters, but nbd. The oysters were tasty, and there was a decent selection of regions. Comparing the selection and quality, I'd give the tilt to Matunuck, but they were still great. Each time we visit we've seen service related issues. I think we'll probably just go elsewhere next time we're in the mood for oysters. read more

Each dish was a miss hit. Fresh ingredients with potential to finish on a high note, but consistently missed the mark. NE Clam chowder was more of a confused RI potato chowder, lobster roll was a single slider with frizzled onions on top that totally missed the mark, tuna chorizo was a waste of a good piece of fish in a dish never meant for tuna. read more

We ate at the tree top, the open table upstairs. Thank you the food is phenomenal really I'm not just saying this is our second day back that Carne asada tacos and a spicy slaw salad and black bean salad and a tuna tostada has been awesome. We both got margaritas and they were perfect so nice sitting outside. The service is great. They deliver the food quickly when you get here sit down at a table, there's numbers on them then you go up to the bar and order your food and drink. Tell them what table you're at and they'll bring it. Love this place. It's a beautiful day. read more

This spot is unlike any other I've tried in Mystic thus far. This is Mystic's crown jewel. Came here around 4PM, and my friend & I sat at the happy hour bar. I ordered 20 oysters at $1.5/pc, the smash burger, OC burger, and the native catch (swordfish!). Every single dish exceeded expectation; the oysters were delicious, briny and nothing short of mouthwatering. The smash burger is a lite version of the OC burger, but nonetheless I got it with bacon, and the bun was crisp on the outside, with a juicy patty and a creamy aioli-type sauce. The OC burger itself I got medium rare, and the meat completely shifted itself from a parent to the smash burger to an amazingly fresh, delicate taste with a crunch, and the patty was even more moist and tender, contrasting the smash version in a complimenting way, while honoring the same ingredients that made the smash burger such an experience. The native catch (swordfish) came with couscous, with a green tinted hummus, and had a great texture. The fish was firm, and didn't fall apart, and the same thing for the couscous. The hummus added a very nice earthy flavor, with a nutty texture to the overall meal, and no one ingredient overpowered the entire plate. There was a separate section between the main dining area, which was much darker and intimate, and the happy hour section, which presented a much more open ended and sunnier environment to eat in. The service was amazing, the bartender that tended to us at the bar we sat at was charming to talk to, and we got our orders very quick for how much we ordered. Bottom line, and the lesson I learned, is that if you see a poster, advertising the Oyster Club in front of S&P Oyster, skip S&P Oyster (unless you like $9/bottle of water), and thank the oyster gods you were blessed that day. read more

This place is a bit more upscale and pricey ( A soup and entrée was like 55 dollars, plus tip). The experience doesn't match the price point. I think the thing that bothered me the most was I ordered a soup and asked for some crackers for the soup. They provided me with some oyster crackers, which literally consisted of maybe five little crackers ( I had to ask the lady again could I get a bit more ) and charged me another $1.50 for crackers. What is the world coming to..... Everything was good just not great. Hey, do you have a pretty good set up here where they have an oyster bar where they chuck the oysters in front of you. Maybe one day I'll check that out but overall there's much better places in the area. read more

When we were relegated to the Treehouse despite the empty main dining room, I had my doubts, but Oyster Club has some creative options. Small plates are more abundant than entrees, presumably meant for mixing-and-matching with the namesake bivalve. The $12 Rhode Island clam chowder has me once again referring to the Pulp Fiction $5 milkshake reference, but salt pork does fine work here. The salted fluke was the delightful star of the taramasalata toast. Given my massive lunch, I kept it light here, and only got two Niantic oysters, but they were great as were the accompaniments. read more

Yum! It's notoriously hard to get a seat during the summer season at Oyster Club, and for good reason. This is thoughtfully fresh food in a quaint location with solid service. I would recommend it 10 times more than the tourist favorite S&P Oyster Company, because quite frankly they don't even begin to compare. If you have the chance to grab a seat here... then do it. read more

This was our favorite spot on our overnight to Mystic. Our waitress was so kind and attentive. We loved the inside of the Oyster Club with its decor and comfortable booth seating. We had an early dinner reservation and it was perfect timing before the restaurant got busy. Our favorite dish was the Native Catch which happened to be tuna that day. It was fresh and the cous cous popped with acide and herbs which played nicely. The homemade ice cream might have been the best we had on our trip. Would love to come back. read more

We stopped by during happy hour for the $1.50 oysters, which were absolutely amazing, fresh, flavorful, and a good deal. Unfortunately, the service left a lot to be desired.

Private room for a group. Food was very good as was service. Wine list good oyster raw bar was excellent.

We have had our eyes on Oyster Club for years and finally made the stop this weekend for a birthday dinner. One thing is for certain - this was our first visit of MANY future visits to come! We had a cozy private booth in the restaurant and enjoyed a few different cocktails and dishes. Our favorites included the beets, tuna, and the almond cake for dessert but every single bite we had was outstanding. Their service is second to none and our server happily offered advice and attention along the way. They had quite a few vegetarian options for me as well which is always a big win. We can't wait to come back again soon - from start to finish this was one of the most special dinners we have had in a long time. Thank you for a beautiful night! read more

Wow. You'll want to run, not walk to Oyster Club. Here's why. We were celebrating a special occasion and wanted to have a nice meal in Mystic. The food was phenomenal and the service was even more outstanding. The dining room we sat in was nicely decorated. It reminded me of an elevated lodge/log cabin. It had wood paneled walls, chandeliers made of branches and chairs with plaid upholstery. Aside from it being a nice looking spot where it's clear they paid attention to details, the food definitely hit the mark for me. Ordered: Sourdough ($7)- it was served with olive oil even though on the menu it said it'd come with lemon dill butter. I'm guessing they ran out of the butter. It was good but I wouldn't pay $7 for bread next time. Caesar salad ($14)- this was my favorite thing that I ordered! Instead of romaine lettuce, the salad was made of blanched string beans which were tossed in a delicious Caesar dressing and topped with breadcrumbs. New England clam chowder ($12+$1.50 for oyster crackers)- the soup was light and although it was creamy it wasn't thick. It has a good amount of potatoes, salt pork and clams. It was a nice sized portion. The oyster crackers were good too. Burger ($17+$1 for onion jam)- this was a really nice burger. The onion jam is well worth it! The burgers and fries were a little too salty. Monkfish ($35)- the waitress upstairs at the Treehouse and our waitress downstairs recommended the monkfish. I'm glad I ordered it! It had a nice crisp crust and was well cooked. The accoutrements were tasty- sweet corn and turtle beans. Shoutout to our waitress Sarah, she was great! I would 100% return to Oyster Club! read more

We stopped by Oyster Club for happy hour on the Fourth of July. Their happy hour is daily from 4-5pm, and they offer a daily selected oyster (for $1.50 each), chowder, mussels, a smash burger, steak frites, and drink specials. We shared some of the oyster of the day and some drinks (my friend had a glass of Vinho Verde for $6, my husband had a draft beer for $6, and my friend's husband and I had their handcrafted cocktail of the day for $6). We got there a little bit before 4, which was a good idea, because we got some of the last seats for happy hour (there were about 10-20 people in front of us in line for happy hour). The oysters were good; the service was great; the dining room is beautiful. The happy hour cocktail was a beet juice play on a Mai Tai, which I don't think was very successful but it was just about the prettiest cocktail (so pink) that I've ever seen. Overall, a nice play for happy hour in Mystic. read more
