Oyster Party feels slightly out of place- it's a raw bar with coastal shack energy. Except, it's not on the coast- it's on Route 28 in Woodstock, NY.
A few steps way from Santa Fe restn't, Oyster P. is small. The menu is smaller. That's the point. Plus every item on their menu is cooked with intention making the true flavors to shine. Lobster rolls come two ways: butter(hot) or mayo. There's a lobster po' boy with meaty oysters, a clam chowder (with pork). The raw oysters is why hubs and I came; these folks deliver every single time we've stopped by.
The guys working here are friendly and sharp. But Jordan in particular, stands out in a real way, like someone who actually wants you there, not someone just taking space.
Oyster Party is a place that doesn't try to impress you with a gazillion types of oysters. Now, if you're talking about their catering company, yes. Instead, they keep it tight usually 3, maybe 4(?) at a time and that's exactly the point. Each oyster on the list earns its place. They're fresh, briny and packed with flavor, the kind that tastes like clean ocean water. Some hit sharp and salty, others are creamy and smooth. No funny business - just a tight lineup of oysters that prove less really does taste better.
Eating oysters only in the summer? Nope. These folks keep it going through fall and winter too proving that cold months don't kill the vibe and don't wait for beach season to shine. This place may not make sense to some, but somehow, it does up in the boonies. read more
