We came in for an espresso martini after dinner at another place. It was very light in color. Service is courteous which I always appreciate. The place is beautiful. Next time I'll have to vibe to try offer things. Live the selection of high end spirits read more

I enjoyed an amazing dinner. The sourdough bread to start is exceptional--warm, crusty, and impossible to stop eating. The Oysters Friskafella are a must-order and absolutely packed with flavor. I loved the lobster gigli--it was rich, comforting, and beautifully done. Drinks were creative and delicious. The service was friendly and warm, and I absolutely loved the ambiance and stylish decor. A fantastic dining experience from start to finish! read more

Wow, what awful service. We were looking to get after dinner drinks and desserts with 11 people tonight (Sunday). I understand that's a lot of people but the ENTIRE banquette by the window was open (could seat more than 11 people easily) as well as 4 seats at the bar and multiple open dining room tables. We were told by the bartender that they expected a reservation for one of the window banquette tables. I asked what time they expected their reservation because we would happily make sure we'd be gone by then and the other bartender said nastily "That's not important" and went on to say "we cannot accommodate you we are a small restaurant". We would have happily split ourselves up, but it was clear the bartenders didn't want to work anymore after 7pm and wanted to turn away anyone. The worst hospitality I've experienced in greenport. read more

Came here with a large group for a friends birthday. The restaurant is cute and cozy and the hostess was very nice when we walked in. For appetizers we shared oysters (yum), crab cakes (good but small). For dinner I had the scallops and risotto which I enjoyed. My friends had the lobster pasta which they also liked. Service was good, prices high, but that's just the area, and dessert we had some Dubai chocolate dessert which I was not a fan of. Overall a good meal and would come again if we were in the area! read more

Came here for date night with my husband and it was the perfect spot. Dark, moody, intimate; great for dates or dinner with a small group of friends. The server was super kind and attentive. The bread that came to the table to start was crispy and warm. My husband enjoyed his oysters. I ordered the lobster pasta which was delicious and ended with the pecan pie which was totally dreamy served with salted caramel ice cream. Thank you! read more

Delicious lobster quesadilla. Chill vibe and nice wine selection. A nice afternoon snack.

Came here for dinner last night. Was with a group on 8 people. Service was good and the waiter was very attentive. I split wine with a couple of friends and had an espresso martini which was good but close to 25$. You don't even spend that much in NYC. Crazy to me. Anyways dinner was just OK. I had the lobster with pasta and the lobster was tough. The sauce was very good though. My husband had the short rib which he also liked but a bit tough as well. I wouldn't go back. read more

Food is good and consistent but what irks me the most is the drink/wine/beer menu - prices are ridiculous (wayyyyy overpriced). These are prices I'd expect to pay at the Ritz Carlton on the Moon. Outrageous. Don't mind paying a little extra for good food but there better be gold nuggets in my $28 smoked old fashioned! read more

Excellent service, ambiance, and deliciously prepared food. My breast of duck was perfection. My wife's short rib was delicious. The service was professional and friendly. Top notch, 5 star restaurant to celebrate any special occasion,, Yet I leave with just one fairly huge BUT. Does a restaurant, that I really enjoyed, HAVE to charge 20 dollars for a simple glass of wine? Do they have to charge 15 dollars for a small piece of cake? I feel it's greed. COVID is over, Let's get some normalcy back. I don't mind the higher end entree prices, the food is delicious. Yet I don't like feeling like I was robbed either. Otherwise a highly enjoyable and delicious dinner. read more

The food was delicious, smaller portions as you would expect from a fine dining experience. Our only gripe would be the service was below par--soup was brought without a spoon, we had to ask the hostess twice to find the server, and the hostess took our desert order when she couldn't find our server. When we were ready to leave, I had to go to the bar to ask our server to please deliver the check. We kept in mind that we got there late (8ish) and this is off season for the area but our experience would have easily been 5 stars with a little more effort by the front of house. read more

Four of us dined here on Saturday night and we had a great experience all around. Standouts were the crispy calamari salad as a starter and the short rib and duck breast mains were outstanding. Enjoyed a nice bottle of Sancerre with dinner and for dessert we had pecan pie and the banana shortcake. Our server was lovely. We always enjoy the Frisky Oyster when we are in Greenport. read more

Went here for my birthday dinner and it was completely packed. We were seated right away for our reservation thankfully and ordered drinks. We got two of the cocktails off the menu and they were literally the most expensive list of drinks I've ever seen at a restaurant, more than anything I've seen in Manhattan. Each of our drinks were between $22-25 which to me for a glorified gin and tonic and spicy margarita is ridiculous. They were nothing special and honestly I wish I had that $50 back and had just stuck with water. The oysters friskafella were very tasty but if you put breadcrumbs and garlic on anything they'd be good. Oysters on the half shell were delicious and fresh. I also loved the bread basket and salted butter they bring to the table, so good I couldn't stop eating it. We ordered the lobster pasta and the sea scallops, both were sort of mediocre and the lobster pasta lacked flavor in my opinion. For such a hefty price tag and such amazing reviews I had high expectations that weren't met. My biggest complaint was how HOT the restaurant was, it literally made me feel sick after eating a heavy meal I had to go stand outside. It was probably 80 degrees inside which took away a lot of the enjoyment. Meal was decent but too expensive. I'd try somewhere else next time. read more

Meh. Have gone for many years. Food is reasonably food. Prices are utterly ridiculous.

It has been a long time since I have been to Greenport. I was surprised to notice the upgrade in the area. Especially with the addition of the new upscale restaurants. The Frisky Oyster resembles a Hamptons-style place that provides sophisticated food with South Fork prices. The main dining room is set back from the outdoor bar area that comfortably sits by the seasonally busy Front Street. The indoor dining area is decorated with white wallpaper, royal blue, navy, and black paint along with white chairs, tablecloths, and globe light fixtures. Our entrees were delicious which included a creative Chicken Milanese, and seared tuna fillet. As appetizers we had the Oysters on half shell along with soft shell crab. The ambiance is marvelous, I highly recommend this restaurant, the food was wonderful, and the service was excellent. read more

The good: Service was fast, food is so delicious. Corn soup, tuna tartar, short ribs, and lobster pasta were all excellent. The bad: The sides for the short ribs lacked flavor, didn't really add much IMO. Seating is tight and its very dark inside. We skipped drinks because they are expensive. read more

Went there on Sat night with a few friends after some vineyard hopping. This place is a vibe-- intimate and warm yet still exudes some liveliness from the bar. We started with cocktails (espresso martini was a 10) and then went straight into apps with their oyster special, and the prosciutto wrapped egg situation with burrata. ABSOLUTELY DELISH! I had the tuna for main course, which was fine, but didn't hold a candle to the lobster pasta. In hindsight, I'm glad I didn't order it, as I have ZERO self-control, but happy that I got to take 14 bites from my friend (who's comprised of 72% self-control...) We finished off with some lime/cheesecake sorcery and ended with a (not needed) night-cap. All in all, a lovely meal with attentive (non-abrasive) waitstaff. read more

Food is always absolutely incredible. The people are so friendly, and the service although there was a packed restaurant and only a few staff on is always impeccable. Such an amazing and impressive place. A must stop if you're in the area. Perfect for a date night, the ambiance is cozy. Will be back and soon read more

Smallest piece of halibut ever served!!! Quite unbelievable for the price. I've eaten here many times before without a similar experience. It was a Sunday night and I didn't see the chef who is usually there so maybe avoid Sundays? Love the ambiance but still way overpriced. Other thing is menu never changes. Therefore after eating same dishes for the last ten years I think I'm done. read more

Dined indoors on a Saturday night after booking a few days prior. We were nicely greeted and quickly shown to a snug corner booth. Immediately loved the Frisky Oyster's dim lighting, funky chandeliers and casual urban vibe. Staff was professional, pleasant and helpful despite a fully booked room. The crowd ranged from young hipsters to groups of frisky seniors, some seemed to be regulars dining happily at the attractive curved bar. My WARD cucumber/gin based cocktail was refreshing and packed a nice boozy punch. Hubbie said his Colorado Stout (on tap) was very rich and flavorful. Shared the country salad, crunchy greens studded with juicy pork lardons and tangy dressing. Plenty for two, delish and a great way to start off the evening. The sea scallops with risotto were large, fresh and perfectly cooked. I was considering the lobster pasta for my entree but after hearing it was cream based (not my thing) I went for the short ribs with pomegranate sauce, melt-in-your-mouth tender and utterly scrumptious. Our lovely server (sorry forgot her name) gave me great advice on that one! We were full so didn't get dessert but the list certainly looked tempting. While the Frisky Oyster isn't cheap, their menu offers items at a wide variety of price points and the vibe was welcoming and friendly. Our best dining experience in Greenport. read more

I'm not sure that I would go back. It was very dark which creates a vibe but it was a little too dark. The waitress was lovely and helpful. The entrees averaged $45/$50 a plate but the portions were not huge. The duck was flavorful but the Lobster Gigli pasta that everyone raves about was just okay. The risotto that came with the scallops was delicious. One complaint I have is that the tables were very close together so it felt a bit crowded and people were in our space trying to pass by. I personally won't be back but maybe you'll have a better experience. read more

What a disappointing meal. I truly believe the service you receive can make or break a meal. We had a 7PM reservation on Father's Day we were promptly seated. Took a bit for our waitress to come over, does not introduce herself but asks what we would like to drink. Order drinks, received said drinks place our dinner order.... And wait awhile... food arrives by bus boy/runner. Never see our waitress again til we are almost done only to ask if we want dessert. I sat with an empty wine glass my entire meal. Only to be watching the waiter next to us chatting it up and being super friendly to the table next to us. What a world of difference a table over because of the service. My chicken was fine. Nothing special, the lobster pasta very salty. read more

My husband and I went to dinner for our anniversary and had a lovely time. The food was amazing and our server, Cara, was so attentive and sweet. Our cocktails were well made. I had the chopped vegetable salad and it might be the best salad I've ever had! The owner even sent over a complimentary serving of their signature item, oysters friskafella, for our special occasion. We just wanted to say thank you to the gracious staff for providing such a wonderful experience. read more

First time visiting this restaurant & it was amazing! We were a large group of 16 & the staff was very accommodating last minute! Service was quick even with a large last minute group! The food was absolutely delicious. The entire group raves about all of the dishes. The star of the show is the oysters! A MUST try! The halibut, lobster pasta, the duck burgers were also huge hits. A must try! read more

We have only been to the Frisky Oyster once but enjoyed our time. It's smaller than expected, certainly gets crowded and one of the nicer restaurants in Greenport. It almost felt like a club later on with blasting music. We ordered the following to share: Appetizers - Soft shell crab 3/5 - Caprese salad 4/5 Entrees - lobster gigli pasta 5/5 -grilled fish special 3/5 My only regret would be not getting the grilled oysters which seemed pretty pricey but appears to be one of the star dishes aside from the lobster pasta. read more

Stopped in on a Tuesday evening around 5pm -- we wanted to eat outside but they only had a few tables, so we sat indoors at the window seat. Both of our cocktails were delicious - my husband ordered the Beaver Fever (basically a spicy jalapeño margarita) and I had the Pomelo (I asked to swap the reposado for blanco tequila). Both were great! We started with oysters - they had a coconut granita on top which was different than I've ever had with oysters, and I really loved the flavor it gave them. For entrees, I ordered the halibut. It was seasoned like a delicious Indian curry and had a beautiful yogurt raita and a green tomato underneath. My husband ordered the duck -- he had requested it medium but it was a little more well done than we were expecting, but it was still tasty. Beautifully decorated - modern and classy. Great menu. read more

Had a wonderful time yesterday at The Frisky Oyster while taking a trip out east, found the spot on the main drag and they had an open table outside, no reservation needed! The hostess/server was very sweet and helpful, told us about some cool places in town, told us what she liked on the menu, was very personable and friendly with us. We ordered some Oysters, Lobster Quesadillas, The Montauk Tuna, and Chicken Milanese. All were very delicious, beautifully prepared, and served by another great server. Had a Nitro Stout with it too that was a perfect combo. Spot is on the expensive side, but worth it for the service and quality of food. Highly recommend if you are in Greenport! read more

I have been here several times for drinks and appetizers. More recently today where the drinks have been even better than usual. On the pricier side but definitely worth it.

Staff has always been attentive and friendly read more

TLDR Pros Several options for vegetarians and vegans! Hooray! Let's celebrate the veggies growing out here Menu is thoughtful Food and quality are excellent Service is outstanding - shout out to the bussers who don't miss a beat Cute decor Open later than many restaurants in greenport Cons Dark Can get loud Crowded - tables very close together Pricey Honestly most of the food in north fork has left us underwhelmed and the service has been poor But not at the frisky oyster. Both are outstanding So listen it's kinda a weird vibe Like unhappy looking young kids working at the door and bar - we almost didn't stay because the male and female hosts stared at us blankly and didn't talk to us or respond when we talked. No facial expressions. No recognition they heard us. I thought for a second maybe they don't speak English? So weird. Once you're seated the staff is awesome It's kinda like a club vibe but it's a weird mix of very old people from like 5-7/8 pm then families and people on dates plus bros at the bar The food is so good Honestly I was most impressed w the vegan vegetarian options The corn soup w truffle foam doesn't sound like much but it's incredible- we took 2 home The bread is made for them by blue duck like a sourdough mix and it's served w butter and Himalayan salt - so good The roasted tomato gratin was a side and we were so glad we ordered it. It was delicious but sorry we didn't ask for more bread to eat w it The soft shell tempura crab salad was good but not great - nice salad but so much tempura the crab gets lost The quinoa cakes were delicious and such a nice vegan surprise - I'd order this again and I'm not vegan The food comes out piping hot The dessert had 2 Vegan options - the tres leches was ok but the vegan coconut choc chip ice cream was amazing! Even the roasted marshmallow was Vegan Can be pricey but worth it imo Can also can quite loud And it's dark - lots of people w flashlights on over the menu Tables are very tight read more

Nice spot. It is pricey here -- Food is made well. It was a rainy day and there were still a good amount of people dining in. Here's what we ordered: - grilled lobster quesadillas - w pepper jack, goat cheese, grilled corn, and avocado salsa - duck confit spring rolls - w/ goat cheese, scallions and soy ginger - braised beef short rib - w/ country view farm corn pudding, whiskey jus - frenched chicken breast - sweet potato, churizo, breeze hill cider, goat cheese - cappuccino, and 2 other cocktails. All good, but definitely pricey - lavender creme brulee I wouldn't come here often, but glad I got to try out something from each section of the menu to be able to rate it. The food is made very well, the ambiance is dark and not loud. It was nice on a windy/rainy day. read more

Wonderful! We got back super late to LI from a trip to Acadia Natl Park (Bar Harbor, ME) so we were STARVING! We saw they were still open till 10pm so came in to try to grab some last minute eats. I got the halibut, and my husband got the short rib. Both super tasty and great flavors. My one recommendation to the chef for the halibut with all the Thai flavors would be to add some chili flakes, it needed just a slight kick to it to help with the smooth/sweet coconut broth. The staff was very friendly and wonderfully accommodating to us late comers. read more

Went here for the first time tonight. Was excited to try it. However, the bartender Shannon was so rude. Didn't acknowledge us when we sat down and then just asked us what we wanted. Didn't check in with us and then gave us the check without seeing if we wanted more drinks, which we did. He was also rude to the couple next to us and they left immediately. We got a couple of apps which were good. But can't believe how badly the bartender treated us. We won't be back as there are many other places in Greenport that treat you well. read more

Came here to celebrate my engagement and everything was great! It's a very romantic vibe and was fitting for our celebration.

I can see why this place is a recommended place as a first date spot @northforker magazine. My husband and I are on our honeymoon and considered this place for its food and intimate setting. We loved the food , watermelon margarita , steak and dessert . I must emphasize that the we are not an oyster fans but the oyster Friskafella are to die for ; Loved them! We also met wonderful couple that invited us to taste the Sparkling Point Carnaval Rosé. We loved it so much that we went and bought one the next day. Thank you for a wonderful meal. We will definitely be back . read more
