    Stopped by for dinner last week on a spontaneous choice and ended up being really impressed. The sushi was really, really good and fresh, which is not as common as you would think in Florida. They also had one of the best oyster selections I’ve seen in a while. I believe our server’s name was Iryna, and I hope I’m spelling that right. She was super friendly and her recommendations were on point, which made the whole experience even better. I had a really nice time and I’m definitely coming back to try some of the other things she recommended.

    I had a wonderful dinner last night, and I can't wait to go back! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was perfect—warm lighting, comfortable seating, and a great buzz of energy without being too loud. It felt welcoming and relaxed, despite being on Atlantic Ave. The service truly stood out. Our server, Simone, was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and struck the perfect balance of being helpful without hovering too much. She made excellent recommendations for both food and wine. Now, for the best part, the food! We started with the oyster platter, which was delicious!!! For the main course, I ordered the Frutti Di Mare, and it was cooked to perfection—flavorful, beautifully presented, and clearly made with fresh ingredients. The whole experience, from the friendly welcome to the prompt check, was seamless. It's rare to find a place that nails all three aspects: ambiance, service, and food quality! If you’re looking for a great meal out, City Oyster is a must-try - although parking is a little difficult!

    Stopped by City Oyster last night it was a Friday so the place was packed but thankfully I had a reservation and got seated right away. Our server Iryna came over immediately and welcomed us, which I loved. I started off with a Gypsy Explorer bourbon something I hadn’t tried before and to my surprise, it was right up my alley. My girlfriend had a grapefruit martini and those things are filled to the brim! I’m honestly impressed the server didn’t spill a single drop. We started with the clam chowder, I do wish it was a bit chunkier but that’s just my preference and the tomato & burrata salad which was hands down the best I’ve had. I need the recipe for that green sauce! For entrées we had the Chilean sea bass, recommended by Iryna, and the filet of beef. Both were cooked perfectly. Overall, great service, great food and a perfect Friday night spot.

    Stopped by for some sushi and everything was awesome! Before we came in we called ahead and spoke with Michelle, the hostess she was super nice and gave us different options for parking as the streets do get busy. When we got there, she greeted us right away and we were set instantly. Our server, Iryna, was great really friendly and on top of everything. I ordered the salmon roll along with 4 pieces of salmon nigiri and 4 pieces of salmon sushi and everything was super fresh. The fish to rice ratio was perfect and you could tell the quality was top notch. My friend got the Morimoto roll, topped with salmon, tuna, avocado and seaweed salad it looked amazing and the portion was huge. They could barely finish it! Overall, great service, super fresh sushi and such a nice spot to sit outside and relax. Definitely coming back!

    Made a reservation here about two weeks ago and I’m so glad we did this spot is absolutely worth it! The atmosphere was inviting and lively without being too loud and everything from the service to the food was spot on. Our server, Iryna, was amazing from start to finish. She recommended the calamari, describing them as the perfect combo of crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and she couldn’t have been more right! They were delicious, lightly fried and perfectly seasoned. We ended up finishing the whole plate in no time. I had a Blue Moon with it and it paired perfectly with the calamari. For our entrées, we ordered the Frutti di Mare and the Linguine with Clams. Both dishes were excellent, flavorful, fresh and full of seafood. The Frutti di Mare especially stood out, it was loaded with shrimp, mussels and calamari and the portion was so generous I couldn’t even finish it. Throughout the meal, Iryna checked in often to make sure everything was perfect. She even brought us extra bowls for the shells without us having to ask, which was a thoughtful touch. Overall, everything from the service to the food exceeded expectations. I’ll definitely be coming back soon to try more dishes from the menu!
