Amherst Oyster Bar

Fresh, flavorful seafood. Imaginative flavor combinations. Lively atmosphere. Great service. You can review the flavor profiles of the different oyster types before ordering, which we found helpful in making selections. We had both poppy and Cadillac, which were great. The scallop dinner was outstanding.

This place was absolutely amazing! Our server was the best we've ever had (and we are both former servers)!! The oysters were out of this world!! Our meal was superb!!! We were a bit crowded in for a Wednesday night but it's a great problem to have!! Can't wait to go back again!!

Fantastic restaurant with wonderful waitstaff. The food was delicious. Loved the oyster bar and options! Definitely a good spot for date night or with family.

Really excellent newcomer to downtown Amherst in the former Judy's space. Was here for lunch special--$20 for soup or salad, and sandwich. House salad very good, large bowl with romaine, baby arugula, tomatoes cukes olives and feta. Shrimp roll outstanding. Shrimp large, very fresh, lightly breaded and cooked perfectly. Shoreline highball (alcohol free) also truly outstanding. Contemporary decor, clean lines, spacious. Friendly and efficient staff. Draft beer and cocktail selections look very interesting. Look forward to returning!

The restaurant is very beautiful and the service was friendly and attentive. The wine list is unremarkable and the featured cocktails were too complicated. The crab cakes were good, my husband loved his hot honey chicken sandwich tho the coleslaw was bland. I had the fish tacos which had small pieces of fried haddock and a very bland topping. The fries are plentiful, yet too salty. I’ve heard the oysters are the star, I’m just not one for raw oysters. Good luck ironing out your flavor profiles.
