My first time at Moby Dick's Oyster Bar & Grill was an overall great experience. It is a classic…read morebar and restaurant setup with main bar seating and tables all around. It isn't huge inside but they use the space so wisely. The kitchen is open to the bar so you can see and hear all the amazing things happening back there which really adds to the local neighborhood vibe. The bartenders there are very sweet and attentive, they help bring the whole experience there to 5 stars. I came on a Wednesday for the $17.99 lobster roll special and it was easily one of the best I've ever had. It is a quarter pound of lobster and you get actual lumps of claw and meat rather than the shredded stuff some other places serve. The butter it's sautéed in is seasoned delicately to accentuate the fresh lobster instead of covering up the taste. The portion was surprisingly large and it comes on a fresh bun that is lightly buttered and toasted. It even comes with a little cup of extra butter which I totally slathered on because I love butter! Every bite was so fresh and soft. The roll comes with fries and I did the optional $5 upcharge for the lobster bisque. That was also the best I've ever had because I've never seen bisque with such large chunks of lobster in it. It was just crazy good. Everything was well worth the price and I'd honestly come back even on days when it's not a special. They have something going on every night like the $9.99 burger and fries on Mondays, so that will definitely be my next reason to visit. I will be back for sure!

Lunch is $22.99 ALL WEEK, not just weekdays, and dinner is $32.99. They also have an all-you-can-eat Cajun seafood boil add-on. If you want snow crab legs, it's only another $10 with dinner. If you don't need the snow crab legs, it's only an additional $5 with lunch. Honestly, where are you getting a better deal for all-you-can-eat Thai, Japanese, Chinese, dim sum AND sushi?! I also love the tablet ordering system. There are pictures and descriptions for almost everything, so it's really easy to order. Everything is freshly made to order and they bring the food out as it's ready instead of waiting for your entire order to be finished. So things are constantly showing up hot and fresh. I've tried pretty much everything at this point Portions definitely vary. Some things are smaller, while the Chinese entrées are probably some of the biggest portions. The sesame chicken is SO GOOD. Super crispy, savory and flavorful on the outside but still juicy inside. The sushi is great too, although once you've completely overstuffed yourself, they all start tasting a little alike LOL. But seriously, everything we had was hot and fresh. Zero complaints. The inside is a little dark, but in a cozy/intimate way, and there's still plenty of lighting. From what I remember, it's mostly booths and they're really comfortable. Bathrooms have always been clean when I've been there, and they also have a walk-up hot bar and dessert bar. I leave here absolutely STUFFED every single time. It's worth every penny and then some. I already can't wait to go back and try the Cajun seafood boil next!

We went around mid day so the restaurant was not busy at all. All services provided were quick and efficient and we were in and out in about an hour and a half. I would definitely recommend this spot for any seafood lovers!

I understand that mistakes happen, but it's frustrating when the same item is forgotten over and over again, especially since I visit this restaurant often. Another issue is the portion sizes. For almost $30, I expected a much larger catfish and shrimp platter. The catfish portions were so small that they looked more like chicken tenders than catfish fillets. The manager, Hidi, spoke with us privately about one of the mistakes, which I appreciated. However, after dealing with the same problems repeatedly, I'm disappointed. As a paying customer, I expect better service, accurate orders, and portions that match the price.
