Stopped in on a seriously rainy day to ride out the storm, and it couldn't have been a better place to pass the time. We sat at the bar and started with a dozen fresh oysters and added some grilled ones to share. The miso nori butter was a standout for me, while the gochujang version just wasn't quite my thing. We ended up staying long enough for happy hour, which made it an easy decision to order the rockfish tacos, definitely a good call. To top it all off, we went in for another dozen oysters before heading out. If you're nearby, this spot is worth a visit grab some oysters and settle in for a bit. read more

We ordered to-go, as we wanted to have some other food in the food court. The staff was amazing here despite it being very busy. It took some time to order, but the service was so amazing despite it being takeout. We asked for a few extra cups for the clam chowder, and the staff came back with not only extra cups but extra utensils as well. That was great, as we were about to ask for it anyways, and it saved us from needing to ask for more. Plenty of seating in their area or the food court space. The food was okay, but service was amazing. The clam chowder had lots of clams with shells, and a small portion of the actual soup. + Clam chowder is mostly clams, little soup + Other foods were okay + Po Boy was probably the best + Service is amazing read more

The restaurant is located inside an indoor market, with a small bar seating area, a few indoor tables, and some outdoor seating as well. Our server was very friendly, and the food was fresh and flavorful. The only downside was that the creamy soup was a bit too thin. Other than that, we were very satisfied with the experience. read more

Hog Island Oyster Co. never disappoints! I stopped in craving fresh oysters, and it delivered on every level. This location inside Oxbow Public Market is a perfect spot to grab a seat, relax, and enjoy some incredible seafood. We ordered a dozen Chelsea Gems, and they were outstanding -- clean, briny, and perfectly shucked. You can really taste the difference when they're this fresh. The Chelsea Gems had a beautiful balance of ocean salinity with a slightly sweet finish that kept us going back for the next one. I also had one of the most unbelievable Bloody Marys I've had in a long time. It was topped with Hog Island's famous Hog Wash -- that bright, vinegary mignonette with shallots and cilantro -- which added an amazing punch of flavor to the drink. It was a perfect match with the oysters. The vibe is classic waterfront energy -- lively but relaxed. It's the kind of place where you can take your time, lean into the experience and just enjoy good food done right. Service was friendly and efficient, even when busy. If you love oysters -- or think you might -- this is a must-stop. Fresh, simple, and consistently excellent. read more

We went for Happy Hour and sat at the bar. It's fun to watch them shuck the oysters. They make it look so easy. The clam chowder is so legit! There's no shortage of clams in it and it's delicious. Ur server timed our dishes perfectly and checked in on us. They're adding more bar area next door within the building where the cheese and wine store used to be. If you love seafood, you can't go wrong with anything here. Their grilled cheese sandwich is also incredible. read more

My family and I stopped by Hog Island Oyster Co. after already grabbing a bite at Oxbow Marketplace, but we still needed to satisfy our oyster and clam chowder cravings--and this was the perfect place to do it. We were sat outdoors, but the heaters kept us toasty. We also didn't have to wait long before we were seated. I ordered the mixed raw oysters, which included Sweetwater, Highwater, and West Passage oysters. I love raw seafood, and these absolutely hit the spot. Trying all three helped me realize that Sweetwater oysters are my personal favorite, which made the experience even more fun. Everything was fresh and delicious, and I always appreciate learning more about my own taste preferences along the way. Our server was wonderful. Since I'm not always sure what I like, I asked which oysters were the biggest. He explained that sizes vary but suggested the mixed option and even said he'd make a note to try to select some of the larger oysters. I'm not sure if that actually happened, but I appreciated the effort--and I'm glad I went with the mix. We also shared a couple bowls of clam chowder and an order of Old Bay fries. The chowder is thinner than the super-thick, bread-bowl-style versions you might get at Fisherman's Wharf, in case that matters to you. I enjoy both styles, and this one was really tasty with great seafood flavor and very fresh clams. I've been to the Hog Island location at the Ferry Building in San Francisco, and the quality here was just as good. I also visited during the time of a salmonella outbreak linked to oysters in multiple states--and I'm happy to report I didn't get sick. Whether that's luck, careful sourcing, or both, it definitely added to my confidence in the quality here. If you're in the area and craving oysters, I'd absolutely recommend this spot. read more

Great spot in Napa!!! Came here for my cousins wedding and dined here for lunch!!! This spot is located in downtown Napa in the oxbow public market which is a cool atmosphere! Hog island has indoor and outdoor seating (indoor is more limited and outdoor has more space along with heaters) Food we tried: fried shrimp, seafood stew, lobster, Brussels sprouts, and the grilled cheese! The seafood stew was probably the best and our favorite dish.... As this boiling hot tomato broth comes out with shrimp, calamari, tomatoes, scallops and white fish!!! Delicious flavors and the fresh seafood made it a legit dish to order! They also give you bread to dip BUT A TIP: order French fries to dip the fries into the Rich tomato seafood broth! The fried shrimp was delicious, crispy, good size and good batter, but you only get 4 in an order! The Brussels sprouts were very good, tender and flavorful and tasted well with the seafood stew! The LOBSTER was delicious, the full lobster comes out split in half over a bed of crispy fries!!! Awesome combo!!!! Expensive but flavorful and worth it! Overall, great experience and would definitely come back if I visit Napa! read more

This restaurant is located within the Oxbow Public Market, the location is great. Make sure you check in with the host before taking a seat, as there is typically a line, and multiple parties were advised there was a line and they prematurely sat down and waited for service. Came here on a Saturday, the hostess was nice, efficiently cleaning tables between assisting patrons... However, the waiter and waitresses were quite rushy and cold, as in, personality-wise. I ordered the delish kumamoto oysters, the incredible hog island clam Chowder, some fried oysters (amazing omg), oh and some regular bread which was really tough until you put it in the soup. The highlight were the Oysters and the Chowder. The lackluster part was the service - the Chowder took quite long to arrive, and the service was cold and rushy. Additionally, there is a 5% upcharge to assist with their employees' health insurance... welp, that helped me reduce the tip by 5% - I pay taxes to help with the health insurance safety net and did not think it is appropriate to push this requirement on the customer after they waited and sat down. The slow, cold service and required upcharge resulted in a sub-par tip as well as a 3/5 yelp review score. The food was great though. read more

1/20/25 Zach, Coco and I went to Hog Island Oyster for lunch after wine tasting. There is outdoor seating, but you have to check in inside the Ox Bow Marketplace first. Thankfully parking wasn't too terrible, we were able to park in the electric vehicle parking spot to charge the car. But overall, the entire parking lot was very packed when we drive in. I checked in at the restaurant and the hostess said it would be a 15 minute wait. I gave them my phone number since they said we would get a text when our table would be ready. We got a text actually after 2 minutes of waiting. Here's what we got: - Crab mac and cheese (his) - Steamed mussels (share) - Shrimp fettucine (mine) Overall, everything was really good even though the portions were small. Sadly, the fettuccine dish only had 4 shrimps. Service was good though. Our waitress checked in on us a few times throughout the meal. read more

My husband wanted some oysters and tried Hog Island Napa inside Oxbow market. Plenty of parking and seating. It did not dissappoint. We typically get our oysters at Tomales Bay but this was not bad. It was fresh and delicious. Our server explained all type of oyster we had ordered. We also got Rustic seafood stew,clam chowder,grilled cheese with plain french fries all were so good. They gave plenty of seafood in the soup. They also served us with complimentary bread and butter. Our server was amazing and checked in us few times. read more

Oysters were delish. But really, our enjoyment was muted by the fact that "they don't allow other establishment food brought in". Annoyed, because we ordered two plates of oysters, a bottle of wine from Hog Island- and had gotten two small wedges of cheese and crackers from the seller across the aisle from them- to eat along with our food. ....its the public market! They were "kind" about it- but I don't think I'd visit again. It's not like we were sitting there and eating/drinking other items and taking the table without honoring where we were...annoyed bc it's the public market... we've been to so many of these- and that's kind of the premise. Just ruined our enjoyment of being here and instead of ordering any more items- we ended up leaving. The oysters were fab- and really, that was the whole point of stopping here... so ‍ read more

If you're looking for fresh oysters this is your spot! We came here upon closing on a Saturday night located at the Oxbow public market and got seated at the bar. We originally came for restaurant month which includes 6 sweet water oysters, market salad, and half grilled cheese for $35 but they were out of the sandwiches. They didn't have anything to substitute so we just went for the acme bread and butter, clam chowder, steamed mussels and clams and added pasta, and grilled oyster mix which came with 2 each of the flavored grill oysters. I was impressed with the clam chowder and the amount of clams in there that you have to work for but were really good! Paired well with a Pinot Gris. Our meal was about $60-$70 a person since we shared this. Service was quick, they have bar seating, some indoor, and some outdoor seating. There's plenty of parking since they have a huge parking lot. read more

First timer and we loved everything we ordered. We drove from Sac to try this place and it was worth the drive. Will definitely be back for more. The freshness of the seafood and the flavoring was just right. I've had many clam chowders and i think this one was by far the best. Packed with so many clams and other things. We brought our kids with us and even they said everything was good. Kids don't lie when it comes to taste. One gave the waiter a thumbs up! Overall ..love the food here. read more

Stopped by Hog Island at the Oxbow last week after a dog-costume Howl-o-ween event down the street, and it was everything I needed. I've been riding on their oyster train for a while now. This place is my go-to when I want someone scared of oysters to take the leap. And yep, they still deliver. Happy hour was on and oysters were $2.50 each, which is a pretty good steal in Napa. (Yes, I'm still wistfully hoping for the $1 oyster days .) You don't get to pick which oysters you get during happy hour, but the ones we got were fresh with just the right amount of brine. The Sweetwaters are my personal favorite, they always hit. The clam chowder? Top tier. Big clams in the shell, creamy yet light; perfectly done. (Side note: I found a rock in mine but it reminds me how fresh they are!) We also got the steamed clams in white wine broth with fennel sausage, kale and chili butter. And then we went for 4 of the grilled oysters with chipotle-bourbon sauce. Fire. The atmosphere is still so good. Open, lively, right in the heartbeat of Oxbow. Service was friendly and fast, everything felt seamless. If you're in Napa and haven't been here yet, you're missing out. If you love oysters, if you think you hate oysters, or if you just want a solid seafood experience, this is it. I'll be back for many more rounds. read more

Good ol' comfort food. I come here for the Clam Chowder. To me, it personally is the best chowder, although the flavor seems to have changed this time around to me. I believe they used to put more bacon/pork belly before which made it salty and balanced. Now since there seems to be less making it more bland. Still good on a rainy day though, like today. Will be back for Happy Hour for the oysters! read more

I came back to Hog Island Oyster CO for happy hour with friend, and shared two dozen oysters and the shishito peppers between the two of us. We were seated at the end of the bar, behind the heavy curtain that usually surrounds the space when it's closed, but still had plenty of space. The happy hour oysters were the highwaters, which were a brinier oyster, and as it was last time they were cleanly shucked and delicious. The shishitos were perfectly blistered, and we especially liked the aioli that it comes with, though be warned a good amount of these were surprisingly very spicy! There was a small mixup with our bill and another parties, and I ended up getting confused and writing the wrong total due to the conflicting numbers on the receipts, but the staff worked out the correct amounts to fix it quickly, which is greatly appreciated. I'll definitely be back; the happy hour oysters are a good deal, the oysters are clean, fresh and tasty, and the non-oyster offerings are all delicious too! read more

We were in town for a graduation and decided to walk around downtown Napa and check out the Oxbow Public Market. I was happy to find the Hog Island Oyster Co. As I had missed my opportunity when I was in SF. This location is at the very back of the market. You can sit inside if you want to sit at the bar and watch all the cooking and oyster shucking in action. Or join the rest of the diners on the patio, where a majority of the restaurant is served. The entire patio is dedicated to Hog Island and is covered/shaded for the most part. Our party of 10 waited about 30 minutes on a Saturday. The great part is, we did not have to wait in line, we just signed in and waited to be called. This allowed us to walk around the market and enjoy and snack at other venues. Since we nibbled around at the other spots. This was a light lunch or a heavy snack for us. We placed double orders of the following: Grilled oysters - One person in our group does not eat raw, so we go grilled oysters. The blood mary was the table favorite Clam steamers - once finished dip your fries in the leftover clam juice Garlic fries Littleneck clams - we ordered 18 claims and then they sold out for the day Mussells Abalone aguachile - I'm not a huge fan of abalone due to the chewy texture but I heard the flavor was good. Picked veggies (I did not expect much, but it was surprisingly well done and complemented all the seafood with a slight vinegary taste) Everything was very fresh. I would have tried the clam chowder had it not been so hot that day in Napa. Expect to pay a premium especially if you are in a large group. 20% automatic gratuity and 5% wellness fee added to all diners. Will come back if I'm in the NorCal area. read more

After a full day's drive to Napa, food was the first thing on the wife's and my mind after checking into our hotel. Hog Island Oyster Co. in Oxbow Market was a known quantity for us from our last visit to Napa almost 9 years prior. We were very happy that it was still around after all of these years and were also glad that it was still open on a Sunday evening around 6:30 PM. Hog Island is a straight forward oyster bar with a concise beverage list that leans heavily toward local/California selections with an eye to go well with their fresh seafood. I ordered a glass of white wine, the ARNYCA Albariño from St. Helena, which I thoroughly enjoyed with our food. We shared a dozen raw Hog Island Pacific oysters, cold Dungeness crab, Shishito Peppers, and bread & butter. The oysters and crab didn't disappoint in their deliciousness. Their freshness and memory-evoking smell of the ocean hit perfectly with my crisp, medium dry wine with nice acidity. The shishitos were winners and the bread...well, who doesn't love fresh, rustic bread? Hog Island Oyster Co. has remained remarkably unchanged, other than its prices, from what I remember from our previous visit. I felt that we got our money's worth in terms of what we received. While I certainly wasn't expecting white glove, fine dining level of service, the service we received was friendly and attentive. Bottom-line, now that we live a little closer to Napa than we did 9 years ago, it won't be another 9 years before we come back to Napa and Hog Island Oyster Co. read more

The oysters were super fresh and tasty and loved how they have the variety option! Let's you taste every single one they have. Fries were crispy and well seasoned. Honestly was better than I expected them to be. The clam chowder was the star of the show! I thought I ordered clam chowder but instead I got chowder with clams in it!

Ok. Let's say what it is. Tourist trap. The waiter was not very polite very direct and I would say rude. I am direct . Yet polite , is what I have been told. Maybe he's was busy. He was . Yet he took the time to answer questions of other tables , ours - nope. He was rather curt in my opinion. Rather rushed with us , then all of a sudden , nothing , we did. Not see him for a while after . So it's good I guess. Sadly ,,, I live here . I see the difference the way people are treated in the traps. Like we don't matter .. for there will be someone else coming along. So I get it. I don't like it though. The food was good we did get the combination mix n match of the oysters , she got the mussels and I got the pan seared salmon . The shisheto peppers were average . The sauce was the selling point. There is a 5% surcharge for benefits of the staff - I have no problems with that. I just wanted you to know . So tip accordingly. It's a one and done thing. I had a friend visiting from out of town and she was not happy about here visit here. Loved the rest of her day and the other places we visited .. anyone else visits I won't bring them here for lunch. She liked the oxbow market. It saved the moment for a little bit. read more

A lunch with my brother, sister-in-law, and husband after some wine tasting at Sterling Vineyards--and Hog Island hit the spot. I love all oysters (I don't discriminate!), but my favorite here has to be the Sweetwater from Tomales Bay--the perfect balance of sweet and salty. So fresh, so good. You can't go wrong with the Clam Chowder or the Seafood Stew --both are rich, flavorful, and packed with goodness. Craving a sandwich? The Oyster Po' Boy or Shrimp Po' Boy always deliver. And if you're eyeing small plates, don't skip the crab cake--crispy, golden, and packed with real crab. The menu's always changing, which keeps things interesting--but no matter what's on it, there's always something that totally wins me over. Solid vibes, killer food, and never a bad bite. read more

Really good. Had the steamed mussels - broth was flavorful and balanced. My husband had the manhattan clam chowder and also enjoyed it, quite filling. We had the grilled oysters in tomatillo and chipotle flavors. The chipotle had a surprising sweetness to it. the tomatillo had some heat. A side of acme bread was needed for dipping for the mussels as I opted for no pasta! I chose the featured Albariño and he had an oyster shooter. Service was good- servers were friendly. We sat at the bar and it was pretty chill for the most part. I enjoyed watching the cook and the warmth from the kitchen area as it was a cold day. Parking in the lot and surrounding area was easy.
