We started off with a mango margarita, which was not my favorite 6/10, it was very clumpy and seemed like the just dumped in some artificial mango sauce. The arancini could've been good but it had so many onions, I don't mind onions but I think the portion of onions just took over, barely got any cheese from it. 5/10. The beer battered fish and chips were very good, 9/10. I would eat this again for sure. The seasoned grilled fish was disappointing, it was flounder but it just lacked seasoning, very bland. I was mixing it was sauces that came on the side for my beer battered fish. The risotto didn't do much for the dish, considering it was a seasonal fish, I just thought it would be better. Good place overall.

We tried two kinds of ceviche and a shrimp taco. the ceviche with mango - it was good but was lacking lime and citrus flavor but overall the choices of seafood was greatly balanced with the red onion and tomato and all. 3 Amigos ceviche - this was really nicely done with the zest, citrus flavor and the combo of all i ingredients. it just happened to be a tad on the saltier side ( may have been just today's batch that had too much salt). Really enjoyed that both ceviches did come with good amount of crunchy tostada. We also tried the shrimp taco. Their house chipotle sauce on the shrimp taco was a chefs kiss and levered the flavor so well.

The seafood tower was really large and the seafood was fresh. the mango ceviche was another top favorite. It was a little different than the other ceviches since it had the fresh mango and the sushi grade tuna. The soup lacked a lot flavor it was probably our least favorite dish. The fried fish was overcooked and small for the price.

New Orleans BBQ Shrimp - tasty and a pretty big portion with freshly grilled bread 2. Steamed Mussels - another bigger portion app that had a really nice white wine butter sauce 3. Grilled Oysters - these were excellent and I could've ordered many more portions 4. Clam Chowda - bowl was a big portion and super filling so could've probably just done the cup. 5. Shrimp & Grits - this was just ok in my opinion. We've had way better 6. Lastly ended with the creme brulee which was good but the topping of white powdered chocolate (?) and sorbet was such a weird pairing and did not go well. Overall this would be 3.5 stars. Nothing here that I'd crave and want to come back for but not a bad meal either. Convenient location next to so many offices and Westlake, and plenty of parking.

**Updated Review**…read more I've been back a few times since my first visit, and each experience has been great. The ambiance is cozy, classic, and laid‑back -- perfect for groups, business lunches, or dates. I especially enjoy their seasonal cocktails -- they're delicious. And no matter what, my top dish will always be the lobster roll. I will say that my friend's steak wasn't prepared as requested (undercooked), and even the second attempt missed the mark. Personally, I've never had any issues with my orders, and this spot remains a top choice for those who live nearby.

This would be a great date dinner spot as well as a lovely place to kick back and enjoy a gorgeous seafood dinner. My vodka martini and glass of Chardonnay were great, the Chenin Blanc by the glass was also worth ordering. We loved the wood grilled oysters in a zingy citrus and spice sauce. They were a thrill to the tongue and you got the perfect amount of smokiness. The blue cheese wedge was so good. I wouldn't mind a less salty bacon, but it was still so good that I made it all go away. I loved how the tomatoes and cucumbers tasted like they'd been individually tossed in good olive oil and lemon even though the wedge had a classic creamy blue cheese dressing. Shore's chef is really bringing all the flavor to the dish components. The whole fried red snapper in mojo de ajo was glorious. We split a two pound version between the three of us and that was just right. The snapper was fresh, tender, and tasty, and it was served with components of pico, cabbage, delicious black beans, very good rice, tortillas... I recommend Shore!

The signature boil was about average. Decent price, but a bit blunt when it comes to flavor. Chicken fried ribeye was delicious but wayyyy too much batter. Loved the drinks, I had The Daphne and Bongos Naked. The Daphne was closer to pina colada. Pretty strong drinks, I started feeling it toward the middle of my first round. Would definitely like to try other options

Outside there's a cute playground, gated, for the younger kiddos. Perfect for those who want to keep the kids occupied but also enjoy a snacky snack and a drink. There are plenty of gluten free options, and we ended up getting the Yardbird Chicken Sandwich on a gluten free bun, a complimentary Reuben sandwich on a gluten free bun, fish and chips, and a burger for the kiddo. All of them were great! Hubby enjoyed the fish and chips and the spray bottle with malt vinegar! Such a fun touch, nice and crispy, and the chips were crunchy and delicious. I actually really liked my chicken sandwich. While it looks standard, it was such a good bite, super filling, and since gluten free, I got a side salad which was nice and simple and light. The Reuben was GREAT! I was so excited I could have it since on a gluten free bun. The corned beef wasn't super greasy or heavy or too salty which I really appreciated, and the aioli was great to balance out all other parts of the sandwich. The slaw, pickles, everything were all so good, and definitely worth getting in the future! And our kiddo demolished the burger in a heartbeat! Add some great service - super kind, funny, and made me feel so safe eating there with an allergy. He was great, and even though he was busy, he did such a great job coming and checking in! We also had a pint of Lazarus Rice Lager which has been treated and is consumable for those with a gluten allergy (not Celiac)! I love Lazarus beers so much, especially this rice lager! So light and perfect on a hot day! We would definitely come back any time! Defintely worth the stop!

We waited about 5-7 minutes before someone came to greet us at the hostess station. After greeting us she seated us. Once we were seated we waited awhile before she came back with menus and she took our drink order. After a few minutes she brought us our waters and took our order. The hostess/waitress was really busy but despite that she did an excellent job taking care of us. For our starters we shared two items. The Carnitas Poutine which comes with fries, pulled pork, cheese, jalapenos and red onions. This was really good. The pulled pork mixed with the other ingredients was filling and could be a meal on its own. We also shared the fried cheese curds. They came with a tomato sauce and a buttermilk sauce that you could dip your curds in. These were really good when they came out. The cheese was nice nice and stretchy and the exterior wasn't very crunchy but added texture. Both sauces were good and each had a distinct flavor. For our main meal we all shared a bowl of the Truffle Fries. They aren't on the menu but the waitress told us that if you request them the chef can make them. They were really good fries. My husband and son both ordered the Southwest Pimento Burger which comes with beef, pimiento cheese, jalapenos, a tostada, corn relish, and aioli. They said that the burger was really good. I ordered the Harvest Burger cooked Medium. It comes with beef, cabbage, apple jam, aioli and cheese. I ordered mine with swiss cheese instead of cheddar cheese. The burger was delicious. It was cooked perfectly. I could taste all of the combined ingredients and really liked the sweet and salty flavor of it. It was just balanced so well. Overall Oasthouse is a good lunch spot. The service was good despite the waiting plus they have a variety of starters and delicious burgers.

They gave us a small scoop of pimiento cheese with 2 crackers. It's zesty and creamy and great to have an amuse-bouche before our appetizer came out.

It was perfectly cooked with lots of crunch. I think there were 8 shrimp. I loved the jalapeño tartar dipping sauce. I skipped the fries and for more black beans instead. What I should have done is gotten more slaw instead. That slaw a medley of red cabbage, green cabbage, carrots and cilantro - it was so well seasoned. Great food, amazing service, fun setting. Loved this spot!
