My friend and I had tickets for a concert nearby, and having never been to the area before, I…read morelooked for restaurant options on Yelp and found The Dive Oyster Bar a few minutes from the show. Not knowing how busy the restaurant would be on a Saturday night, I made reservations. We dined on the earlier side, and probably could have just walked in. We ended up getting some of the sharables, which was great. I love that their happy hour is available in the entire restaurant. Our server was Shanee, and she was extremely helpful and friendly. Since it was our first visit, we had a few questions and she was able to guide us along. Another person that helped us was Veronica, who was equally helpful and friendly. The food was really good, the service great, and the vibe was friendly. If I didn't live so far from the restaurant, I would go often.

A 10/10 first visit, and I'm already planning my return…read more I stopped in on a Sunday around noon, party of one, and grabbed a seat at the bar. The place was fairly quiet when I arrived, but it picked up as my meal went on. The space is really well put together: nautical theme, interesting art, and lots of natural light from the windows balanced by dark wood furniture. You can watch the chefs cook from the dining area, and the long full bar has a great layout. They also had Sunday football on two TVs, which was a nice touch. It kept things casual without feeling too fancy or too much like a sports bar, just a great vibe for an afternoon of football and a good meal at the bar. The bartender made the experience even better. She was attentive, friendly, easy-going, and engaging, and she was quick, too. You can tell she genuinely likes her job. I'd checked the menu beforehand and spotted the mussels and fries. I love both, so I had to try it. The portion is big enough to share, but it works as an entrée if you're hungry. The fries come topped with a truffle garlic mayo, and the mussels arrive steaming hot in a delicious broth. You choose your spice level, and I went spicy. It was perfect, with plenty of heat that never buried the flavor of the broth. I usually only trust mussels near the ocean, but these were cooked perfectly and won me over. The pairing with fries is one I never would have imagined, and it works. If you like garlic, you'll love the broth. As the mayo melts in, it turns creamy and almost looks like a tomato bisque, seasoned to perfection with a flavor I've never had before. Even soaked in broth, the fries stayed crispy. One tip: I finished everything and still had a lot of broth left. My bartender offered bread for dipping, but I was too full and didn't know it was an option. Next time I'll save room or ask for bread right away. I also tried the seasonal spiked apple pie cocktail, with a cinnamon-sugar rim and a cinnamon stick garnish. It was flavorful without being overpowering, the kind of drink you could easily have more than one of. I'll be thinking about this dish until I'm back, which will probably be soon. I'm dying to try the mac & cheese topped with hot Cheetos, plus a few other things on the menu. Highly recommend!

For the price of food and the amount you get, I can't complain! The flavor of their own seafood boil sauce (boom sauce?) is a standard seafood boil flavor, it's legit. The flavors don't overwhelm you and make you wanna go to the toilet right away, you know what I mean? The family pack comes with 3 corn on the cob, 3 sausage pieces and 3 potatoes (like a medium sized potato!) it was good but I wish the seafood had time to sit in the sauce, you can tell the food was dumped on the sauce. We had to fight to scoop some sauce onto our mussels cause the bag was so full of food- what a good problem to have. Maybe the sauce is a bit thin? Maybe that's why it didn't stick to the food? Service was good, the ladies were attentive and professional. The decor looked like this place was known to be a bar- I mean there's a huge bar to the side. There's even a second floor but no one was seated there so it doesn't look used. Cute decor with the sea theme. Not happy about their toilet in the women's restroom. There's a a sign saying to please not dispose the toilet seat covers in the toilet cause it could clog it up. I was being a nice person and went to the trouble of respecting their wishes. It was gross as I was being careful not to touch the peed parts of the toilet seat cover. Don't judge me, only God can judge me! Come here to feed your family and friends at a very reasonable price! And if you're a lady you're gonna have to hover while you pee if you don't want to deal with the toilet seat cover disposal issue...

One faux pas, which I find surprisingly common even at restaurants that highlight oysters on the menu: the server forget to bring me an oyster fork and I had to chase one down. The heirloom tomatoes salad was marvelous! Lots of fresh tomatoes bursting flavor, nicely accompanied by avocado slices that enhanced the tomatoes instead of competing with them. This puts to shame the heirloom tomato salad at San Laurel in the nearby Conrad hotel. I'm usually reluctant to order a steak at a seafood restaurant, but I have been recently disappointed several times at steakhouses and gave it a try here. The filet mignon was very good. Service was outstanding, although it faded a bit towards the end of my meal. My server--Christopher--was courteous, friendly, attentive, and mostly quick. Two different managers stopped by several times to check on me. For dessert, a scoop each of sweet cream, white chocolate chip, and peanut butter ice cream and an espresso martini.
