    James River Oysters

    Many days we just do "Happy Hours" for dinner. You know, find a good restaurant with a bar that has good happy hour offerings. Magic Oyster fit the criteria above so we thought we'd give it a try. When we arrived, the place was packed but we were lucky to grab two spots at the bar as a couple was just leaving. We ordered some drinks and oysters and had a great time. Oysters were delicious and the bar which was staffed with two great bartenders surrounded by a lively crowd. Then we ordered some more drinks and some more oysters. We will have to try the restaurant some day but know we will be back here for Happy Hour soon.

    One of my favorite restaurants on Hutchinson Island! We grabbed a booth for four for a Saturday lunch and were quickly seated and served. I ordered a shrimp po boy while my boyfriend got the crunchy grouper sandwich. Seafood was fresh and as reasonably priced as it gets in South Florida. The ambiance is really cute too, like the inside of a cozy ship. The restaurant offers a wide variety of booth, bar, and table seating, as well as a shaded patio outback. Plenty of free parking in the plaza out front. This is a perfect place to dine when you have family in town and want to serve them a bite from the sea!

    Stuffed shrimp entree

    We stopped in while visiting the area and were treated to an awesome meal in a relaxed atmosphere. My husband had the snapper almondine, which was tender, not greasy, and very flavorful. I had the stuffed shrimp, stuffed with a crab cake style filling that was mostly crab and very tasty. Our waitress Keianna was attentive and fun to chat with. When we're in the area, we'll definitely be back!

    Our appetizer was crab BOM Elaine had the stuffed lobster. I had the Panko crusted grouper.

    We went to the magic oyster our first time there. Fred was a server and he did an outstanding job. I ordered the grouper with Panko. Elaine ordered the stuffed lobster. I have to tell you that the grouper was without question if not the best but absolutely one of the best dinners I've ever had in my 70 years of living on this earth Did the chores neat and clean happy hour is slammed this is our question my new favorite place in Florida Five stars is not high enough rating for the meal I just had

    Lobster and shrimp linguini
    Pat B.

    Inflation seems to have affected most restaurants. Some of them even take advantage and raise their prices way above what would be considered understandable. The Magic Oyster could show these other places how to operate a restaurant serving excellent food at still very reasonable prices. Every time I eat there, I am extremely pleased with the food, service, atmosphere, and prices. No ripping off, no nickel-and-diming the patrons. I had the special lobster and shrimp, artichokes hearts in a light sauce over linguini. It was $32...which is probably the most expensive item on the menu. When I say that there was an abundance on lobster and shrimp, I mean it. As Joe Biden is fond of saying, "I'm not kidding!" Usually, when both are included the shrimp overtake the dish because it is the least expensive. Not here. Three of us had this dish...everyone was thrilled with the flavor and price. The fourth person had the Parmesan encrusted cod and he loved it. We had a great waitress...if she's reading this, we were the people who had the pineapple allergy issue! You were great! I have been here too many times to count as I live on the island. I have tried numerous dishes and have never had a complaint other than the pasta was overcooked once. The next time, I asked for Al dente and they did it. Many, many items on the menu. It's a great little gem on Hutchinson Island. Maybe I shouldn't talk it up so much. I may not get in next time!

    My first visit to Magic Oyster was 6 years ago. I live out of town and this is a must-go place when I visit for the absolute best Oyster Rockefeller in town.

A made to perfection prime rib, a delicious filet-minon with mashed potatoes and crispy asparagus. A super moist salmon with same homemade mashed potatoes and asparagus.

Once seated, two of us enjoyed the escargot, which was just perfect. A shrimp cocktail was also very good and fresh. We all enjoyed the huge salad bar for dinner, which never disappoints! Very fresh and plenty of delicious veggies and salads to make it your own. The location being right on the intercostal makes the seaside ambiance so enjoyable. Stop and give it a try if you haven't already!

    More like 4.5 starts! This place is a local Jensen Beach institution, and it's easy to see why…read more This charming restaurant also doubles as a seafood market during the day only. While they're open for dinner, the market part does close earlier (around 5pm). Their market has many items and they carry stone crabs during season also! The place is older inside, but in a good way that adds to their charm! The place is clean, service is efficient and friendly, and the food is delicious. They do only serve beer and wine, and there tends to be a wait during peak hours. Parking is super easy in their lot. Let's start with one of their main attractions... Scampi! They have the best shrimp "scampi" - this is a dish of just shrimp (no pasta!!), served with an addictive white wine, garlic, lemon sauce and crusty bread for dipping. We always get this appetizer! I love their fresh catch options - usually at least 5-6 varieties of fish to choose from! Get it your way, grilled/blackened/fried/with sauce preparations, etc.! The meal comes with two sides and always hits the mark. I love to pick from the different preparation options! Their lobster bisque is dangerously good and they serve Sherry on the side which we love to add into our bisque! Their hush puppies are insanely good - they have no business being that delicious! We'll be back to this local gem for more seafood soon!

A quick text brought me back to enjoy a meal with family. indoor and outdoor seating. It was too hot to eat outside yet most of the patrons sat outside on the deck. Not sure how-they must be Floridians who are used to the heat and humidity. Not us. We were the only ones that sat in the air conditioning. Chicken salad on a toast with fries- excellent. I ordered the Chicken parmigiana. Instead of the chicken on angel hair I had it on a Kaiser roll. Very good. The service was not great. I was supposed to get fries. Instead I got green beans. Realized my sister in law did not get her vegetable. Rather a side salad.
