Oyster Bay Restaurant Bar - CAPE MAY

Great deal on oysters, food terrific and friendly service. Will definitely return. Great location.

Came here for happy hour of buck an oyster. They came through, had to wait a bit as the waitress said only one shucker. She seemed overwhelmed a bit and a bit snippy, I would be a little like that too if I were short staffed and running around like she was. Overall she came around after it settled down. Go early for the oysters very tasty and they were Wellfleet oysters.

We wanted steaks and were willing to pay the price to get good ones. Unfortunately, none of the steaks at this restaurant were cooked to our specification. We all ordered medium: one steak was very rare and two were very overdone. We were too hungry to wait for new steaks, so we just ate two of them which, unfortunately, just weren 't very good. The third steak was so obviously overdone that we asked for a comp. before consuming it. The manager, Gary, came out and said the cook normally does not make mistakes, but he would give us 30% off the one steak or we could wait for another to be cooked. This was not acceptable and quite a bit of back and forth arguing took place. We finally said the $55 steak was inedible and to take back the entire meal without replacement to which Gary said Awesome and whisked it away. We did get the comp at this point for a meal that was not eaten. They also gave us a 15% discount on the other 2 bad steaks. This was an awful experience that left us all hungry and extremely disappointed. Our neighbors at the next table also commented on the poor quality of their meal. Do yourself a favor and don 't eat here.

My boyfriend took me here for my birthday. The ambiance is super fitting for a date night. I ordered the gumbo but it was amazing!!!! I never had gumbo taste this good. We also ordered the oysters for an appetizer and a glass of wine. I was super stuffed since the portions were huge but I have to come back to try more of their entrees

Gary, the “Manager” is the direct result of this poor review. After driving over 100 miles to have dinner with my family, we decided on this restaurant for some nice atmosphere and quality food. Though our wait staff was friendly, and it was somewhat understandable that the main special (catch of the day) wasn’t available due to running out 2 days ago.. All three of our steaks and meals were cooked the opposite of what was ordered. For the prices, it’s assumed there would be very few issues, not the case at all. As we told the waiter, he himself came back and relayed that the manager was willing to take 30% off one of the meals. It wasn’t until we requested the manager that he came over in a very inappropriate attitude and began to make excuses for the chef. Instead of apologizing and making it right for us, Gary continued to argue and fight with us that the meal is usually cooked properly, and he would take something off the check. When I requested my overcooked steak be taken off the bill, Gary once again argued and said he would only discount the steak. It was so upsetting his ignorance and lack of professionalism, that I told him to simply take the steak away because I wasn’t going to eat it. Gary said “awesome” and walked the meal away. I then and there lost my appetite and was so upset by Gary’s terrible treatment that I immediately got up and left the restaurant. I wasn’t willing to spend another second at this place, and the customers around our table were visibly upset by the situation they had to witness as well. Congratulations, Gary you’ve lost us as customers for life, and earned this review. Hopefully you treat visiting customers better in the future. Terrible.
