Oystercatcher is widely praised (about 90% of reviews) for its exceptional food—especially seafood like oysters, halibut, scallop risotto, and creative tasting menus—with many calling dishes “delicious,” “unique,” and “beautifully prepared.” Service is consistently described as warm, attentive, and accommodating, with staff going out of their way for guests, providing detailed menu explanations, and accommodating dietary restrictions; specific servers and owners are frequently mentioned by name. The ambience is cozy, intimate, and inviting, with highlights including views over the water, thoughtful wine pairings, and a local, small-venue feel—reservations are recommended due to limited seating. A minority (about 10–15%) mention issues such as portion sizes being small for the price, some sauces and flavors being overpowering or “too much,” and the lack of vegetarian entrees. The tasting menu draws strong enthusiasm, but a handful of guests (roughly 5%) felt let down by value or flavor balance.
