Beautiful location on the water, lovely to watch a summer sunset at one of their many outdoor tables. We were at one of those outdoor tables enjoying some solid live music, and so we would go to the indoor bars to refill our drinks - and the bar staff was awesome. Patient with questions, helpful with quick tastings of wines or beers, and the place was decent on drink prices - which you don't see every day! We truly enjoyed the wonderful atmosphere while enjoying the music. When it was time for our meal we really enjoyed ourselves - our group got a variety of dishes and all were delicious. Great service too!

What a lovely restaurant! Two colleagues and I had a fantastic dinner here, the restaurant had all the holiday decor out and sits on the water. Not sure how long they've been here but it's clear they're very popular. We had a nice table by the back window with a little view of the boats and dock. We did some nice craft cocktails and coconut shrimp for an appetizer. Two of us ordered the lobster rigatoni and one of us the seafood Fra Diavolo. The portions are very hearty, and they do NOT skimp on the lobster! We saved room for the bread pudding (wow!) and glad we did. Service was great and super attentive. Love this place and if I'm ever back in the area would not hesitate for a round 2!

Yah Babee... this place is great... this well known restaurant has a totally cool vibe, ambiance and style to the "nines"... wonderful staff... impressive menu and great food! The portions are satisfying and you won't walk away hungry... the quality is exceptional and... the Oar is great! Now... this place is not inexpensive... BUT... the Oar is an excellent value... "service-quality-price" equals a lovely experience... GO THERE! NOW, TO BE CLEAR... I'M NOT A RELATIVE OF THE OWNER... MY KIDS DON'T WORK THERE AND NO ONE PAID ME FOR THIS RECOMMENDATION! I'm a senior citizen that watches their Pennys and knows the difference between okay and great! Give 'em a try... you won't be disappointed1!

Great night as usual at the Oar. Started with the awesome oysters Rockefeller which is always spot on. Caesar salad, beautiful scallop appetizer both very good. Then the 8oz filet, always cooked perfectly followed with the Chilean sea bass which was amazing. The entire dinner experience was coordinated with our great bartender Victoria and our amazing waitress Tina which totally encompassed the dining experience. Please don't miss out and go have an awesome dinner at The Oar Restaurant.

Make The Oar House part of your staycation. Enjoy a delicious dinner overlooking the water and docks. The waitstaff is friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. The nautical vibe is calming. Enjoy live music and dance the night away!

I absolutely love this lowkey gem! The food was so delicious , the view was amazing, the server was super kind even after asking to move cause we were so cold! The service was quick and outstanding. Came for a weekend visit and I left loving this place!

A whole bunch of us came here for happy hour and the establishment was very accommodating. Tina and Veronica killed it at the bar inside! The amount of drinks they were pushing out looked like a work of art. They were professional and courteous. I went with the coconut margarita and it was delicious!! Would definitely order again. For food, I ordered a tuna poke bowl. I was very happy to see that they provide the tuna raw and not seared. I also ordered the PEI mussels and they were good. Their happy hour is reasonably priced. Can't wait to go back and try dinner.

The Oar has been around for a long time and I can say without hesitation that not only has it gotten better over time. I went on a recent late Saturday afternoon with a friend. Was a bit surprised that they only had valet service for parking, but maybe it was do to a party in the catering area. It was free & the valet Chris was very nice & funny. We chose to sit outside on deck, there is an inside bar & seating area too, overlooking the boat marina as it was a lovely sunny day. We were seated immediately and our waitress took a drink order right away. They have a good selection of beer & wine by the glass, I'm sure everyone can find something they like. We started with lobster wontons which were filled with a lobster mousse and had two dipping sauces one was ginger and the was sweet maybe plum sauce? There were 4 pieces and were very yummy. My friend got the avocado salad with grilled shrimp. It was a nice portion and she said it was good. I got the Oar burger which seemed to be a take on a smash burger though not too thin as I requested it medium rare and it close to that. It came with bacon, fried onions & your choice of cheese. A good if not really remarkable burger. The Oar Fries however were the STAR of the meal for me. Random cut pieces of potato fried crispy and seasoned, I'm not usually an eat all the fries person but I gobbled up every last one! We did not have dessert so I can't review that, but all in all if you are looking for a really good place to eat, especially on a nice summer day and want to sit outside, I highly recommend the Oar

My boyfriend and I came here for lunch. It was absolutely delicious and I'm mad we never went here prior today! We started with some Riesling. It was very good! For an appetizer we shared calamari. It was so delicious and plentiful! It could have been an entree with how generous the portion was. We liked that it was lightly fried. We also really liked the marinara sauce it was accompanied with. For my entree I chose Ahi Tuna BLT. It was delicious! The ahi tuna had a black pepper taste. Bacon was cooked to perfection. I chose oar chips as my side that were great as well. My boyfriend had the lobster rigatoni. It was so yummy!! I am absolutely ordering it the next time we go. Generous portions of lobster. The sauce was so creamy too. Our sever was Jessica and she was a real rockstar! She didn't rush us and was a great waitress overall. When she first greeted us at the beginning of our meal, she asked us if the music was too loud. Furthermore, when she heard it was our anniversary, she gave us complimentary cheesecake to celebrate. We loved everything about our meal! We cannot wait to return!

As I continue to write up reviews from months past, I honestly almost skipped over The Oar. Now that's totally not because I didn't enjoy my meal, but I didn't take a ton of photos (and that's how I usually remember to pen my belated reviews). Luckily, I had a couple of pics that I'll attach to this four star explanation. You see, this dining experience was back in late July as my wife and I (along with another couple) went here to have a little waterfront meal. I had never been to The Oar, but the other duo had eaten there and their vouching of the place helped in wanting us to go. I mean the view from the patio overlooking boats and waterways was a great way to start things. Our waitress was pretty friendly as well and we began with a round of drinks. You can't go wrong with a crisp Kona beer on a hot summer day, though my wife's mixed drink was nothing special. Luckily, moving on from things that weren't special, we can get into a pretty memorable morsel of food in the lobster rigatoni. This was what I chose to order (after another vouch from the other couple on its superb quality) and it didn't disappoint. The dish had nice chunks of lobster meat accompanied by cherry tomatoes, baby spinach, garlic, and a creamy/oily/truffly sauce. Though not the cheapest endeavor, I was impressed with the tenderness of the lobster and the flavors that balanced out quite nicely. It was definitely something I would consider ordering again. My wife's grilled shrimp and avocado salad was also pretty enjoyable and worked well for that warm summer evening. Overall, The Oar had some great views and friendly service with seasonally tasty main courses (albeit not the cheapest, but that's to be expected). Perhaps their drinks aren't lights out in quality, but if I'm looking for a slightly pricier outdoor summer meal, I could definitely make a case to come to The Oar again at least to eat. And now I'm hungry for some summer vibes...ugh.
