OYSTER HOUSE REVIEWS

The oyster specials are always amazing. We tried the seafood platter for 2, and found it wasn't as good as their other options, but still delicious nonetheless! Highly recommend this place to anyone who loves oysters, seafood, or just likes a nice vibe.

We simply love this place. Everything is perfection. When we travel to Philly we make it a point to stop by the Oyster House for a quick snack and cocktail to a seafood extravaganza. If you never had a charbroiled oyster they are a must. Along with the rest of the menu. Enjoy.

I’m a big oyster lover and I’ll say this was one of the top 10 freshest oysters I’ve had! My server was great he was really nice and attentive.

RED LOBSTER PHILADELPHIA REVIEWS

I truly enjoyed my birthday at Red Lobster. I love the atmosphere there, it transports me to a different time, it's very nostalgic for me. My server Vivian was great. She provided great service and was very nice and attentive. She made my birthday special, my desert plate was beautiful and she got her coworkers to sing happy birthday for me! The food came out fast and hot and looked exactly like the pictures! I was truly impressed by how friendly all the servers and hosts were. I will definitely be back, thank you for a great time.

I really wish I could give this place more. I came in with my wife on her birthday. I was curious about how its changed with the new guy owning it. I called and spoke to the host Neema. She was so sweet and when I came in I was greeted by the manager. He was a ball of energy. We sat at the bar and when I say that the energy in this place was great even though they were busy. Our bartender Maria was so nice and made sure my wife was happy and Tony was a superman. He was running around talking to ever person and just so smiley. He took time to sit and chat with us which made my wife so happy. Whatever the new guy did he did it well. The food came out and it tasted wonderful and they all surprised my wife with a birthday cake and sang with the WHOLE bar. It was so special. I will be coming back. Such a great time.

Awesome customer service. What was impressive was even with it being light in the dinner room , the energy remain the same. You can't teach that. Great job Danielle (GM)... when I come back ,I hope you team shares the same energy.

OCEAN PRIME REVIEWS

This was my first time at Ocean Prime, and it was one of the best dining experiences. It was my birthday dinner so I was looking forward to great drinks and food. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was perfect for a celebratory meal. Our appetizers of sushi roll and calamari were delicious. The lobster linguini and blackened snapper were a 10/10. Truffle mac and cheese was creamy perfection. The butter cake was the best finale to dinner.

John was an astute gentleman. It was my Fiancée’s birthday and both of our first times. They even created a Happy Birthday Menu! All of the food was top notch and delicious. We will absolutely be back.

Very nice and formal inside, We went during restaurant week so the prices weren't to bad. Food and drinks were amazing.
