I used to make a pilgrimage here on my annual layovers through the city, and have wanted to get back here since moving here a couple years ago. Sadly they were closed during the pandemic and now only open during weekdays, making it difficult. Happily I was finally able get over here last week though. The oysters are good and they have a nice variety though prices have gone up a lot since my last visit. The clam chowder is also a must. It was nice for the nostalgia though and the architecture is iconic. A good place to bring any out of town guests that are oyster lovers.

This is a true gem. It’s a large place with interesting architecture under the entrance to the grand station. I loved the large selection of oysters. So fresh. Yummm.

What a really cool place. Most people would not even know it’s there. My friend has eaten here several times and she insisted we had to go, now I see why!

The Oyster Bar at Grand Central, NYC provided a truly memorable date night experience. The opulent atmosphere, with its tiled walls and vintage ceiling lights, transported me back to the charming 1950s. I began my meal with a half dozen fresh oysters from Maine, although they were slightly smaller than expected. The gazpacho with lobster pieces was a refreshing and delightful choice. The grilled monkfish, as the special of the day, was juicy, succulent, and bursting with flavor. I couldn’t resist sampling my partner’s New England-style clam chowder, which was creamy and rich. I look forward to returning for another lovely date night, this time dining at the bar counters and enjoying the experience of watching the skilled shucking of fresh oysters.

Definitely an authentic place. Seems to be a true New Yorker hanging out spot. Quite a selection of various oysters and fish. I would not say it is a wow experience in terms of the taste and presentation, it is quite average. I had higher expectations. But hey, probably worth checking out for yourself once.

Top food! We really loved it. The best oysters in our opinion were from British Columbia (Fanny Bay) and we tasted a lot of different ones.

An absolute must visit while you’re in New York. They have the freshest and best tasting oyster on the island and the selection to choose from is crazy. The server we had was a lady who had worked there for several years and was able to help us pick which oysters to choose to get a good range of flavours and textures. Service was amazing and was such a coincidence that she had served a famous Korean actor in a show I watched to discover the place. I’ve never had such creamy or sweet or briny oyster before. I went to an oyster bar near the Hudson River later while I was in New York and it wasn’t nearly as good.

This is not a pretentious snooty type of restaurant. This is a beautiful historic landmark underneath another historic landmark. It seems like a wonderfully maintained facility that serves up fresh quality seafood. Lobster, oysters, fish, clams, shrimp, etc, is all available to diners delight.

The Grand Central Oyster Bar is epic! If you are in Gran Central Station then this restaurant is a must-go place to have lunch/dinner. The seafood is so fresh and the atmosphere is so unique. Not sure the history but this place feels like it’s been around for many, many decades. I loved it here.
