Early New Year’s Eve dinner was wonderful. Remy, our waitperson, was sensational. She was attentive , professional and fun!!The food was superb. I had the baked stuffed lobster-actually two, 2lb. Baked stuffed lobsters because a three pounder was not available. It was sublime. The bartender was spectacular-he chatted with my husband about a drink and even went through the process by of to expertly make one. It was a fantastic experience!!

Providence Oyster Bar is a go-to spot for fresh seafood and a lively atmosphere on Federal Hill. The raw bar is a highlight — the oysters are consistently fresh, well-shucked, and nicely varied. Service is generally friendly and attentive, especially during happy hour, which is popular for its oyster specials and upbeat vibe. It can get busy and a bit loud during peak times, but that energy is part of the appeal.
Providence Oyster Bar’s happy hour is one of the best in the city. The buck-a-shuck oysters are fresh and well-shucked, and the discounted appetizers make it easy to enjoy quality seafood at a great value.
Overall, it’s a reliable choice for seafood lovers looking for quality oysters, good drinks, and a fun dining experience in Providence.

Went for Valentine’s Day weekend and it was great! We were ~5 minutes late for our reservation and got seated immediately. We ordered some of the appy hour items and loooooved them. When we ordered the waitress asked if we were splitting the dishes (we were) so she had the kitchen plate them in two half servings. She was fantastic and we will absolutely come back 🙂 & the raspberry sorbet was amaaaaazing!

What a great and delicious find. As turned out, we visited during the happy hour which included a pretty big selection. We got different types of oysters, sushi, clams, and the most amazing calamari (we even got a second order to go). Everything was fresh and really tasty. Service was friendly and good. Would definitely recommend and would come back if back to Providence.

Remi was an amazing server! She was attentive without being overbearing, incredibly friendly, and made the entire experience feel effortless. Her menu recommendations were spot-on and really elevated our meal. She checked in at all the right moments and genuinely made us feel taken care of. You can tell she truly cares about her guests. We’ll absolutely be asking for Remi again, she made our night!

Providence Oyster Bar —no crumbs left behind!
Before leaving Rhode Island, I had to try a real New England lobster roll, and let me tell you — Providence Oyster Bar did not miss a beat! The lobster roll (hot and buttered, of course) was fresh-fresh — sweet, tender, buttery perfection on a toasted bun. I’m not saying I enjoyed it, but my empty plate said it all.
Special shoutout to our amazing waitress, Joy, who lived up to her name — friendly, attentive, and full of great recommendations. The service matched the food: excellent!
If you’re in Providence and want a taste of coastal heaven, this is your spot.

On a picturesque Sunday afternoon, we had the pleasure of dining at the Providence Oyster Bar, perfectly timed with the lively street festival taking place just outside. With the roads closed to traffic, the atmosphere was vibrant and inviting, allowing us to enjoy our meal al fresco beneath the comfort of a shaded tent. The ambiance struck an ideal balance. It was bustling with energy from the festival, yet relaxed enough to savor each moment of our lunch.
We began with a half dozen impeccably fresh oysters, brimming with flavor and expertly shucked. This was followed by a warm, hearty bowl of clam chowder that felt like a true taste of coastal New England comfort. The highlight of the meal, however, was their decadent lobster scramble paired with perfectly seasoned home fries; a dish that beautifully showcased the richness and freshness of the region’s seafood.
From start to finish, our experience was elevated by the attentiveness of the staff, whose timely service and warm hospitality made us feel genuinely welcomed. The menu itself is impressively extensive, offering a variety of dishes that cater to every palate, ensuring there’s always something tempting to try.
Our lunch at the Providence Oyster Bar not only surpassed our expectations but also offered a delightful glimpse into what dining on the East Coast is truly all about! Fresh flavors, inviting atmosphere, and gracious service. Without a doubt, we will be returning on our next trip to Rhode Island, eager to relive the experience and discover more of their offerings.

Great place for people who love seafood!
I’ve been coming here for years. Happy hour times are the best (you’ll probably end up paying double your tab price if you come after that) We needed a reservation for the time that we came.
They have the best valet that are super efficient and friendly.
If you’re not a huge seafood person, they have options.. but they aren’t amazing; I would suggest elsewhere unless everyone else wants here.

Providence Oyster Bar is a place I frequent often, and it consistently delivers an exceptional experience. It’s a truly classy, high-end bar and restaurant with a refined atmosphere that still feels warm and welcoming. The food is excellent every time—fresh, well-executed, and thoughtfully prepared—and the service is attentive, cordial, and professional without ever feeling stuffy.
A special mention goes to the bartenders, Adam and Steven. They are outstanding—personable, entertaining, and extremely knowledgeable. They have a way of making everyone feel welcome while maintaining a high level of professionalism, which is not easy to do. Their skill behind the bar and their ability to connect with guests genuinely elevate the entire experience. They are, without question, among the best in the business.
Providence Oyster Bar sets the standard for quality, service, and atmosphere. Whether for a casual drink or a full dining experience, it never disappoints.

We had a wonderful meal. The service was great. We hope to be back soon.
There were a few dishes that we’ve enjoyed at this resturant in the past that are no longer on the menu. I would love it if they put them back in. First, they had a nice seafood fra-diavlo with pasta, and a great Chiopino.
