The River Oyster - Miami

So good, you almost don't want to leave a review and just keep it to yourself! Everything, from the service, ambiance, prices, wine list and most importantly, the food is so damn good, you just have to visit this spot for a true seafood experience. Oysters on the half shell for happy hour such a great deal. Sharing a few photos from our dinner on Dec 23, 2021

Great food and service! Our favorite dishes were the mushroom crusted grouper served with mashed potatoes. Bread basket was great it consisted of Tex Lex corn bread and sesame white along with olive tapenade. Truffle gnocchi was good too. Serving of pot of mussels was very generous and flavorful!

The River Oyster bar is definitely a place to check out! Our service was nothing short of amazing accommodating for specific dietary needs. We absolutely loved the gazpacho soup and grilled octopus appetizers! Our entrees were amazing as well. We had the gnocchi seared mahi mahi. Would definitely recommend visiting for great ambiance, food service! The only complaint would be that google maps does not have the correct location, therefore it was a bit difficult when trying to locate this restaurant.

Had a pleasant experience sitting at the bar during happy hour on a Wednesday. I was a party of 1 so the bartender did a great job recommending smaller dishes so I could try a few different things off the menu vs. ordering 1 large entree. The oysters are fresh, and they do have some of them on the happy hour menu too- very tasty! I also tried the snapper tartare, which was pretty good for an appetizer to split with a few different folks. The sauce the snapper was in was a bit too tangy for my liking, as a party of 1. The fried cauliflower was delicious- will look to order a fish entree on my next visit, paired with a side of that cauliflower. Highlight of the meal, they have the ingredients to make a Vesper martini- and the bartender knew what it was! (Look it up, its very tasty!

Great location and awesome service. I sat inside for lunch- fresh oysters, goat cheese croquettes that I can only describe as sexy and a mahi sandwich that was so good, 3 other people around me at the bar ordered it. Did I mention some incredibly delicious (but really filling) yucca fries? If I move to Miami (and I hope to in the next year) I like this spot so much I want to get a job here.
