Oyster Society

"One of the best dining experiences I've ever had! Everything was delicious and the atmosphere was amazing. Our service was top notch as will definitely be back! Between Beaunuts and now Oyster Society, the owner of these restaurants serves the best of every meal of the day!"

"Upon arrival, our party of 6 was split due to seating issues. When we were sat, it was evident that two tables could had been placed together but whatever. We joined the dining area and behold, a table of 8 sitting together. Why we could not have that courtesy, I’m not sure. To start the evening, they served squid ink biscuits, 1 sq in, per guest. It was served with an herb candle that would never stay lit. Had to scoop and spread it with a knife. No big deal. Service was very friendly. To begin my order, I got two appetizers; the ham biscuits and the fried oysters. Sadly, the ham biscuits were served on extremely hard bread which is such a disappointment to have to stop eating and complain. Being in the restaurant industry for over 20 years, I know things happen but something like that is plain kitchen laziness. Their hands are on every component of the dish so I was surprised that would even happen in this “elevated” restaurant. The kitchen did send out another batch and they were taken off my bill. The fried oysters were tasty but tiny. The pickled dill just didn’t play well with the flavor of the oysters. The dessert was very underwhelming, with no real rhyme or reason behind it. This experience was during the soft opening so I’m sure there are kinks to be worked out. I left pretty disappointed."

"We sat at the bar and the food and drinks were spectacular and well thought out. The atmosphere was welcoming and quirky. It’s evident that a lot of love and skill went in to the menu and we will be back. We had a wonderful experience and Petersburg is lucky to have this gem of a restaurant!"

"Absolutely blown away after our lunch here today! The candle butter with the bread was definitely the highlight! Our waiter was so nice and seemed really passionate about the food/drinks, and the atmosphere here is top notch. Honestly, for what you get, the prices here can’t be matched. Maybe it is because I am from out of state and this food would have been double where I live? but it’s amazing. As a vegetarian, I was nervous I wouldn’t find much I could eat, but that definitely wasn’t the case at all. If you’re planning on coming here, just do it already!"

"Everything was absolutely amazing. Drinks, food, service, atmosphere. Everything was spectacular. Most intelligent drink menu I've seen in my 20 years in the culinary industry. The food was well thought out, beautifully presented and most importantly absolutely Delicious. I'd recommend this place to everyone and any one I know.... Even people I don't know."
