    We ordered 6 different entrees and three appetizers and everything tasted great. RI oysters were great, as was the tuna tartare tacos.

    Always a great experience at Midtown. It's our go to restaurant for special dinners and especially when we have out of town guests. Midtown never disappoints us. My cousin has a serious dairy allergy and it's never a problem at Midtown.

    Definitely the decor and atmosphere you would expect from a coastal restaurant. Great food and service. You can't miss by picking Midtown Oyster House!

    Overall a good experience. Menu is limited. What I saw on their website is not what they were always serving. Would prefer a few more none seafood options or more whitefish like haddock.
