    Overall a great value for seafood selections. Not the very best quality but for the price and the portion size not bad for a family dinner in Reno. Decent wine list at a fair price point. Very friendly staff.

    We are locals and hadn't been to John's Oyster Bar in quite some time. It didn't disappoint, we had the Pan Roast and the Lazy Man Ciopino and they were just as remembered.

    Elsa was very helpful despite busy time being only server on evening of NY's Eve. Her young table helper was good enough to take pictures 📸 including my wife holding lobster 🦞 tail upside down.

    The Oyster Bar restaurant is always good. They have many great items on the menu for under $25. Gumbo, fish & chips, fish tacos, linguine, it’s difficult to choose!

    Unfortunately, the restaurant was shortage of servers due to another server called in. However, the service was quick once the orders were taken care of. The staff were very courteous.

    The Nuggets Oyster Bar has always been one of my favorite restaurants. The food and service are both excellently, friendly and profession. The ambience has always been something I enjoy as I love nautical themes. Also Open table is the only way to go, very easy and efficient.

    Classic menu, big portions, tasty seafood. Very fair priced. The place is old in style and decor but needs a serious cleaning and a little updating

    The restaurant is not reservation based. You stand in line and wait for seating to open to get sat.
