Food and service was amazing the noise level was overwhelming. I like that they have live music but I feel like they don’t have to make the music sooo loud that people are yelling across tables to talk

Went for Restaurant week yesterday. Started with the grilled octopus and grilled sea scallops over sautéed greens. Delicious! Our entrees were pork ossobuco and grilled haddock . The haddock was served over a barley risotto. Both dishes were cooked perfectly. Nice sized portions. I almost didn’t order the haddock because it was described in the menu as served with “ barley with black bean, ricotta & mozzarella”, which sounded weird to me. The server’s description was spot on, so I gave it a try. So glad that I did! Should be a regular addition to the menu. Would highly recommend this restaurant if you haven’t already tried it.

My sister and I were there yesterday, Sunday, next to the full bar crowd who were watching a football game but we were able to talk without raising our voices. Our server, Cindy, was lovely and attentive. The food : we shared baked clams and lobster wontons and I had the Manhattan clam chowder all of which were delicious. The cocktails were wonderful also. We look forward to going back again soon.

A fantastic dining experience and night out with friends!! The Oar is always on point and delivers with excellent eats. We started with the baked clams, mussels and fried calamari which were all cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The mains of short ribs, NY strip, filet and chicken pot pie were outstanding and bursting with mouth-watering yumminess. Two thumbs for Nicole who made the evening superb. Her top notch friendly service truly added to our evening. We look forward to our next visit and her company!!!

We had reservations but decided to sit and eat at the bar. Vince the bartender was very courteous and attentive with our drinks and meal to the point he deliciously modified our drinks to perfection. As always, the seafood bisque and onion soup were superb. We had ordered the short rib which was a little on the tough side and could have had a little more gravy to compliment it. Otherwise, a great place located on the water who are great hosts to locals, regulars, and first time diners

What a lovely restaurant! Two colleagues and I had a fantastic dinner here, the restaurant had all the holiday decor out and sits on the water. Not sure how long they’ve been here but it’s clear they’re very popular. We had a nice table by the back window with a little view of the boats and dock. We did some nice craft cocktails and coconut shrimp for an appetizer. Two of us ordered the lobster rigatoni and one of us the seafood Fra Diavolo. The portions are very hearty, and they do NOT skimp on the lobster! We saved room for the bread pudding (wow!) and glad we did. Service was great and super attentive. Love this place and if I’m ever back in the area would not hesitate for a round 2!
