A special experience: The Oystercatcher.
From the side street it looks a bit like a burger and beer joint. Step inside and you’ll wonder what’s in store. First taste…you know this place is special.
While the menu remains focused it continues to be a place where anything you order will be an outstanding taste experience. As before, it’s locally sourced and the raw or grilled oysters remain a must have as a starter. Mains range from seafood like halibut and salmon to scallops and smoked duck. Just let your mind wander the menu. Can’t make up you mind? There is an option for a chef’s tasting menu.
Desserts range from carrot cake to beignets but a must have for a first visit is their in house made ice cream(s). After dinner drinks ranged from ports to sauternes to armagnac.
The wine list is mostly Old World focused with a few PNW choices as well. Orange wines…have nothing to do with oranges!…are also available.
There is dining on an outside patio with indoors arrayed around the open kitchen. Reservations recommended if you want to dine inside but the bar is also available for walkins. Remember, it’s a very popular place so plan ahead and make a reservation.
Service is spot on and excellent.
