2 Reviews of Grand Central Oyster Bar in New York ...Write yours here! Under the train station By Suzy O. I love the space that houses this restaurant. Huge tiled arches under the glorious Grand Central Station. The oysters are outrageous but they have other things for those leery of raw seafood. Burgers for one.

If you are a fan of oysters then I suggest you go here. You can eat the oysters right there with lemons and they are just wonderful. The place is huge and since it is near Grand Central the area is always busy. The oysters are fresh and very delicious. First Review!

Pros: food,service Posted 11/08/08 at 10:11pm Excellent... I am in love with this place! We came last week and mixed green salag with beefsteak tomato- - SUPER GOOD! You have to get it when you go! I had the broiled Florida red grouper filet with peekytoe crabm and pancetta eat wine sauce, 5 grain rice and tiramisu and it was AMAZING! My friend had the lobster and it was just as good (but mine was better). I cannot wait to come back! Pros: food,staff,business dinning Posted 10/14/08 at 7:53pm yUMMYYY moderately hung over on a sunday? Well go somewhere else, can't help you. I want the window seat at Grand Central ! You can't have it. Sitting here with the friendly staff, yummy crab, and wine just made my day. Posted 08/11/08 at 11:51am Worst dining experience ever. Dreadful experience. One appetizer did not appear. Mains arrived cold with accompanying dishes (spinach, french fries). We all had ordered fillets of various fish. told the waiter they were cold. He took them away and left the spinach and french fries on the table, presumably to get as cold as the fish was. Back came the main courses. Same pieces of fish that were now hot but so over-cooked they where inedible. Accompanying dishes were by now stone cold. Sent them back to the kitchen. We decided then to complain to the management who it turned out basically couldn't care. Called for the bill which came up with all charges included. Couldn't believe this. Couldn't wait to get out of the place. NYC has sooooo much better to offer than this sad place Pros: Being able to leave the place Cons: The food, the price, the service Posted 06/30/08 at 8:00am THIS PLACE SHOULD BE SWIMMING WITH THE FISHES In NY fresh fish is nothing special. What this place does with it is a crime. The Oyster Bar is a NY institution but sadly its reputation is all based on the past. Today the place is an over-rated, over priced tourist trap. Poor service on top of the poor quality of the food adds insult on top of injury. Hopefully the place will shape up one day and become the treasure it once was. For now though leave it as buried treasure. Cons: poor chefs and even poorer service Posted 06/17/08 at 7:38pm
