Oystercatcher Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Isle of Palms

My wife and I recently enjoyed a quick staycation at Wild Dunes Resort and made a reservation at the Oyster Catcher. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by James and Georgia, and they were absolutely phenomenal. Their warm welcome, upbeat energy, and amazing personalities truly set the tone for a fantastic night.

We were also fortunate to meet Christina, who I believe is the assistant manager, and she was absolutely wonderful. She checked on us several times throughout the evening and made sure everything was going smoothly. Her kindness and attention to detail really stood out and added so much to our experience.

Our server Kendall was nothing short of incredible. From start to finish, she was spot on. We had such a great conversation and learned that she works there during the summers. The Oyster Catcher is extremely lucky to have someone like her. She was sweet, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect.

A huge shout out to the chef as well. The food was amazing. We had the skirt steak, potatoes, Caesar salad, and fried oysters. Every dish was packed with flavor and beautifully prepared.

Lastly, hats off to the bartenders who made the old fashioneds spot on. Their skill and care in crafting each cocktail were the perfect finishing touch to an exceptional evening.

Thank you so much to the entire team for making our staycation so memorable. We will absolutely be coming back just for another meal at the Oyster Catcher. Five stars are not enough. Everyone we met was truly outstanding and we are so grateful for the incredible...

Very disappointed. For our party of 6, we ordered the $216 seafood tower, two “specials” of scallops, and an order of grilled oysters.

Where to begin. The seafood tower was VERY overpriced. The oysters weren’t fresh- they had a fishy taste. The crab legs had no sweetness whatsoever- it seems that the chef slathered on a huge amount of mayonnaise to hide the fact that the crab legs weren’t fresh.

The two scallop specials we ordered were $39 a piece, they were flavorful but the portions were TINY. Each plate has 3 oysters.

The grilled oysters were just ‘meh’. They weren’t as bad as the other food was outright, but they just weren’t memorable in any way. No memorable flavor to them.

The pricing on the menu was also deceptive- the menu listed the seafood tower as $108. Our server then told us that was a “typo” and it was actually $180. Which was fine with us, mistakes happen. But after ten minutes, our server came back to tell us the price was now $216. How does a menu item suddenly double in price? Our waitress told us she had been working there for over a year, and that she was also unaware of any price changes.

We ended up paying a total of $550, and we all walked away FAMISHED.

The only positive of the experience was that we had a very attentive server, Halie and...

We started with the Shuck and Savor experience. Chef Thalita Smith and Manager Sydney were amazing in explaining the oysters, the procurement process, and the wine in pairing with them. We learned so much!

Then we went for dinner and were amazed again! Manager Dana was able to seat us right away. She was so attentive! Chef Thalita is so good at what she does! She was so personable and knowledgeable. Our server, Nick was so on top of things and his demeanor made our whole experience amazing! By the way - his chocolate milk made our son smile!

The oysters were amazing, the Asian salad was so refreshing, the kids chicken strips for our son were huge, and the dessert-ASTOUNDING!

Thank you! We can’t wait to...
