Food was good, service was slow but very apologetic. Unfortunately, they only had one person working the kitchen and a huge party to attend to inside. I will come back to this place eventually because the food was good tasting (not over the moon, but definitely worth another trip) and decently priced for the city. They had some happy hour specials for a Tuesday which brought oysters to $2 or $3 per oyster depending on which ones you wanted. They were out of Kumamotos when our group had arrived, very sad times as those are my favorite! Fanny Bay and Kumai were good alternative (though will never compare).

Service was friendly and good. Overall, we had a good experience. Will be back when the oyster...
Read moreVisited Mission Street Oyster Bar on a Thursday evening. I was the only customer during dinner service, which was concerning.
Positives: Excellent service - server was patient and attentive Happy hour oyster and sangria prices appear reasonable
Negatives: Ordered Hawaiian Ahi Tuna ($26.95) - very basic preparation with seared tuna, broiled vegetables, and potato puree Quality doesn't justify the high dinner pricing 4% surcharge for credit card payments
The food was adequate but nothing special, especially considering the premium price point. For nearly $27 plus credit card fees which ended up almost $30, I expected more creativity and quality in preparation. While the service was genuinely good, the value proposition for dinner is poor. The empty restaurant during dinner hours may indicate others have reached similar...
