Midtown Oyster Bar Newport Reviews
My mom and I ate at Midtown oyster bar.
I had the lobster roll while my mom had the halibut. The lobster roll was the best I've ever had! It was warm, buttery, and the lobster was perfectly cooked. I should mention that I had (warm) lobster rolls at three different restaurants this we
Fantastic food, great atmosphere & service
We loved this place - everything about it. We grazed on appetizers, starting with oysters. A great selection, with all varieties local (RI & MA) except for two. Wonderful. A daily special was diced raw tuna and avocado with citrus soy sauce serv
Delish dinner
We had one of our best meals at the Midtown Oyster Bar, during out two week road trip around New England. Tuesday evening and only a few customers. The dining area on the first floor was cozy. Truly enjoyed our linguini with clams and braised sho

No reservation available at 5 PM When I called for a reservation, I was told I had to come at 4:15 or 7:45 pm and they were totally booked ... not the case see the attached photo. It was empty for the entire time and as we leave at 5:30 there's

I normally don't go out of my way to leave bad reviews, but this experience was truly disappointing. We dined in on 10/17/25 in the evening, and our server- I believe her name was Courtney (curly blonde hair, wearing a headband), provided some o

I'm lending the benefit of the doubt because it seemed to be a busy day. Pros: The cod chowder was great! Best $9 spent. Ginger beer was presented like a mocktail for less than 4 bucks Cons: service took forever. The baked cod was dry and ti

When we got here, we had to wait for about 30 minutes for a table since their reservation system was messed up, but things were great as soon as we were seated. I got the wicked shrimp appetizer and it was a HIT at the table.We literally finished it
Midtown oyster
Wonderful experience! Great atmosphere! Great food and fresh oysters! Highlight of the night was meeting Krystle! Her warmth and hospitality was second to none! Highly recommend checking this restaurant out!
Great food & attentive staff, nice views from the roof!
Before our first trip to Newport I checked out restaurant reviews on Yelp & Tripadvisor, this restaurant got on my list. We sat outside up on the roof, nice breeze, views. Our orders were 3 Lobster rolls & fish tacos. All excellent, everyone

Great Oysters, Fish and Chips and Ambiance
We sat outside on the upper deck. Beautiful weather and great ambiance. We tried three or four different types of raw oysters, which were all delicious. The descriptions of the oysters on the menu were spot on and you could really identify the oys
We found this Wonderful oyster spot with a great variety
We found this Wonderful oyster spot with a great variety for lunch. We discovered it during a girls trip and enjoyed all the food offerings. The lobster rolls had great flavor, lots of meat, and buttery bread. I'd skip the upgraded truffle fries
Very good though the linguine with clam sauce was lacking
Very good though the linguine with clam sauce was lacking flavor as the sauce was too thin. The clam sauce needs to be reduced before adding the clams so the flavor can intensify also there was onions not garlic in the dish. Just not great. While th
Visited my friend in Newport and came here for lunch.
It was incredible. I got the mahi mahi and she got the lobster roll. There was not wait because they had 3 floors. Service was good. Drinks and food were great.
Great location and delicious food!
Beautiful setting and awesome food and drinks. From the bloody mary to fish dip to lobster roll, I highly recommend! Service was great as well!
Wow, what a great place! We had a sampling of oysters that
Wow, what a great place! We had a sampling of oysters that were local. Super fresh and a great presentation. I had the swordfish, maybe the best I have had. The interior was classy but relaxed. Our waitress was super. If I am back here I will eat her
What an excellent place! Certainly not your typical tourist
What an excellent place! Certainly not your typical tourist trap restaurant, of which there are many in Newport. This is a real deal, true to form, oyster bar. I came here to celebrate commissioning as a US Naval officer and was presented with a wond
I wish 0 stars was an option.
Maybe we came on an "off" night, but the food was well below average and after seeing all the good reviews our party was disappointed. The tuna poke bowl was a small amount of fish, unseasoned, on top of bland rice. No sauce or added topp
Fresh oysters and easy to get into!
Walked into MOB around 6pm on a Saturday and were happy to be able to sit upstairs on the outside patio during sunset. Was impressed with the selection and freshness of their oysters. Also tried salmon poke and tuna tacos -- fish was all fresh but th

10/10 recommend the rum speciality drink -- so smooth yet strong. However the spicy margarita is very sour and tart. The fisherman's stew was so flavorful and filling (great portion size). The atmosphere was spacious and airy. Friendly service a
A great choice!
The seafood chowder is outstanding. We also enjoyed swordfish abs beet salad with grilled shrimp. Everything, including the hamburger, was done exactly as ordered.

Came in a very large group and this place gets a star for accommodating us. That being said, I didn't personally enjoy my tuna tacos. As some reviewers mentioned, it's relatively tasteless but with a fair amount of tuna. On another note,
Probs not worth it for how bad the service.
Food and drinks are fine. The manager was kind of aggressive, which was odd. Outside is nice but inside is dingy.

Inconsistent experiences
Our experiences at Midtown Oyster Bar haven't been consistent. The place itself is attractive with high ceilings and plenty of windows on the second floor. The outdoor area is also pleasant. The food is good, but there isn't a wide range
Bland
We started with octopus, pork belly, and Brussel sprouts. All the appetizers were fantastic and Brussels were some of the best I’ve ever had. The meal went downhill with the entrees. I got the cod and tried three other peoples entrees. They all had
Good Eats and Drinks in a Friendly and Convenient Setting
Nice nautical themed seafood restaurant with full bar conveniently located on the main tourist street in Newport. Selection of seafood and standard starters and entrées. Food was ample and served by a cheerful and friendly staff. French Onion sou
Scarlett was an OUTSTANDING Server
Scarlett was an excellent server. This was our first meal in Newport RI and it was superb!! Thank you, Scarlett, for your attentiveness and seamless service. We enjoyed our meal and your pleasant personality..
Great raw oysters and clam chowder!
If you love oysters, this is the place to go. In fact, my sister and I visited twice, both times just for me to have a platter of their aw oysters. They are very fresh and the selection changes, based on what was available that morning. The clam chow
A true oyster bar in the middle of Newport
I have eaten lunch here multiple times. They are always consistent. They typically have 8 or more types of oysters to choose from and they are always fresh and very tasty in my experience. The hot lobster roll is also excellent . They are not cheap ,
A little surprised…canned asparagus
I was a little disappointed in my experience here. Maybe I had higher expectations than I should have. I visited during restaurant week. I did the price fix menu. The appetizer of oysters and shrimp was good. The entrée is where I ran into trouble.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Midtown Oyster Bar Newport at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Midtown Oyster Bar Newport page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* CoolestCough45, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* CoolestCough45 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to CoolestCough45 for any questions Peter may have as CoolestCough45 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* CoolestCough45 now uses their connections at Midtown Oyster Bar Newport to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If CoolestCough45 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, CoolestCough45 receives the $200 reward which is credited to CoolestCough45's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Midtown Oyster Bar Newport!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
