The Curious Oyster - Nottingham

Visited 2.4.23FOOD: 4.5Ordered the Spicy Tempura Shrimp, Ultimate Seafood Egg Rolls, Shrimp Po Boy and the Shrimp and Scallop Pasta and the Crab Rangoon. The food tastes pretty good, I wish the spicy tempura shrimp was actually spicy. It was much more on the sweet side. Everything else was pleasing.AMBIANCE: 5The seating area was small but nicely laid out with a bar in the middle and kitchen in the back.STAFF: 5Robert was our server and he was nice and attentive to detail. Food came out in a timely matter as well.OVERALL 4.8

The food quality has gone down VERY substantially since COVID!!! For example, cream of crab soup use to consist of lump crab meat and now just crab mush mixture. The lobster roll use to be full body and now just claw mixture. The prices however have either increased or remained the same.

Great first time experience. Our server Ash was awesome. The sangria, the egg rolls, The service everything was just awesome.

Food was so SO good. The oysters were plump and very fresh. We had the Star Points and Chincoteagues. My wife got the fried chicken Chesapeake and was raving about it. I had the shrimp and scallop pasta and it was to die for. The drinks were fabulous too! Our servers were incredible. They were kind, upbeat, and made sure we were checked on reasonably. The inside of the restaurant is super adorable! Could not get over the general ambiance. It was quiet, and very quaint. We will definitely be back!

I was on my way to Kobe yesterday when I spotted this place and decided to come here instead. I enjoyed the experience overall. The service was good and the happy hour oysters were great. The Crab Cake was very good and the Fries and Cole Slaw were ok. The food came out cold but it was a tasty meal overall. The **** Mary here is solid. I like a lot of celery flavor and this place delivered. I'd definitely return as I enjoyed the experience.
