While we were waiting, a woman mentioned that there's another place nearby ranked #1 for oysters, and that this was #2. We decided to check out the other place the next day, but they simply couldn't compare to the oysters at Cobalt. They were truly outstanding. We also tried the swordfish, which was delicious (though a bit overcooked). I ordered a combination of oysters—Garlic Parmesan, Creole Casino, and Rockefeller. While they weren't quite as incredible as the fresh oysters, they were still fantastic and definitely worth trying again. We will certainly be returning.

We decided to try that other spot the next day, but they didn’t come close to the oysters at Cobalt. They truly were outstanding. The swordfish was great too, although slightly overcooked; still, it was delicious. I also ordered a trio of baked oysters: Garlic Parmesan, Creole Casino, and Rockefeller. While they weren’t quite as amazing as the fresh oysters, they were still excellent and definitely worth ordering again. We will absolutely be returning!

The view and ambiance were lovely, making it a perfect setting to watch boats go by, and the sight of a great blue heron was an added bonus for my birthday celebration. They even treated me to a complimentary vanilla cupcake, which was wonderful. However, the fresh catch of the day was overcooked and dry, and the shrimp in my pasta lacked flavor and were also overcooked.

The wedge salad my husband had was the best wedge salad either of us has ever eaten! The Firecracker Shrimp appetizer was delicious as well. My husband had the Shrimp FraDiavolo for his meal. I had the Shrimp and Grits with a side of Parmesan Risotto. Both meals were wonderful. My risotto wasamazing!!! Despite my objection, my husband chose for us to sit inside because of the heat. The outside patio is amazingthough!! We were there around midday so it wasn't busy out there yet. I loved how you could watch the boats and the pelicans.It's just an atmosphere that makes you feel good! I would definitely recommend!!!
