Came here during the lunch special so the price was quite reasonable-yay. I ordered the shellfish linguini which I thought was nicely cooked and had a good portion of mussels and pipis. Customer service was also good.
Had a 70th birthday luncheon at Glen Waverley in March 2017. Excellent!!! All who attended enjoyed the set menu selection, wines and host Steve provided wonderful service. In fact, our guests are still commenting on the wonderful seafood, venue and service.
We continue to enjoy Richmond Oysters Glen Waverley & Oakleigh.

We had a very pleasant time at Richmond Oysters for a family dinner. We were shown to a table deep in the restaurant, right next to the impressive fish cabinet! The restaurant itself is sleek and the staff are quite knowledgeable. The menu is extensive - with so many delicious seafood choices we definitely took our time with selecting! Everything was cooked very well - my whole fried baby snapper was almost fun to eat! Would highly recommend the ceviche - we had salmon and tuna which was refreshing. Unfortunately we were a bit disappointed by the size of the portions in the prawn dishes. Next time we must try the decadent sounding seafood platters!
We decided to try Richmond oysters after hearing good things about this place and we also had an entertainment book voucher, so that was an added bonus! We arrived quite late on a Friday night (around 8.30-9) and the restaurant was still quite busy. We ordered the paella and clam chowder with hand cut chips. The chowder had great flavours however there were clams with shells (not sure if this is the norm) but some shells had broken and can be loose in the soup which made it an unpleasant experience to eat. My partner and I thought the paella was great as well as the chips (note: the hand cut chips are very thick!). Next time we will try the fish n chips!
Warm evening decided to sit outside. First impressions are lasting ones..... sticky table. Don't you hate that. Come on guys it's not an ice cream parlor on the Gold Coast.
Kicked off with the oysters how could you dine a a place with oysters in its name and not try them.
Linguini with crab meat for a main. Nothing jumped out at me to come running back for a second visit but with that said the area is hot with choices on where to eat.
Came here for dinner on a Friday night and we are able to grab a table anywhere we wanted as the restaurant was not busy.
Service: 5/5 it was impeccable the moment we stepped in to the moment we left
Atmosphere: clean, new, spacious and comfortable (no loud music thank God)
Food: 8 natural Pacific oysters with all the sauces, mussel pot, clam chowder and crab linguine. All the dishes were a standout, they all tasted amazing!! Serving sizes were acceptable too. But EXCEPT the linguine. Without prejudice, we found the linguine to be too average with no flavour at all (bland). It was too boring.
Even though the linguine was a let down, we will without a doubt return soon to try the other dishes.
Went for lunch with friends. Awesome experiences there. Excellent service! Fresh seafood,good coffee! Highly recommended. Definitely will go there again.
The oyster and lobster are fresh and yummy. Sashimi is not right with the way they cut and the dressing. The squid ink risotto is delicious too. Service (Michael) is extraordinary which made it a memorable dinner
Richmond Oyster Bar Glen Waverley is really very good. We found the food to be beautifully fresh and the staff were helpful and informative.
Soft shell crab, mussel pot, oysters, prawns and snapper were all extremely tasty.
Only criticism would be that the hard surface finishes of the restaurant tend to make it noisy, but I would very happily eat there again.

This is quality Australian seafood with classy service. Baulk at the price only if you are fine with overfished and imported seafood, I'd rather pay a bit more here knowing I can choose sustainable . The menu at Richmond Oysters (in Glen Waverley) shows you where this fresher-than-fresh seafood comes from. On the menu you can find an easy-to-read break down of where the fish comes from - apart from a couple of NZ options you're looking at Aus from Albany (Western Rock Lobster) to Wallis Lake (Sydney Rock Oysters) and plenty of Vic fishies as well.
Getting to Glen Waverley is a bit easier for us these days than a trip to Richmond, and parking here is...well it *is* easier too, though on a Sunday night Kingsway was humming.
A pre-Saint Valentine's dinner just The Lovely Man and myself, a Seafood Platter seemed the only way to go. We added to this a whole crayfish ('Lobster') which seemed very good value for a special occasion at $80.00. The Seafood Platter is $158.00 and was, in reality enough for two, and a great price. Highlights were the Bass Strait Scallops and the Local Prawn Cutlets; real, delicate scallops not the water-pumped imports - and with their roe attached, perfectly cooked, and perfectly bouncy prawns with a drinkable sauce (yes I did) each served in a scallop half shell - three scallops each and two prawns each. A half a bug each with a great, fresh, salsa verde and the grilled fish of the day (Snapper today) were perfectly cooked and tasting of themselves (and a touch of smoke from the grill with the fish).
The XO sauce that we had with one of half of the cray was all you would expect - and yet - philistines we may be - the other half we had, 'natural' with just a little caviar was our favourite - can't beat mother nature's perfection! Great chips, yummy saffron aioli that I may have dunked more than just chips in.
The oysters were brilliant, had one in a Bloody Mary Shot (that was fun), O/H had a half a doz 'New Kilpatrick' he'd have again, thanks to the house-made BBQ sauce and there was an amazing pineapple and rum granita that 'magicked' my oysters to something out of this world, though the house sauce was nice too.
I shouldn't have had room for dessert - yes we ordered the extra oysters after the seafood platter - which doesn't sound so bad except that I didn't even mention there was also salmon, s & p calamari, anchovy croutons (great), mussle pot, tempura soft shell crab - and then more. It was all delicious. The squid ink arancini were not on the menu though, and the arancini we had in their place - we were unsure of for the first, but the second we grew to like. I felt there was a touch of marzipan flavour about them, weird (me), but there you have it, they weren't 'bad' and every single piece of seafood was perfectly cooked.
So in spite of that, I had dessert while he had a (very good) coffee - I often ask how his coffee is and he will say it's 'ok' - that he volunteered the information that it's good coffee means it's really good! Right, so the Golden Gaytime, how could I go past. Topped with Persian fairy floss, this was all you could hope, creamy, nutty, honeycombey...yummier than its namesake and a perfect way to end the meal.
Again, service is tops here, quality of seafood is too - get what you pay for I recon. Finally great, classy seafood closer to home. Though I bet the fish and chips here are winners too.*Tip, consider being a member of the Oyster Club for future discounts.
great oysters, fantastic service and the snapper... was delicious. a great venue for fresh fish and seafood and as a gathering for friends with function room...bonus
Walked in around 9.15 and was pleasantly surprised by the service. Most places wouldn't take walk ins 15 minutes prior to closing, but the service was excellent.
Seafood was very fresh and the waitress knew the menu well enough to recommend dishes and portion sizes.
Service was very good. We ordered Seafood Platter, was plenty for 2 of us and you got good variety. Expensive but at the end of the days Seafood is expensive
Decided to try this new seafood joint, 6 of us celebrated a friends birthday.
admittedly the birthday boy wasnt a big seafood fan.
We had a selection of oysters as an entree which was fanatastic two types . Both were excellent, they tasted slightly different but hard to explain.
Mains we had a few serves of fish including toothfish which we had never heard of. Waiter explained the origin and flavour and pros/cons of it so we decided try. It was different to the normal fish we have tried. All our mains were really fresh seafood and some nice sides too.
Fabulous service by our waiter throughout, friendly and professional, even remembered our different types of water continuously topped up.
The bartenders Espresso Martinis were all awesome! nice and strong too.
This is a great place for all your seafood needs!
Took my husband to lunch at Richmond Oysters and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The staff were welcoming, topped up my water throughout the service and we enjoyed 2 courses of delicious food (calamari and soft shell crab) I'd definitely go back again!
Group of us visited the other night, greeted happily despite no reservation, we were not expecting to get a table. Waiter explained the specials and even gave us a sample of the wine we wanted. We opted to try the special scallops and they were amazing!! We ended up having a platter and Barramundi and a side. The platter was fresh and great value. The barramundi was a good size and tasted super fresh. One of the sides came a bit late but that was the only drawback.
One of the most freshest seafood meals I ve had plus the most professional waiter i can remember. Golden gaytime dessert reminded me of my childhood and was very good. Will be back again!
A bit pricey but it was a good night
Richmond oysters Glen Waverley is one of the best seafood
restaurants I’ve been to and I’ve eaten at the Atlantic and Water-Front and the
other two Richmond Oysters shops.
Big table of us tonight had lots of different things to
share and it was amazing I highly recommend it. The garlic prawns was amazing
the calamari was just heaven and my steak was great. For a seafood venue the
quality of the steak was comparable to that steak place down the road I loved
the bread on the bread board and the service and wine was great I will be back definitely.
didn't try any desserts but the golden gay time looked great.
First service, absolutely top class! We were seated outside and our glasses were always full and dirty plates taken away quickly! The food were also delicious and seafood FRESH! I do not like cook fish as I hate the stinky fishy smell, But had cooked salmon in the pasta and not a slight hint of fishy smell. Definitely will go back to share a platter.
After visiting all three i must say this one is the most interesting. The flavours are very Asian which is great as i love asian food! We had the snapper fried with xo the slaw on top was amazing the oysters where super fresh and the tuna on our mixed grill was to die for as was the eye fillet covered in herb butter. The service on the other hand needs work for the prices they charge they need to up the ante. on a number of occasions i had to ask for a refill and for the amount we spent i thought for sure we would have been looked after much better than that. in all i will say if you want good food go to Glen Waverley if you want great service go to Oakleigh and if your after atomsphere then Richmond is for you they are all great venues but they all fail to deliver in one spot or another. I will say it's worth the journey if you can afford it.
One time I went and had the atlantic salmon and tonight I had the mussel pot. Honestly it was delicious... can not complain! I have had mussel pots from cheaper places and felt the same though, similar to the salmon so that is the only reason I would not give it a 5! But overall the staff were EXCELLENT and the new venue is beautiful!! So good that it's on Kingsway 😍
I have been to richmond oysters twice now the first time we came had the fish and chips and it was well fish and chips was very nice and fresh, batter was very crispy and flakey. We also had the oysters angasi natural loved them.
Second time round we had the live scallops and the special pasta with lobster and we also shared a whole snapper with xo sauce and it was to die for. service is charming. we will return

Ok so I've been to all three of the Richmond Oysters but this has got to be the best so far I thought Oakleigh was a step up but this is different and very cool looking venue. Glen Waverley I think out of the three is so similar to Richmond in a way but different in taste and service is great. Il start with the food it was fast and tasted amazing the chowder is probably my favourite at the Glen Waverley store and the scampi was seriously amazing but maybe a little too much $$ for the area but id still order it again just to revisit the flavours of the herb butter and cucumber. We also had the lobster with XO with our seafood platter and seriously was one of the best XO sauces I've tried for years, they say the chef makes it but all places tend to say things are home made. Everything on the platter was cooked to perfection. I will say one thing its very Asian influenced this menu!! But I guess it is in the middle of china town Glen Waverley. The service is fast and full of energy I love the way Richmond Oysters are not your typical stale staff that just come to do the job and go home our waiter had stories and all sorts to tell us and was very entertaining. The wine was great (not that Richmond Oysters have anything to do with wine) as always and the company was even better.
I have never been a fan of seafood for as long as I remember as I can barely tolerate fishy odours or the thought of having to work my way around fine bones to get a decent feed. My parents would be familiar with this picky habit of mine and often enough, resort to punishing me should I reject my meals.
This joint was a great place to dine in. Reading through the comments, we decided not to order the fish sashimi and go for the "Seafood Platter" instead. The seafood were fresh and the hot food served with the platter was excellent. The portion is generous for its price compared to your other usual fancy dining restaurants. Service was impeccable too. I would definitely come back.
Good food, nice restaurant. We had a 2-for-1 voucher deal, good value. Set entrees, choice of 5 mains, choice of any dessert, glass of wine. We had paella and linguini. Good portions and enjoyable. Waiters are friendly enough and helpful.
Very satisfied with quality and quantity of food and friendly service. Seafood Grazer offered a nice selection of dishes to share, the paella was absolutely delicious, and we left the restaurant with large bellies. Would definitely come again.
Delicious. I don't know what the previous reviewer is talking about. Absolutely delightful meal. Fantastic service. My parents enjoyed themselves and so did I. :):) will be back!
Good quality seafood and grills well cooked. Prices are about right for the quality/quantity. Service was friendly and competent but quite slow at times.
