We have beening eating there for the past couple of months for lunch on a Saturday. 1 doz Oyster's and a Platter. Absoultly yummy BUT last Saturday our fault we left our glasses home we picked the wrong platter to us it wasn't what we liked but we still ate most of it. Service is good and friendly and best of all food is amazing. Thanks we will be back
What a beautiful place to sit on a sunny day watching the world past by. A really good oyster menu with some other options as well. Always has a chilled and grilled special for the month. Great cocktail and wine list with friendly staff. Always a lovely place to catch up for lunch.
Best place on Adelaide to quench your craving for the best oysters in the city. Hands down no other place for oysters I would recommend. If you old school then natural would be perfect & if you are experimental like me then chilli cheese would become your new favourite.
Along the Glenelg pier lays a quaint and lively seafood experience, it is known as the oyster bar. Whether you come here when it’s brooding or a quiet Tuesday night one thing is for certain the seafood is delicious. Our favourite combination of the oysters and king prawns is the best we have ever had. To match its consistently high quality of food it boasts friendly service delivered by a bunch of really good staff. In addition to these, the price is very reasonable and additives such as the live music and happy hours makes it a place full of fun and energy.
Could not recommend this place any more, the oyster bar is 10/10.
Holdfast Shores is like the Docklands of Melbourne. Looks great, beautiful location, but for some reason it doesn't seem to pull in a tone of visitors. There are some gem restaurants however, and Oyster Bar is definitely one of them. The food was spectacular, priced on point, and the service friendly and helpful. Perfect for a sunny day of grazing on the kind of food you only get on special occasions, and a bottle of wine. If you love seafood you definitely won't be disappointed!
It was a hot Tuesday night and the Oyster Bar was very busy.
The good: well, nice oysters in variations.
The not so good: as most bars you have to order at the counter. The oysters were good, however the prawn and avocado salad was very blend, no love.
Would I go again? Yes, for a few oysters and a drink, but not for a dinner as such.
If you like oysters, the Oyster Bar in Glenelg is a must visit in Adelaide. With great surrounding restaurants and picturesque marina views, this place is ideal for a delicious oyster starter or even some tasty cocktails on an adventures night.
I prefer flavoured cooked oysters and this place delivers to my liking with unique options. I personally love the chilly cheese and mornay toppings.
I haven't tried many cocktails here, but the ones I have were rather good. I recommend the Toblerone cocktail for those with a sweet tooth.
The one downfall is the staff. I've had mixed experiences with customer service, but I'm sure I just came in on a bad day.
I have only ate oysters at this bar and have not tried the other seafood options on the menu given that they don't look as appealing as surrounding restaurant main meals.
This is the kind of place I go for an oyster entrée prior to a dinner sitting elsewhere.
Always Happy with the Food and the Atmosphere The entertainment is always great and we love catching up with friends and family there on Wednesday nights
Lovely spot, always a good meal.
Oysters lovely and fresh. Never had an oyster as good as theirs.
Wonderful ambience with friendly and respectful staff always try to make it in when I'm in Adelaide:) Thankyou
Ten years later and the oysters are still divine! Thanks for a great evening of oysters and wine. Your kilpatrick cannot be compared to anywhere on the east coast! Yum!
The Oyster Bar has always been a favorite of ours! We used to come here weekly so the boys could enter the oyster challenge!
Everything we have ever ordered has been really delicious! The oysters are always lovely and fresh.
My favourites would probably have to be the "Atlantic" and "Thai"
The salt and pepper calamari is good too, cooked to perfection it just melts in the mouth!
This place is phonemenal! We ordered a range of fresh oysters, sweet potato chips, arancini and garlic bread and all the food was flawless! The staff are super friendly, the ambience and view is incredible! Will be back again with the kids. Highly recommended!
Great atmosphere and customer service. The staff was nice, attentive and friendly. Salt and Pepper Squid was amazing, one of the best, good batter and serving size. We ordered 2 dozen of Oyster, the Natural one was the best, so fresh. We loved the Atlantic and Thai flavours as well. The Kilpatrick sauce was mediocre sadly, a little too much tomato sauce. Apart from that, it is a great place for drinks, we loved the cocktails. Overall, it was a great experience, would definitely come back!!
We made a booking for dinner but were late by our own fault and our table was given away, however the wait staff were amazing and found us a beautiful table with marina views and had it set in 3 minutes. The food was fresh, delicious and great value.
Everything Oysters here, along with plenty of quality Beer, Wine and Oyster Shots available in a great location overlooking the Holdfast Shores Glenelg Marina, with the Glenelg Foreshore at the back of the Restaurant..
Super fresh and delicious food, staff is very helpful. My only criticism is that it's a bit difficult move a wheelchair around inside but it can be done.
It was good. I went on the weekend and there was a band playing my favourite song. Another ⭐️for that.
The lad who was playing guitar n singing was really talented. Oysters yummy, my friend fell in love with the duck spring rolls!
