The grilled cheese is to die for!
Fantastic food! We ordered the chargrilled oysters, all 3 of them and loved them. It was our first time having oysters and it did not disappoint! Clam chowder was just as amazing. Don't get the fries or shishito peppers, both were meh
Located in the Oxbow market, this branch of High Island is always bustling and has the same great seafood you find in the San Francisco location. Great outdoor seating as well as inside around the bar. The clam chowder had a ridiculous amount of fresh clams and the mussels had a light Thai flavor with lemongrass and greens that was delicate and delicious. Plan to pay for the quality, but it's absolutely worth it.
I come here every time I am in Napa. They have a great variety of oysters to choose from and they are always fresh and delicious. Even though they are know for their oysters, they have other items on the menu that are great too. So don’t be afraid to try other items because I promise you won’t be disappointed! They are VERY busy on the weekends year around. So the best time to come would be during the week or right when they open.
Very good oysters. Environment was not so great because of some construction when we were there. A bit pricey for what you get but you don't want to eat cheap raw oysters.
Quick SummaryGood seafood, but this is an inferior location compared to their SF and Marshall locations. Long wait and higher prices, which is typical of Hog Island, but didn't meet the high expectations set forth from their other locationsFood- 4 starsRaw oysters- the oyster selection isn't as great here. Most of their selection is more of the salty and briny flavors, with my favorite being the Chelsea Gems because it was the only oyster that provided additional creaminess/sweetness. Oysters were fresh, but they seemed understaffed as they didn't shuck the oysters as well as their other locationsGrilled oysters- these were good, but were far inferior to the grilled oysters at their Marshall locationMussels- these were good, but would probably just get more oysters in the futureGarlic fries- these were the best dish of the day. Tastes just the same and as great as the other locationsService- 4 starsIt was busy on a holiday weekend and I felt bad for the staff as they appeared understaffed. Pretty long wait for food, but they were friendly throughoutBottom LineGood oysters and food, but have lower expectations as it doesn't compare to the other Hog Island locations
This is a great spot for a quick bite. I really like the patio overlooking Oxbow Commons. The oysters are always great, and they have a nice selection of wines by the glass to go with it.
They have some tasty roasted oysters. I love the Worcestershire sauce one. The servers were nice and helped us take pictures.
I love this spot!! Nice cozy bar with a lovely server who was attentive to our needs. The oysters were extremely fresh and shucked properly. The Manhattan chowder was made a la minuit and brothy light. Grilled oysters were perfectly cooked but lacked the "flavor bomb" affect the grilled oysters had at the SF location I've dined. Overall great experience and closer to home so it is a win!!
Really fresh oysters and sea food. They have a good selection of daily specials and would recommend trying it out. They have really good oysters from the Atlantic and they wete definitely my favorite. The Roasted Octopus was fresh caught and really delicious. A must try for all sea food lovers.
