I had the most amazing experience at Park Avenue Oyster Bar & Grill! I actually drove 45 minutes to take my mom to brunch, and it was absolutely worth it. The crab cake Benedict was incredible — perfectly seasoned, fresh, and cooked to perfection. The espresso martini was smooth, rich, and the perfect brunch pairing. The service was truly top-notch — attentive, friendly, and welcoming from start to finish. Such a special experience for us, and I can’t wait to come back! 🌟🍳🍸

Food was delicious. I’ve never ordered soft shell crab before and how it came out was a surprise but once I got over how it looked, it was delicious! The reason for the low rating was the service. We waited about ~45 minutes for our man entrees. With absolutely no update from our server on the status. Totally fine that the kitchen is backed up but a “so sorry for the wait, the kitchen is backed up!” Status update would have been very appreciated. Our water glasses sat in need of a refill for 20 minutes, finally filled after we asked a manager who brought a drink from the bar we had ordered. Aforementioned drink and even our first round took way too long to arrive. Waitress hardly checked on us and only remembered to bring water over much later than our original ask. For these prices, we expect a matching level of service. Despite the delicious food, will most likely not return.

My friend and I came here on a Friday night, and it was incredible! We sat at the bar, and Rebecca was absolutely amazing. We ordered raw and roasted oysters as appetizers, and the shrimp and grits and fried shrimp platter for entrees. Rebecca was knowledgeable about the menu and able to assist us based on our tastes. She also makes SUPERB drinks, and she’s very warm and hospitable, too. I probably talked to her too much lol, but she was so sweet about it and entertained my yapping. There was also a young kid named Isaiah, I believe, helping at the bar and oyster station. He was very friendly, too. It was my first time at Park Ave, but definitely not my last. I actually called my cousin when I left and told her I had to take her there. Between the service, atmosphere, and menu (drinks + food), I genuinely have no complaints. My only regret is not taking pics of the food. The seafood is fresh, btw, and delivered every day. Can’t wait to go back and try other things on the menu. Almost forgot, there was a musician on the upper floor. She sang and played beautifully; I literally thought it was a playlist or radio until Rebecca told me she was a live performer. We didn’t go upstairs, but we could hear her crystal clear on the first floor. Truly can’t say enough good stuff. Check them out if you enjoy good southern food with an elevated atmosphere that still has that charming, familial flair.

This place is wonderful hidden gem! My husband surprise me for my birthday because he knows how much I love oysters! The staff were wonderful; the oysters were fresh on the half shell and not gritty at all! But the food was the star! The hushpuppies were amazing (and this is coming from someone who is not a fan of hushpuppies) 10/10. The calamary was so tender! and the lamb chops with asparagus and whipped sweet potatoes was fantastic!

Good Evening, A busy night they had, which it is always nice to see a restaurant being successful. However, after ordering the crab soup - my throat was burning after eating it. I could only take a few bites of the broth, after having the delicious crab. I brought it up to what I believe was the manager, and he said thank you for telling me I appreciate it. I also let the server know as well. They told me it was probably the sherry vinegar. However, if you see someone with more than half of the bowl left, it is a good inkling to give a few dollars off the meal. A few dollars off doesn't hurt the business in the long run, but can affect if someone is a loyal customer or not. The server also apologized for running behind, as they were down a server. If they were fully staffed, they might've not missed some key details that affected the overall experience. A note to the chef, less vinegar or you will have a lot of burning throats in the future. Either the vinegar needs to be cooked down more, or there needs to be more of a balance in the dish. I know it is hard to take everyone's feedback, but a 10 dollar soup I believe should even be more money for a restaurant with higher priced entrees especially with crab but fix the flavors of the dish. Wishing everyone all the best with the business.
