Rock and Rye Oyster House

Always fresh oysters, creative non-alcoholic drinks, delicious fare, and very friendly service. Comfy outdoor balcony seating in nice weather. Had the cauliflower, polenta, & mushroom main. So good! And noticed you could buy a bottle of Chateau Montelena chardonnay. (Watch the movie Bottle Shock.)

Simply put, one of the BEST meals in my life. From the appetizer of seared peppers with sesame, tomatoes with cheese and bread to a SIMPLY SENSATIONAL oyster offering including the Rockefeller, pan fried and then one with mushroom and crust......wow! Dessert of the pannacotta and the chocolate torte was unbelievable! Our young server, so sincere and anxious to please us (and surrounding tables) was delightful! An amazing dining experience for $100 including a wine and a draft beer! The outside deck environment, charming, reminded me of eating in Italy.

If your in the mood for oysters, clams, great ambiance, outdoor or indoor seating and from the hostess to the wait staff, nothing but professional and attentive dinning, THIS is your place. Tends to be busy on the weekends, but WORTH THE WAIT if you have the time. Highly recommend trying all the oysters on the menu and starting the clams. Shellfish is always an interesting topic, but this restaurant gets it PERFECTLY!!! Wait staff was something to metion also, they give you time to make decisions, converse with friends and family, yet are always "keeping the water full" Outstanding all around, highly recommend in the B-ham downtown area!!!

Good food at a reasonable price. Wine not so much. $12 for a glass of Sauvignon Blanc is criminal. The HH mussels were very good. The corn and clam chowder was okay, but you get the feeling they are trying to stretch out the clam chowder with filler. The scallops were good. Dessert selection was small and not appealing. The back patio is nice, but it overlooks an alley filled with dumpsters. Service was good.
