Midtown Oyster Bar (Newport, RI)

August 8, 2018 by Rich 18 Comments

All I wanted in Newport were some oysters. How hard can it be? After walking by several questionable places on Thames, I knew I had to revert to Yelp to assist me on this mission. The Yelpers brought me to Midtown Oyster Bar.

Restaurant Type: Casual Dining with loosely enforced dress code.
My short summary sentence: Have you ever seen Batman shuck an oyster?

Food (65%)
Taste to price 5/5
Quality to price 4.5/5
Portion to price 4/5
Average = 4.5

Service (20%)  
Friendliness 3/5
Promptness 2/5
Average = 2.5

Cleanliness (15%)
Bathroom 4/5
Dining area 4.5/5
Kitchen area 4/5
Average = 4.17

Overall Score = [F(.65)]+[S(.20)]+C(.15)]
   = [2.93]+[0.5]+[0.63]
   = 4.06

What else to know: For some reason, the exterior is dark, like Batman dark. Maybe the owners are huge Christopher Nolan fans. Whatever the case maybe, I can learn to dig the gothic look. When I arrived the host walked us to what was probably the best seat of the house, the roof top right in the corner facing Thames. Picture this man, the weather was around 85 and sunny heading towards sunset. I couldn’t ask for a better experience especially when my oyster shooters were besides me. I’ve come to this conclusion after being up there for some time: Sipping shooters on the roof top and people watching should be televised. I had a blast watching all the people walk by. Afterwards, I ordered half a dozen oysters, chilled lobster, and the seafood pan roast. One by one they came out and one by one I savored every bite. All of which were fresh, lush, and abundant. I could not ask for better seafood. You have to come here for the seafood.

The Daily Catch Brookline

I came here for the Lobster Fra Diavolo. It seems like everyone comes here for that dish. I verified when I glanced over the other tables and saw the same thing. The question is, how hungry are you and how much do you love seafood?

What else to know: 

You will never hear the words “I wish there was more food”. The portions here are plenty to go around. My GF and I ordered the Small Fried Calamari for apps and the Lobster Fra Diavolo (for one) for our main entree. By the end of our meal, I was struggling to get up and my belt may have stretched a few centimeters. I also loved they kept the door open as it was a lovely sunny day. Our waitress was so nice and I enjoyed her a lot. Keep in mind that because the place is so small, there can be quite a wait time. For instance, I arrived on a Monday at around 6:30 pm and waited about 20 minutes so not too bad but if I had came in 15 minutes later I could have easily been the couple staring at me waiting to take my table instead.
