No doubt this place served fresh oysters!! The service was great, you can watch your oysters being open if you are sitting at the bar. The vibe was great! Review on their raw oysters only. I got the Oyster Bar Mixed which consists of oysters from 4 diff farms: CA, 2 WA & NC My favorite is the Hog Island Sweet Water (see pic - the ones on right of lemons). Flavor is great & so sweet! I recommend it to any 1st time raw oyster eaters! The only downside is the price. They add a "health / safety" fee, which I think it's part of the health insurance thing the biz offer. So I paid like $50 for 12 oysters. I assume it prob cheaper to eat it at their farm instead of the restaurant. Def wanna more of their oysters!

first time here, friend made reservations. a high end oyster famous restaurant oyster was good. chowders were also not bad except the sea clams has too many sand inside!

This is our favorite place for lunch midweek. Especially during our "Cabernet season" (December and January)! We were there yesterday and had bowls of clam chowder with a little bread and butter. The Hog Island chowder is the best. Fresh, delicious, clams and wonderful vegetables. Every bowl is made fresh when you order it. A chowder lunch at the bar* with a view of the kitchen is the way to go! The waitstaff at Hog Island is always top notch. Usually tenured, these guys and gals can make good recommendations from the menu as well as the beer and wine list. Put Hog Island on your list, particularly for locals enjoying the relative peace of Cabernet season! *The bar at Hog Island is a beautiful bespoke surface decorated with inlaid seashells. It is a great addition to the ambiance (and an inspiration to home kitchen decor!).

Came here again this past weekend before going to Flora Springs, got the order of fish tacos and a "6 for $24" of raw oysters. I usually come here with people who want to eat elsewhere, so I like that you can choose the "takeout" option to get your own order and sit in the communal area with other people who may not also want oysters. Pros: - REALLY FRESH OYSTERS. I like all of them and they're all delicious. Comes with lemon and light cilantro oil. - Organized service, there's a line outside the seated bar area that you can line up at before they open (sometimes can open late depending on timing of delivery), and they give you a buzzer so you can walk elsewhere while waiting for your order to avoid that area being crowded - Has seating outdoors if you want to eat at the actual restaurant - Food came out pretty quickly - Staff were professional and nice 10/10 will be coming back

AMAZING food! We are From Newport Beach and these oysters blew it out of the park! Delicious. The shrimp Linguini had sausage in it and it was way more protein that expected! All the boys were so happy. The clam chowder took work on the clams which was a little annoying at first but once we tried the broth we immediately forgot about that because it was so good. Did not know you can have a white chowder that was so thin with so much flavor! Also if you are there for the turkey thanksgiving hot oysters GET THEM!!! We sat outside and the twinkle lights were the perfect end of day hang out spot

We love coming here every time we visit Napa.. The oysters are so fresh and so delicious. We decided to have the 24 assorted oysters. It's great for four people or even three. Beautiful bottle of Franche family Chardonnay and we were set Very dog friendly , and lots of kiddos... street parking a little bit of parking lot not much we walked a half a mile and it was perfect. This place gets busy.

Visited on a Saturday afternoon around 2pm and it was still packed at Hog island! I had to wait in line before getting a seat indoors, not at the bar or outside. (Tip- be aggressive about where you are in line because people don't read signs on where the line starts and will just just the line for a table) After actually getting seated, the service and food was seamless though. We ordered (2) clams on the half shell, (12) hog island sweetwater, (6) grilled oyster mix (miso nori butter, harissa, sriracha cilantro butter). Littleneck clams on the half shell - very sweet and paired well with the dulce seaweed chimichurri and Calabrian chili sauce. My only regret was getting only 2. Hog Island Sweetwater - as the name suggests, these were nice and sweet without being briney. I ordered these because I typically enjoy the Kumamoto and wanted a sweet oyster. (Note - Hog Island Sweetwater oysters were the most similar to Kumamoto in flavors, but I was told by the waitress that the Hog Island Sweetwaters are larger in size) Grilled oyster mix - it comes with 2 miso nori butter, 2 harissa, and 2 sriracha cilantro butter. I'd probably rank in sriracha cilantro #1, miso nori #2, then in last place would be the harissa. The waitress said the harissa was probably the favorite, but it was my least favorite. If you look at pictures, the harissa is the one submerged in the chili paste. While the miso nori and sriracha cilantro were modestly flavored, I felt the harissa's chili paste was overpowering and took over the flavor profile of the oysters. The outdoor seating looked nice too with a view but we were on a time crunch. There is plenty of parking options nearby, whether at the oxbow public market (where hog island is located), street parking, or another parking lot across the street.

We were looking for a quick lunch amongst an early Friday afternoon. We had stopped by Oxbow market, and it was a perfect spot for lunch. It had plenty of seating outside, but we had chose a table inside since it was a little chilly and windy day outside. We had an awesome Server and they were on top of everything we needed like water refills and also made sure we had everything we needed for our Lunch. We had a dozen Oysters and a few appetizers with a few Adult drinks. I had a Stout and a Shrimp Po' boy sandwich. The Clam Chowder is really good and I had a few Oysters. The pickled Veggies and Calamari were also very good.. We had also had the bread baskets and definitely had enjoyed all their Oysters. We will be back if were in the area of Napa and the Oxbow Market.

It's my first time here at the Napa location. It's tucked to the side of the public market. We wanted a quick bite to eat before we explored the area. The service was nice and quick. There is a bar area and a patio outside. I enjoyed the Caesar salad a lot. I was intrigued by the grilled oyster mix because I don't see that in most places. Each flavor was delicious, but my favorite was the one with bourbon. It had a nice sweetness to it. Our favorite raw oysters have always been the Kumamoto oysters. They are small and sweet!
