Midtown Oyster Bar is Newport's choice when it comes to fresh seafood and the largest raw bar in town. Great for a casual drink or a formal dining experience.

What is good is The oysters the lobster and leek chowder and the lobster and crab meat risotto and smoked fish variety. Service was great. Tiffany was the best. Beer was great
Superb selection of oysters ! Try the grilled octopus appetizer - you won't be sorry. Great service at the bar . Make sure to ask for the bread when waiting for your food ????
Just had a social gathering for coworkers on the second floor. Loved the atmosphere, the appetizers , and the layout. There's a second bar upstairs. Mini pizzas are amazing.
Great spot for some seafood . Head to the bar area for something a bit more casual and aim for 6:30 or so to beat all the crowds ????????????.
Yum! I was overwhelmed by the choices for dinner in Newport. I worried we’d have a mediocre dinner at a tourist trap (not the case here). Steak frites on the menu for those who don’t like seafood .
This place is beautiful! According to the bartender , the ceiling is made with beams from a barn that was condemned & the light fixtures came from an factory that was going to be demolished. Very cool!
Mahi sandwich is a bit spicy with the chipotle aioli and a lot delicious with the tender fish and guac .
Great atmosphere! You should stick with drinks and oysters from the raw menu. Ordering dinner from the entree menu is pricey .
Food is soooo good here!! Super fresh oysters and the lump crab meat cocktail is a must try.
Really good food. Service is a bit slow when busy. The oysters are expensive , but the best we've had on our trip.
Great food, great service. The scallop crude was delicious. The Oyster burger was unique and also delicious
Live music here is amazing! Totally made my night. The food and atmosphere are great, too. Great for larger parties!
Amazing spot. Make a reservation . It gets packed. If it's nice get one of the outside decks .
Great apps and drinks... gets loud at night and service is a little slow. Sit at the bar and if your lucky Tim will be working.
Unreal key lime pie . Get a seat outside on one of the decks
Great oysters ! Two different bars to sit at, which are both a lot of fun.
oyster shots, superb raw bar , very good selection of beers . wow
Oysters , cod chowder , Pinky Swear sour ale .
Th smoked fish dip is out of this world. A must have appetizer .
Good selection of draft and bottles craft beers , plus all the usual suspects. Service sucks if your not a 40 year old hot mom...
My favorite place in Newport. Great beer , service, food and entertainment.
Stop pass for a drink and some oysters .. Great atmosphere.. Standby for food rating.
food definitely varies by day...late Sun lunch was awesome, tues lunch was beyond subpar. lots of frozen seafood is used.
Get a table on deck! Great to people watch
Check out the deck on the top floor (next to the accessible toilets ? Up two flights of stairs)
Huge space inside! Amazing Rhode Island oysters
Tuna tartare tacos , smelts, and crab cakes were fantastic!!
Delicious oysters , delicious lobster & corn chowder .
Heather's tale is delicious & you can even eat the hibiscus flower they put in it ????
Stuffies and octopus are incredible!!
Delmonico steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare
Good crowd. The service was slow. The door man said the wait for a table was 1.5 hours but in fact it was only 15 min. The sweeper took a full glass of wine from our table but kindly replaced it.
Best seafood in Newport both on&off season.
Great entertainment! Awesome service.
Good scene. Less than excellent service
Great atmosphere! Must stop in newport!
Cool atmosphere. Bartenders are friendly .
Oysters were very good!
Great live entertainment.
Awesome atmosphere, and a great crowd but terrible menu and slow service
Don't get fish and chip or the code fish . Bland bland bland.....they sat us at a table with no wait staff assigned. Three other guest came in was seated and was served before us. First in last served.
Horrendous service and 20% tip included on a check for two.
Kitchen closes at 10pm on Sat
Seems like the place to be now.
Food tasted weird. Specially oyster burger was unsalted and the onions were over cooked
Not kid friendly - no fault of the restaurant but it's too loud for a baby
Food... but it just takes forever to get your food
Over price for the portions you get and service is not very good.
Nos encantó!! Todo! La pasta y el rol de langosta . Muy recomendable!!!
My family runs this place. Yummy food, excellent service and a generally fun atmosphere. Stop by on St. Patrick's Day for a real party. - Kerri Regan
Get the chili with the Gouda fries. Get the wildflower wheat ale. - Amit Patel
Local fresh fish delivery (almost daily) makes this an ideal spot for fish & chips. They also serve traditional Irish curry and curry chips. - Sonya Boggs
Great live music on Fridays! Three bars to choose from, which helps prevent long lines. #newport - Justin Breton
The scallops with plum sauce is excellent. Ribs are great also. - Christine Campos
