Reviews
Great little hidden spot. We drove over in our boat from Niceville. Plenty of open slips to park your boat. I had the blackened fish sandwich and it was great! Big piece of Mahi and the price was right too. My wife had the Philly and said it was very good as well. Gumbo was so so but definitely didn't ruin our meal. We'll be back!
5 stars for the oysters which were from Yankeetown Florida, served nicely chilled, medium sized and slightly briney. We paired with fried green tomatoes which were also very good. House rose wine worked a treat. Service was very slow, simply not enough staff for cooking and serving. We got in at 2.30 pm on a Saturday and the place was rammo with people waiting. It is a great location on the Marina and a good stop if you are heading up the 20. Prices are fine. There is outside seating if you dont mind perching on bar stools.
My husband and I had a fabulous lunch here today. It's a quirky place at a marina. A little hard to find but worth it! I had the cucumber salad (cucumbers, red onions, grape tomatoes and red and yellow peppers in a perfect vinaigrette). I also had the shrimp tacos topped with perfectly ripe mango cubes. Shrimp were perfectly cooked, as were those in my husband's shrimp basket. He had a side of onion rings (very good - I snitched one). We shared a piece of simple but creamy key lime pie. It's crust was neither too hard nor too crumbly. We may come back for the golf in the area, but we certainly will try to come to this restaurant again!
The oar house is under new ownership and has vastly improved! The oysters are fresh and always tasty! The wings are absolutely the best. More importantly the service is great and prices are very reasonable. The Oar house is a great neighborhood nugget! Nestled on the bayou with indoor and outdoor seating and a "cheers" vibe where Beth and Joe gives personalized service..
