Raw-Bar Oysters and Lobster Mac on the Upper West Side
Slide into the neon-lit oyster bar for cold oysters, a raw-bar tower, and lobster mac steps from Central Park.
🦪 The Neon Oyster Bar
The green-and-blue mermaid glows over Columbus Avenue, marking one of the Upper West Side's steadiest seafood rooms. Inside, the raw bar carries the night. Order a dozen cold-water oysters on crushed ice, or build a two-tier tower stacked with shrimp, clams, and lemon. The kitchen leans into comfort too, with a lobster roll and fries, crisp fish tacos, and the lobster mac and cheese that regulars name first. Weekend brunch draws the loudest praise, and an early table beats the crowd. Reviewers rate it 4.7 across more than 500 visits, a rare consistency for a neighborhood spot steps from Central Park. Settle in for a quiet dinner or a long afternoon, and let the oysters set the pace.
