👍 Fresh oysters are fresh, we like the Kumamoto the most. Some places overcook or over seasoning the baked oyster but they did a great job for four different flavors. Highly recommended to try their baked oysters. People often mention oysters, baked, oyster,

    Cheap joint to fulfill your oyster slurping desires. We had fun coming to this spot, hadn't heard of the Citizen's Public Market before and was glad we found it. We tried the two fresh oysters on the menu (they rotate frequently), both of which were fairly small but tasty for the price ($18 per half dozen). We also tried the baked oyster which gives you a little more flavor and variety. Would come back

    The Oysters Rockefeller were outstanding. The oysters were plump and briny, and the topping was rich and flavorful. The dish was baked to perfection, with a perfect balance of cheese, spinach, and herbs. It was a decadent and delicious appetizer that left me craving for more.

    Oysters were great. $30 for a dozen, $16 for a half. Wife and I enjoyed the Prince Edward Island ones the most, they were the weekly special. My only gripe is they don't offer regular mignonette sauce. Theirs has cucumber for some reason. Fun atmosphere at Citizen Public House to enjoy the oysters in. Service was fast and friendly too. There were some other people here doing a wine-paired tasting. Looked fun.

    This place was on my radar for a while, and it did not disappoint 👏🏾. Great service with localy sourced oysters that comes with excellent flavors to add to the experience. I will definitely be back.

    Love this place! Delicious oysters, fast service, pleasant atmosphere. We sat on the roof where it was calmer. We found a parking lot nearby.

    All around excellence. Wonderful wines, friendly chefs, delectable & sustainable seafood options. You can never go wrong with Kumamoto oysters. The uni special with the sea bean “relish” was one of my top favorite things to eat ever. We can’t wait to go back here next time we’re in town. Note: Counter service paid at the POS.

    The wife and I were craving seafood and we remembered this place. Haven't been since the food hall opened. We had a dozen oysters (kumamoto and laguna) along with some uni chawanmushi, bread and an order of caviar. Everything was exquisite. Great value, excellent service and the food was fantastic. Especially with all the different variations of mignonette sauce. Love the sustainability mission this shop pursues so we'll be hitting this place up whenever we're in the area

    We opted for a dozen oysters, and they offered a variety of flavors and textures that pleased our palates. The "KUMAMOTO" oysters were a delightful start, small and sweet, with a delicate taste that was quite appealing. They were a great choice for those who prefer a milder oyster. The "LAGUNA BAY SELECT" oysters were refreshing, and the hints of cucumber added a unique twist to the traditional oyster flavor. They were a pleasant surprise and a nice contrast to the sweetness of the Kumamoto oysters. The "GUEST OYSTER" was an interesting concept, as it was a rotating option. It's a nice touch for those looking for something different each time they visit. The staff was helpful in providing details about the visiting oyster of the day. The oysters were served with a selection of house mignonettes, which complemented the oysters well and enhanced their flavors!

    Absolutely amazing cannot recommended this place more! It is in a market with other restaurants. However, the experience was still amazing. The baked oysters were the best I have had in my life and I have been to many cities and enjoyed oysters. I suggest you sample all the different preparations but my favorite were the habanero baked oysters. My friend got clams and they were super flavorful.
