About Caroline's Oyster Bar
Globe lights, leather banquettes and a glowing, bottle-lined bar surround an iced raw-bar display that sets the tone on arrival. The menu runs from East Coast oysters, king crab and chargrilled oysters to shrimp and grits, seared scallops, lobster rolls and steak frites, with a solid cocktail list and happy-hour food and drink. A fireplace and outdoor seating round out the space. Google shows 4.9 from 8,214 reviews, and recent ones praise individual servers by name with unusual consistency; the critical notes focus on bland sides and prices that feel high for what arrives. Hours run from 4pm daily until midnight, or 1am on Friday and Saturday, which makes it one of the later seafood rooms in the city centre. Birthday groups, hotel guests and couples fill the room at weekends. Smart casual, and reservations are recommended.
