The BBQ oysters are just amazing. They are @4 bucks each and totally worth it. Atmosphere is fun with some large communal tables outside on the deck. There menu is limited but that never bothers us as we are there for the oysters, of all kinds - large, small - cooked, raw.... We get oysters here and then roam around... More

Fun place and busy place. The is located at the back entry near the cheese store. Love to sit at this great bar and enjoy oysters. The Oxbow Market is fun to walk around and select special items to take home or enjoy.

Simple, clean, and casual. Great specials during happy hour, featuring discounted craft beers and oyster specials when I went on a Tuesday around 6 pm. There were some other food options, but I enjoyed the raw oysters from three different areas in the bay. Service was fast and friendly, appropriate for setting. Some seating outside, but I think sitting at... More

Some restaurants and bars dont actually need to do much to be amazing and memorable. If you have fresh oysters, a small grill, a great setting, and mega-friendly service, you're onto a winner. Simple. The rest of the reviews on here cover the quality of the food, wine and service. I agree with all the excellent reviews. We (quite obviously... More

We discovered this place while staying in Napa and they have half priced beer and oysters on Monday and Tuesday from 5 to 7. Great prices on both so we had quite a feast! Cool setting in Oxbow market. Not many options if you don't do oysters (sole and grilled cheese) but there are other places in the market for... More

Casual, comfortable, great oysters. The rest of the market is also worth exploring as the coffee bar is quite good as is the ice cream.

The Oxbow Market is a great destination in Napa Valley. I ordered the Crab Mac & Cheese - the mac & cheese was delicious but I was disappointed in the very small amount of crab in the dish. Maybe there is a shortage of Dungeness Crab; this is what we were told at another restaurant in the area. My husband... More

The variety of oysters will impress even the people who have have eaten oysters for years. Prepared in so many ways we could not get enough. They are delicious. We ate there three times for lunch, and look forward to going back there when in Napa again. You will love this place.!

Earlier in the day we had bought food for a picnic from Oxbow Public Market, where the Hog Island Oyster Company is located and we made a note to go back and try the Oyster Bar. We had seats at the bar and service was prompt and friendly. My husband had oysters, which were excellent and I decided (having watched... More

Get your reservation early if you intend to go on a holiday weekend. The oysters they prepare are fabulous, but it's more fun to shuck them yourself and cook them over the BBQ. They provide all the tools, coals etc. Take along a picnic and some drinks to go with it. Have finn!
