Best Oyster Bars in South Philly

From check in staff, to the bartender, to our waiter (Christian), all are pros. Atmosphere is high end. Quality of the food is outstanding. Just go and experience it for yourself.

Thanksgiving buffet was outstanding. All the food was delicious. Loved the variety and that they had boneless slices of both white meat and dark meat turkey. Fish, chicken, and shrimp were also available. A real feast. The staff was also extremely friendly and efficient. Glad I decided to come there instead of doing all that cooking, food prep, and cleanup at home.

Booked last minute on Thanksgiving as a family member was sick so we canceled our original plans. We had to wait about 15-20 minutes after our reservation time but once we sat down, our waiter Zach was very attentive and we had a nice dining experience. Since it was my 3rd or 4th time I will say, Eddie V's food very is consistently good, there are things I would recommend, and a couple things I would not order again, but definitely would not deter me from returning. And I appreciate those who came to work yesterday so my family could enjoy a good, relaxing meal at a fine establishment.

Oyster House continues to be one of our favorite restaurants in the city - consistent quality and service.

Met up with a longtime friend for a long overdue lunch. We chose The Refectory since it was mid way between our two homes. This was the first time each of had dined there and the experience was very enjoyable. Food, service, and atmosphere were all great. Definitely a return visit will be in the works.
