We had reservations but decided to sit and eat at the bar. Vince the bartender was very courteous and attentive with our drinks and meal to the point he deliciously modified our drinks to perfection. As always, the seafood bisque and onion soup were superb. We had ordered the short rib which was a little on the tough side and could have had a little more gravy to compliment it. Otherwise, a great place located on the water who are great hosts to locals, regulars, and first time diners

We had a great Holiday dinner here prior to a show at Patchogue Theatre. The chicken pot pie is amazing, and we loved the Bread Pudding dessert and Peanut Butter dessert.

Saturday night reservation was made earlier in the day, so that was nice. Valet parking was nice and the guys were very polite. We arrived a few minutes early and we were seated promptly. We looked over the menu along with drink/dinner specials that all looked interesting. My wife had one of their specialty martinis and I just had a regular gin martini. Both were prepared very well. For apps we ordered their take on oysters casino, that was very good. Also due to the change in weather we also had their soup, the bisque and wedding soup, both very tasty. Our mains were the striped bass special and their slow braised short rib. The bass was cooked to perfection and the short rib was very tender and had a deep flavor. Both were hits. As for dessert, the coffee was fresh brewed but the apple crisp missed the mark as the apples were cut very thick and were hard. We have been to The Oar many times over the summer and sit on their outdoor deck, but we will definitely return over the winter to have another wonderful meal.

The food was not fresh. The fish seemed previously frozen and rubbery. The food overall was very disappointing
