18 Central Oyster Bar & Grill

Amazing. Don’t debate any longer, this is where you want to go for an unforgettable dining experience. Excellent local oyster offerings and comfort food elevated to the level that makes you wonder how you can possibly order that dish anywhere else without being disappointed.

Came here for dinner on a whim and am so glad I did. One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. The mussels, oysters, and fried chicken were all to die for, and the roasted beet salad that was a special that day was possibly the best salad I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to go back!

Great food, lively atmosphere, fun & attentive staff.

Excellent raw bar specializing in locally sourced oysters. The menu here features top shelf takes on classic comfort foods. In fair weather, deck seating offers premium views of rockport harbor.

This was my best food discovery of my New England trip! The food was really amazing - I had grilled Halibut with peas and asparagus prepared in a way that I will remember for a long time. Portions of appetizers are generous - I had some delicious razor clams with an unexpected corn preparation which was excellent. The cooking of the three dishes I shared was perfect. The service is flawless and the setting is cosy. They have a cute terrace if you want to eat with a view on the little port. Nothing but positive things to say about this place - and I am kind of picky ;)
