#New York #NewYork #Grand_Central_Oyster_Bar “If you come to New York, try it at least once” “Classic New York comfortable dining” This is a seafood restaurant with over 100 years of history. Beyond being a long-established store, it is now at the level of an icon in Grand Central, the heart of New York. Perhaps because of this iconic symbolism, it may be more famous not only among New Yorkers but also tourists. It became quite well known in Korea after Baek Jong-won introduced it on Street Food Fighter. It is a spacious restaurant with a casual yet classic atmosphere located in the basement of Grand Central, New York's central station. The interior is unique, with arched rafters and tiles that blend well with the central station. Of course, as the name of the restaurant suggests, it is an oyster specialty restaurant, and there are quite a variety of oyster and clam options available, so you can eat almost any American-style seafood dish you think of. Oysters are, of course, fresh and delicious. A tip for ordering simply and comfortably is to tell the server the type of flavor and get a recommendation. The vinegar that comes with it is especially amazing. It is not the typical malt vinegar that is served, but has a unique scent and a gentle acidity. Cooked oysters can't be tasteless, so Oyster LaCapeller is also satisfying! I also gulped down the old-fashioned fried Italian calamari that I really wanted to eat when I came to America. The thing I enjoyed the most was the clap linguine. The large lily made it rich in flavor, and the chewy texture of the linguine was filling and satisfying in an American way. It may not seem like a big deal like kimchi at a Korean restaurant, but it's really something else. Coles balances the meal with its creamy, soft acidity and crunchy texture, and ending with key lime pie is the perfect way to end a wonderful lunch at a 100-year-old restaurant. It may have been the best restaurant in Jungang Station in the past, but as time passed, it gained symbolic meaning and felt more like a family restaurant for people using the station, but the comfort of the food and the symbolism of eating at a 100-year-old restaurant stand out. PS: I explained it like this, but I don't think there are many Korean restaurants that have better food than this place.

We looked forward to eating in the GC Oyster Bar while in New York and it did not disappoint. The oysters were delicious, the service excellent, the price reasonable thoroughly recommended by us.

Great seafood in a classic setting. Party of 6 had a wonderful experience..oysters were amazing. Scrod was perfectly cooked and veggies were crisp and overcooked. Service was fantastic and wine list had some nice reasonably priced selections

The seafood we had was very fresh. We opted for the seafood platter with 1/2 lobster. Looking at other dishes servers passing by were taking to other tables all looked very appealing. The place was packed and a bit noisy. The service was quick and responsive. Good wine selection as well. Given all of the above, the price seemed reasonable to us.
