What Fermin O'Hara doesn't like about Tom's Oyster Bar Royal Oak:
Amazing salsa !! Great service and a fun environment !!! But they need better cooks with more than one style of cooking who know how NOT to overcook all the meat they offer. ALL dishes taste very similar! All with burnt burn marks on "whatever" meat, mixed with similar spices and all well done to finish cooking. Burnt cremation, like a fajitas, but for every dish? This is the second time that I had to come here with... View all feedback. What Christine Bayer likes about Tom's Oyster Bar Royal Oak:
Crab month is awesome! Crab dinner was a lot of food for the value and delicious with corn and mashed potatoes. Our server was extremely attentive. Lots of birthdays and anniversaries around us with firecracker cakes and lively atmosphere. Will be back soon! View all feedback.

Overall everything was good, server was very busy and needed assistance. Paella was not what expected from a higher end dish

The restaurant offers a lively and fun environment with amazing salsa and great service. However, some reviewers mentioned that the dishes tasted very similar and all the meat was overcooked. Some diners found the carnitas dish disappointing due to changes in the sauce, while others experienced issues with the service, such as not being able to order doubles or feeling uncomfortable due to staff behavior. Despite these issues, many customers praised the unique dishes, top-notch service, and delicious drinks. Overall, the restaurant seems to offer a solid dining experience with standout dishes like the lobster tail dinner and Spanish coffee. It may have some room for improvement in terms of consistency in food preparation and attentive service.

While the food and drinks are good. The portion size are for kids and tiny women. Not for a grown man. Will not return
