What an amazing restaurant! We were so touch by personal attentiveness from owner to staffs. Restaurant was clean and lively, food came out quickly and very generous portion, not to mention fresh and delicious. A great spot for seafood where you’re treated like family in a lively and precious atmosphere.

If you're searching for an unforgettable dining experience in Greenwich, Elm Street Oyster House is nothing short of extraordinary. Having dined here over 100 times since they opened, I can say without hesitation that they have never once missed the mark.

By some awful luck, we wound up in Greenwich, CT while on our way to a different part of the state. Amidst a sea of pampered, Lululemon-clad trad wives, we made our hungry way to Elm Street Oyster House for a seafood-focused lunch. The food was tasty, the service was friendly and I left feeling like I actually had something positive to say about the area (for once). The special Pan Fried Oysters were the perfect garlicky and tomato-y start to take the edge off our rumbling stomachs.

Had a good lunch here. The service was friendly and we enjoyed the oysters the most out of everything we ordered.

Disappointing dinner tonight at Elm Street Oyster house. We both ordered hot lobster rolls and unfortunately mine came out cold. Not like a cold lobster roll with mayo but a hot buttery one, only the lobster meat was room temp/cold. There was barely any meat on the roll to warrant a price of $45 and whatever was on there was overcooked. To top it off I was given the end piece of the bread. Most expensive lobster roll for being the 2nd worst I’ve ever had. Our server didn’t come over once to see how it was or if we needed anything so I ended up eating it because I was so hungry. Luckily the fries and coleslaw were good. Definitely do not recommend this place.
