Monroe Bay Oysterette

Why is Monroe Bay Osyterette so good ?!?!?! This is our second time at this place and Monroe Bay Oysterette continues to blow our minds. If you are a seafood lover DO NOT sleep on this place !!! We had the 6 Minnie Pearls and 6 Salt Grass Osyters. They taste so fresh and clean. They are a must have if you are an Osyter lover do NOT sleep on the oysters. We also had the crab dip which is really good as well. You can taste the real shredded crabs like from a crab cake. Then we had the Mussels Frites which is an absolute heaven. This is one dish I would always get coming here. The wine taste from the broth with the fries and mussels, really bravo on so many levels and flavor it delivers. Finally the Warm Lobster roll, Hello !?!?! Have you seen the pictures of the lobster roll??? So plump

We wanted to try a new place close to home and what a win!! The food was so good and Amaya our server was very friendly. The place is not very big but great for a cozy little date night. We definitely will be returning and telling our friends about this hidden treasure 😊

One word...WOW! How does this place NOT have a line around the block? Ate here on New Year's Day with the Mrs and will definitely be back. Ordered a bowl of clam chowder to start and it was excellent. Not overly heavy on a thick cream base with minimal potato and plentiful clams. Followed that with Oysters Rockefeller and again...WOW! Perfectly cooked with plump oysters and a crunchy topping. Finished off the starters with the crab dip which was a cheesy rich baked crab dip with generous crab and perfectly toasted bread chunks for dipping. The Mrs had the crawfish etoufee which she described as delicious tho a bit spicy. I had the crab sandwich. It was a perfectly cooked "crabby patty" on a delicious little toasted brioche bun. The crab meat was generous with only enough filler to hold it

It was our first time here and we ordered calamari, six oysters, tuna tartare, and the evening’s special, Cod Louisiana, which was a thick cod filet sitting atop a bowl of étouffée. It was all good, but the tuna tartare and the Cod Louisiana were phenomenal. My husband’s only critique of the cod was that it didn’t come with a cheddar biscuit or other bread to fully clean the plate with. We will be returning.

1st time patronizing the establishment and I am impressed. The staff was very very friendly and attentive. Being that it was my 1st time, I was informed about how everything worked (QR ordering and payment) and given water immediately. Absolutely no complaints from me. The HH oysters were delicious and I had the shrimp basket as well. Everything was delicious.
