About

Oyster Oyster centers dinner on seasonal tasting menus, with a vegan version built around local produce, mushrooms, and dishes such as golden beets and lion’s mane. The small Shaw dining room has kitchen-counter seating and a focused wine and house-made juice pairing; it’s a polished, high-priced choice for a special occasion, though the menu changes with the season.
