Grand Central Oyster Bar Details

The Grand Central Oyster Bar & Restaurant first opened its doors way back in 1913, in what was then a brand new, state-of-the-art, Grand Central Station. With its cavernous architecture and sweeping white tiled ceilings, the restaurant evokes this old New York in all its grandness.

Over the years, the Oyster has become a fixture in the Midtown dining scene, and a favorite stop for everyone from businessmen doing a power lunch, to tourists who want a unique experience. The raw bar is spectacular, with daily offerings of dozens of different oyster varieties flown in fresh from all over the world.

Few places remain consistently as satisfying as the Oyster Bar, whether you sit shoulder-to-shoulder at the counters, or at the white-tablecloth tables in front, or back in the saloon. Service remains charming and effusive, regardless of your order. Whether the signature clam chowder, a dozen (or two or three) oysters on the half shell, the remarkable lobster club sandwich, a smoked trout or any of the dozens of other dishes, time seems to pass more slowly in this subterranean seafood palace.
