Flaherty's Seafood Grill & Oyster Bar
At Flaherty's...Fish is Everything!
We know good seafood, we know how to buy it and we know how to prepare it. Unlike most restaurants (even the best of them) where fish is often a secondary item on the menu...at Flaherty's it's all about seafood.
Here, you will experience a small town, comfortable, family atmosphere, where quality ingredients and quality preparation come together with quality service. We also include gluten free items in our menu to provide all of our customers with the best service possible. It's who we are...come and experience seafood like it was meant to be.

"I made the reservation at Flaherty's after checking their gluten-free menu online. But to my pleasant surprise, my server told me to check the regular menu and she would see if she could have it made gluten-free. Having all those options available to me was wonderful."

"Excellent place for a delicious seafood lunch on a brisk spring Sunday. The waiting staff were diligent and lovely to talk to. There was a good kids menu and I could hardly choose from the dishes on the varied lunchtime menu. My husband is English therefore tried out the fish & chips (excellent). I had mussels in a delicious leek / cream / white wine broth (also excellent). I could have easily selected one of the seafood chowders or fresh fish options. The venue is not upmarket nor too casual. Just very cosy and inviting. Good for couples or groups or kids who just love their seafood. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience."

"The food was excellent. The lobster bisque was too die for & the steamed clams and the Lobster dinner. Also very good creme brulee. Drinks we're excellent also the after dinner expresso martini the bartender suggested was excellent. I was visiting from Kansas City, Mo. and found this place on the internet before I arrived and had made reservations. It had great reviews, I wasn't disappointed."

"One of our most favorite discoveries for meals in the Monterrey area. The food is always outstanding, definitely a step above the other seafood places we have tried since we arrived here. The wine list is refined and educated but not expensive. The oysters are a bit pricy, but dishes are exceptional. Each item on the menu is well thought out and balanced."
