Central Avenue Oyster Bar - St Petersburg
For over 8 years, we have served thousands of satisfied guests in St. Petersburg. We are a full service dining experience, with an emphasis on freshness, and clean flavors. As you may imagine, we go to extraordinary lengths to ensure that the supply line for our delicious Local and Boutique Oysters is always flowing. In most cases, the oyster you eat today was still swimming yesterday! Our prices are outstanding, our service is unmatched, our live entertainment 4 nights a week is the best, and we are environmentally friendly. And, we are a locally owned, family-run business.

"This is a difficult review to write because we never ate anything there. There was a misunderstanding based on what we read on the website about cold water oysters. Their oysters were from the gulf instead. We are picky about our oysters so we decided to try somewhere else. That being said, the waitress went and got a gentleman who came out and explained all about the oysters and why he believed we misread the website. We thought this was great service, and we appreciated his candor and explanation."

"Great place. Alive and noisy, to which our pre-concert group of 9 contributed. The food is very good. Fried oysters were big and cooked just till they floated so they were crisp outside and tender, just done inside. The service was patient and attentive. I'm sure we were difficult to keep up with through 2 late arrivals and subsequent late orders and continual drink requests, but our server soldiered on and never missed a beat.
We'll be back."
We'll be back."
