   The music was to loud - the food was ok, portions of some of the dishes were small. We were there for my mom's birthday and it was so loud we could not have a conversation.

   Not a whole lot to say about the place. I took a client to dinner and it was his first time and he was very unimpressed and I was extremely disappointed to say the least. The prices were much higher, the service was lacking and how do you run out of sushi rice??? The server never told us what they were out of until we ordered dinner which is frustrating because then we had to spend another 10 minutes finding something else. The food we ordered was not worth the wait. Not sure if I will go back again.

   It was my wife’s birthday and I thought they were going to do a small cake or something, now the host mentioned the birthday but the waitress didn’t. The food was great, it was our first time there….

   Service was slow, along with every single piece of my sushi coming unrolled when I picked it up to eat it. My husbands salmon was over cooked and for the price we didn’t think either of those things were acceptable.

    We had a reservation, yet had to wait 10 minutes to be seated. Our waitress kept forgetting about us and the elderly couple next to us because she had a party of 12 that seemed to be her priority. The music was obnoxiously loud EDM. It sounded like we were in a dance club. Food was a bit over priced for the portions. Flavors were “ok”. So with the long wait time, loud music, small food portions, and waitress that kept forgetting about us, we do not recommend this restaurant.

    Like the steak medallions and the bourbon cheese cake. Atmosphere is laid back with tonal jazz in the background. Good service too.

    Weak drinks, rushed service, cramped seating & not worth the amount payed for the overall service. Would not recommend & will more than likely not return unless ONLY for oysters.

    Showed uo 30 min early for reservation yet seated immediately. Noise level was quite high. Hard to hear server and people at table. Food was OK. Portions were quite good. First time visiting based on recommendation. Wasn't bad, but would probably try new place vs saying I must go back here.

    Worst service ever. So rude and was waiting 10 minutes to be approached! The server who was doing his section came and apologized and noticed we haven’t been helped. He brought us water and said he’d look for our server. She didn’t come until 10 minutes after! Her name was Kim and honestly worst place ever and worst customer service.

    My friend and I split the California rolls. They were excellent. We each ordered the salad with the quinoa. I wasn't crazy about the dressing, but the salad itself was great. We had excellent and friendly service.

    It was our first time at Tom's Oyster Bar and celebrating a special occasion. The first thing we noticed was how loud the music was. Just a note, we were there at 3:00, not 8pm. We asked if there was a quieter place to sit was told no. We were really hopeful for some good seafood, but we were sadly disappointed. We had to hunt for the Oysters in the Oysters Rockefeller. The crabcakes had very little crab and mostly filler. The seafood Po'Boy was mostly the bun with 2 small oysters and some tiny fried shrimp. I would like completement the bartender on the great Grapefruit and Basil martini and the Spanish coffee. I may try another of the Tom's locations but not the one in Royal Oak.

    Restaurant was packed and noisy. Service was PHENOMENAL, but slow due to how busy the restaurant was. Host/staff and server was friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. Food was decently priced and portioned.

    Attracted by Oyster bar as an upscale night out. Had the house salad was fresh but dressing on sour side, with add on crab cake and side of clam chowder ( runny) and 4 oysters. Fresh taste, however on pricey side so overall value was average. Also ordered the shrimp scampi which was average and pricey.

    Ambiance only rated 3 as we were in an outdoor igloo. Food was very good. Pasta wasn't well seasoned but fine once salt, pepper and add'l parmesan was brought. It would be nice to have salt/pepper available fast once meals are served, that was a bit of a wait. Drinks were outstanding, server was great.
