I'm not sure why there have been so many recent negative results for The Frisky Oyster. I actually think that Frisky was better than another more highly rated restaurant in town. The atmosphere is moody and not sterile. The service is attentive and also friendly. Our food was very delicious and inventive. Clearly a nice restaurant and definitely recommend this for a special occasion or just a great dinner.
The hubs and I came here one night for the first time and we loved it. Everything in town was closed and they were the only ones open later than other spots.
The atmosphere can be a bit intimidating but once you get past that idea, its super comfy.
Service was fast and staff was friendly. Aside from coming here because they were the only ones open, we came for oysters and drinks. Sadly, they only had two options on the menu for oysters. I was hoping they would have more options with oysters given that their name is Frisky Oyster. The drinks were amazing and the prices were pretty high BUT look at the location.
Would we come here again? Maybe but not any time soon.

Just went here for my anniversary with my fiancée. This place was insanely good. Apologies for the low light pics, we were in the back corner but the ambience was immense. Every cocktail we had was super tasty, and because of this place, we’ve been making a lot of spicy watermelon margaritas. We started with the grilled lobster quesadilla, which was very good and moved on to the peconic gold oyster friskafella which was insanely good. Seriously. Absolutely PACKED with flavor, and a must have when going. Next, we had the lobster gigli pasta which I thought was tasty, but the real star of the show for the entrees was the pomegranate bbq beef short ribs. I’m a short rib fan, and I thought the pomegranate sauce they used was a perfect compliment. We also subbed the cauliflower purée for creamy garlic polenta, which is definitely the way to go in my opinion. I thought this place was perfect. Service was good, cocktails were great, and the food was amazing and flavorful. Check this place out for a special dinner, or just a regular one if you’re in the mood for a damn good meal.
Very good to excellent food. Desserts are not to be missed, so try! to save room. Service was inconsistent and the staff needs some training to truly merit the price point. E.g., bringing three entrees and then ... 10+ minutes later to bring the fourth entree or to have us sit for nearly 20 minutes waiting for our cocktails.. without bread or water... It may stem from the fact that on our very packed saturday night, the owner was not onsite. Tables were too crowded together, there was no way for the staff to move to and from the kitchen without constantly bumping my chair.
Lovely long lateish dinner here. Same comfortable ambience as when I first came in 2018. Great for groups, family, couples. The food was okay, not particularly memorable.
Amazing food and solid service. Expensive - great for a nice dinner but count on $100 per person if you get drinks, apps and entrees. The air conditioning was blasting though and made for a chilly dinner and our chairs keep getting bumped from people walking by. For the price point these shouldn't have been issues. We would return and just ask to sit at a less crowded table (and bring a sweater!)
Jack and Diogo took great care of us. Seated on the front window, we enjoyed our curated cocktails and delicious selections from. The menu including lobster quesadilla, crispy tuna spring rolls and baked oysters. Yummy. Looking forward to returning again and again.
The service was amazing and so professional ☺️ we were seated immediately and had a beautiful dinner. It is pricey and I think some of the food came out more warm than hot. Drinks are also $15-26 for cocktails. Atmosphere is pleasant and it was a nice place. Oysters come a bit small and the sauce is more on the sweet side.
The atmosphere is great and the food was amazing. Having gone now that restaurants are finally open post-covid shutdow , all of the staff was doing a great job with wearing masks and gloves; the seating seemed to be at half capacity as well. They were accommodating with food allergies and the vibe was very relaxing. All staff were so polite and friendly. Will definitely be back.
Amazing date night dinner! Everything from the wine to the duck and halibut! Must try the peeko oysters !! We had two orders!

Probably the nicest Restaurant in Greenport. Also, the priciest and hardest to get into. Reservations are a must! Everyone wants to try this place. Everything is done just a little bit different from another restaurant. Check out the picture of the salt and pepper for the table, so cool! The large piece of butter they serve with the rustic Italian table bread has "Hawaiian Salt" flowing over the side,see picture. Now they call this place the Frisky Oyster. However, oysters are not really abundant on the menu. In fact I had to look several times to see if they even had oysters. Of course, they did. I got the only oyster appetizer that was offered, at least on the night I went. Now these little suckers, see picture, were amazing. The best $25 bux for 6 tiny oysters. A little disappointing as I was finished with my appetizer in about 34 secounds. I could have eaten about 100 of these bad boys. Ok that being said, I ordered the Beef filet with lobster risotto. I had ordered it rare, it came to my table charred and more then well done. Our server, Kyle had it replaced for me without hesitation. When I did get my rare filet it was amazing! Back to Kyle, he was very personable and engaging. He invited us to try things we weren't sure if we would like and he said if we didn't like whatever we tried he would take it back and let us try something else. Needless to say we liked everything.
I'm knit picking here, but the tables are very close together and you can easily hear word for word what the people are saying at adjacent tables , which means they can hear you! Be careful what you say. It was a little annoying when the people sitting next to me what ask the waiter what are they having? And a pointing finger would be over my table. Yes, that's how close the tables are.
Overall a very good experience and I will return. Visiting Greenport? Make sure you make your reservation prior to your visit to the town. For a couple, drinks, appetizers, 6 puny oysters, and 2 main courses, be prepared to drop $250+ Boom!
My choice was between the halibut or Tuna, but I chose the Tuna after the suggestion from the waitress. It was a great suggestion and an absolutely amazing meal. We also had two types of Oysters as appetizers that were great. My girlfriend had the scallop which she also loved. We were disspointed with the mixed cocktail.

Enjoyed dinner last Saturday night with my wife. We were early birds and got a seat in a corner behind the bar. It was a great seat as it was private but close to the action. We have enjoyed this restaurant for years and just love it. Starts with the beautiful dinning room and the food is par excellence. I ordered a fun appetizer oyster friskotella a fun take on oysters Rockefeller. It’s always a great change up to eat cooked oysters in a sauce. Not exactly sure what the difference is but this dish is the best. A must have if you like oysters. A good option for the summer months (months without an ‘r’). So the main entree was LI duck of course cooked medium. I like ordering LI duck when I’m on Long Island. I expected a great dish but little did I know I would get the best LI duck dinner ever. I ordered it cooked medium hints of pink is what was served and to date the most tender duck I ever ate. I guess it was a little luck of the duck! Anyway great restaurant and certainly worth going out of your way to visit!
Great place. Mix up with the reservation, but they made it work well.. Phenomenal food and atmosphere. A must hit in Greenport
The food was delicious and very well done. The service was spot on, and the atmosphere had an urban feel. Perfect!
