I’ve been here 3 times and every time something has gone less than smoothly. The food is decent when you get what you ask for but the service is BRUTAL. First time was okay. Service was a little slow but they brought the wrong food out and put our order in incorrectly. It happens. I didn’t love the 3 or 4 houseflies hanging around the table though. Second time, we went in and there were more flies both in the dining room and the even in the bathroom. I get wanting to let fresh air in, but close the screen door. Additionally, we had to wait at least 20 minutes for someone to come over to us. While we were waiting, another table that had been waiting for their food for a long time asked their server if the order was entered yet. She took offense and asked them “why would you think I didn’t put the order in? Obviously I put it in.” After they left, we heard the server complaining to bartender about the lack of tip. Totally fine if you want to vent to a co-worker, but complaining about guests in front of other guests while you’re on the floor just kinda kills the mood. Service was in fact slow and she was rude to the guests, so I can see where the low tip would come in. Finally, we came here one last time with my in-laws and the service was painfully slow! Luckily no flies this time. Drinks took 10 minutes and then we weren’t asked if we wanted another. The food came out wrong again! And then it took the servers 10 minutes to bring us the check from the time we asked. Its a VERY small place, so not sure why anything takes long. Its a shame because its not a big place and the food is good once you get it, but the service is pathetic.

Both times I have dined at Blue Oar I have been so disappointed by the portion size. Terrible value. The quinoa bowl was barely a lunch portion and cost $26 and the Brussels sprout appetizer was oversized. Probably won’t dine there again.

I have been on a date to the Blue Oar with my girlfriend, the staff was lovely, they arranged a quite cozy table in a corner and offered us coffee, food and cocktails were delicious (brussels sprouts, tuna and burgers). It has a very friendly atmosphere, I saw also people coming with their families or with friends, for a beer or dinner. Recommend wholeheartedly! Cheers from Paris, France!

My food experiences (and I have had several including take out) have been meh until a lunch meeting experience whereby I was as sick as a dog from midnight until the next day. Not fun! Prior to that I skipped breakfast so the culprit was clearly: The Blue Oar. I'm not sure what is going on with this establishment but upon reading recent reviews, all seems troubling.

Food is ok. Service is consistently not great. Very pretentious for how mediocre it is.

This place is a disaster from head to toe! Flies flying all around the restaurant it was so disgusting! Not to mention the owner Tracey was very rude and unprofessional. I would not go back to this place if you paid me

I don’t do many bad reviews anymore because I think the restaurant business is a tough way to make a living. I’m making an exception here because the food is so terrible. The last time I was here I ordered salmon that tasted like it had been brined to last through a few months. It was also overcooked. On todays visit ordered turkey soup with quinoa only there was no quinoa. Bartender explained that quinoa sucked up broth. Shethen brought out another cup with no quinoa. It was awful.Then came burgers we ordered. One of the worst burgers I’ve ever had at an any restaurant any where. Tasted like meatballs from school lunch. Absolutely no effort. Try something else.

I hate places that give you Cesar salad with the ends of the lettuce. Got served a sporadically barely dressed bed of large romaine ends. Took away from the steak that was cooked perfectly and the rest. I should have sent it back. Service was good.

We had a group of nine people including two younger ones. All were satisfied with their food and drink selections! It was pouring rain outside and we were staying at a VRBO! We didn't know the area but this turned out to be a great selection for us! Great food, service and drinks made the night worth it!
