The restaurant is owned by Johnny Chen, and Leif Miller is the Executive Chef.

Oyster and Seafood plans to serve alcohol and has applied for the needed liquor license. While it is awaiting approval from Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC), the restaurant is allowing patrons to bring a brown bag with a receipt into the restaurant.
The cocktail menu features everything from chocolate martinis, to top-shelf margaritas. It also has wine, beer and sake available.

“We will have a special chef made dessert every night, and we will be giving out samples during our opening week,” Hill said.

Hours are Monday through Saturday, 4:30 p.m. until 12 a.m., Sunday 4:30 p.m. to 10 p.m., and lunch is served on Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Sorry to say but I ate there tonight and what a disappointment. The food was so bad. Service was good, The chef came out to ask what was wrong with the food. It was so uneatable that I asked him what did it look like was on my plate because it sure was not crab cakes I have ever seen or eaten. it looked like fish burgers burnt and tasteless. The fried shrimp came out and they were all cooked to different colors and temps. The food looks like it was store bought and then cooked. At least the roll was good. The menu is way too large and too much of it is not seafood. I see the doors closing already.

I have no idea what Pete is talking about,, the food was amazing! I got the “create your own pasta” and it was out of this world good. The waiting staff was very nice and chef came out to see my table and talk to us. This is an awesome place and I will continue to come back to this place. I am born and raised in Oxford, I know what good food means to this town, and this is one of those places that everyone needs to try and make it a staple for going out to eat. Pete R. needs to stay off as a food critic and learn what real good food is. This place is 10/10 in my books and I see it staying in Oxford for a long time.
