ReviewsFresh Seafood and Politics The 42nd St. Oyster Bar is a favorite spot for the movers and shakers in North Carolina's capital city. Fresh seafood is brought in daily from the restaurant's own fishing boats. The beer and wine selection is fantastic, including several regional and antional microbrews. Highland Kashmir IPA is a very good selection. The 42nd St. Oyster Bar is a favorite spot for the movers and shakers in North Carolina's capital city.

Highland Kashmir IPA is a very good selection. We waited for our party in the bar section and found that happy hour offers fresh oysters for $3/dozen. The cocktail sauce is homemade and they include extra fresh horseradish on the side to spice it to taste. All the food we ordered for dinner was plentiful, fresh, and very very good. Fresh hushpuppies with butter are laid out while ordering and are almost a meal in themselves. I was disappointed with the cheddar potatoes with my meal which are twice baked potatoes with cheddar cheese melted on top. However my wife's sour cream and chive mashed potatoes were great. I had the mahi-mahi, my wife had the scallops and shrimp. My brother won with the baked seafood platter - scallops, shrimp, and a halibut steak baked with bay seasoning. The place is very busy and the service is outstanding. One of the better places I've been.

I had fried shrimp, which were so overcooked and dry that they might as well have been frozen if they weren't. Sides were nothing special, except for the price. Way overrated.

It's a terrific place to take clients and a great spot for good music, good beer and good service. If you've never been you need to check it out. Another thing, these guys always have the cleanest restrooms in Raleigh. I have been a regular here since they opened in '87.

It wasn't my favorite but all around good. It's got good music too. I would go back if I could, but I moved away from the area. Pretty good over all. It wasn't my favorite but all around good.

The Fat Bastard wine was-despite it's name- a very good wine recommended by our wait staff. The steak was cooked to perfection. I had the love of my life with me- The atmosphere was not overly romantic but allowed just a bit of ambiance in...so it was a night with my best friend that may have allowed the friendship to spark even more than it already had. I look forward to my next visit. I had a fantastic dining experience at 42nd st. The service was good. The Fat Bastard wine was-despite it's name- a very good wine recommended by our wait staff.

The salad was sub-par. The steamed vegetables, nothing special. The service was great. I would only go back for the pie, though. Food Rating [4/10] Service Rating [10/10] Ambiance Rating [6/10]
