On the sunlit edge of Ocean City’s bayfront, where the salt air drifts in with the tide, Oyster & Scales provides a dining experience that captures the timeless elegance of Nantucket and Cape Cod’s legendary oyster houses. Here, deep blue tones blend with warm gold accents; the lighting is soft and low, creating a cozy atmosphere. The gentle rhythm of nu jazz sets the tone for evenings that invite you to linger.

My friend and I visited on a Friday night, as a birthday celebration. The ambiance was perfect: dim lighting and thoughtfully curated decor created a cozy and sophisticated experience. We each ordered the Red Lady (sangria) and sampled soups and small plates. Everything was exceptionally plated/ presented and, of course, delicious! Our server Justin was friendly and attentive, and he made our little celebration extra special! Dessert arrived with birthday candles for each of us. What a wonderful dining experience; we look forward to our next visit.

Food ♥️
From start to finish, we had an excellent meal at oyster and scales. We were here before their grand opening so technically a soft opening. I have never had a better experience at a soft opening. They really knew what they were doing. The decor is totally on point and takes advantage of not only the great views, but the natural and elemental feel of Ocean City
We had a party of six we were seated promptly with a reservation and had excellent meals. The menu is done in the style of their sister restaurant, Spain, so, there are appetizers and small plates and large plates. You can make a meal anywhere you want sort of like customize for the kind of appetite you have or the party that is with you. On top of that, the drinks were outstanding. I got a non-alcoholic drink others got alcoholic drinks, and they were all fantastic. The fish we had and they were four of us that got fish, was exceptional. Halibut and also the Ora King salmon. Their lobster salad that some of us started with was divine! On top of that there is Jose, the manager and Peter the owner, and you have a win-win situation for Ocean City. walk or should I say run to oyster scales? It will be well worth it.

Amazing atmosphere, down to the bathrooms. Amazing brunch. Good drinks. Great view. Service was a little slow (but great) especially for it being off season and not crowded, but for that reason they could have been under staffed. Other than that, zero complaints! Can’t wait to come back when it’s warmer and the garage door windows are open :)
(The shrimp & grits Benedict was phenomenal)
