oyster house
Bivalve dining establishment
An oyster house is a restaurant specializing in oysters and other seafood, typically serving raw oysters on the half shell alongside cooked preparations.
The term evokes old-fashioned establishments with casual atmospheres: We met at the oyster house on the wharf.
Some historic oyster houses date back centuries in coastal cities.
