"Downtown St Pete has an artsy culture fest vibe to it and bordering on the Marina is a really great place to enjoy a quiet Sunday afternoon. We were doing just that celebrating 80years of the historic Haslam bookstore with cakes on a porch swing for afters at Craftsman Gallery. Oyster Bar is well located on a tree lined city street with a cafe quarter feel to it.. We went in for early dinner and ordered cod very well prepared, delicious and generously portioned. the waitress readily accommodated our request for an alternate side of potatoes not quite on the menu. The wood paneled walls were enhanced by gorgeous art work and made for a beautiful interior. We were also celebrating our 39th anniversary and this was a fine end to our day."

We had a wonderful time celebrating my wife's birthday and Valentine's Day! We definitely look forward to visiting again.

Nice place to go when downtown. Away from the crowds on the waterfront. Good food and nice atmosphere with the brick walls.

Do not order food outside of the oysters. Disappointment came when menu says west coast oysters available, they had none. Chicken satay smelled like it was past expiration, steak ordered med rare came well done. Lobster tasted as if it was boiled in sugar water, not fresh.

We visited for New Year's Eve dinner and were a bit disappointed that they didn't offer their regular menu. We were really looking forward to trying several dishes we had seen on their website. We ended up ordering the oyster appetizers, which were good, but we hope to try again during a non-holiday time. View menu

I wanted to like our lunch but the food just couldn't fit the bill. The bread on my sandwich was clearly stale, there was very few oysters and my Husband had to order just a side dish as his calamari had a strange taste to it so he didn't want to eat it after a few bites. The manager was extremely friendly and waitress attentive but sadly good service does not equate to good food. Great bar atmosphere.

I booked this table for New Year's eve through Open Table. NYE coincides with my wedding anniversary. So, I was hoping to have a great dinner at my favorite local oyster restaurant with my hubby. at booking, no mention was made of a special menu for the evening, so I was surprised to be handed the NYE menu which was MUCH too limited for my tastes! Our waitress was amazing, though, and she brought us the oyster menu from which we ordered oyster appetizers (absolutely delicious!! and then went on our way. Had we had more available menu options, we would have almost certainly spent more than their prix fixe menu price on our a la carte orders. There were many open tables, so not sure why they f...

"Not long ago I stumbled upon this place. I was in love with it right away. I told everyone I knew about it. The service was great. The food was delicious. The ease of the drive thru was just what I needed with small children in tow. This place is a cashless business. Each customer they charge an automatic 15 gratuity. Sometimes they ask if the gratuity is ok and sometimes they don't. You prepay before they bring you the food and before you eat it. Charging Gratuity ahead of time is a bit presumptuous in my opinion. Months after I started going here, I started asking for my receipts. I did this because according to my credit card statements, the charge was different each time. Even though my order was the same. Unbeknownst to me, I'd been charged way above the 15 . Sometimes it was 23 , other times it was 25 . It was whatever amount they decided on. Did I mention this place is drive thru only? I had many discussions with the owners and they promised they would fix the problem. She comped a meal or 2 of mine for the extra money I spent, but it was not near the amount I had spent when the extra gratuity was added on to each order. I can only imagine how much extra gratuity I paid before I previously started asking for the receipt. I use to go there 5 days a week. Do the math. Today was the very last day I will give Pineapple Espresso my business. They overcharged me again. They did not fix the problem, but continue to blame it on the new help or their new credit card machines. I gave them multiple times to get there sh t together and they didn't. So, if you are thinking of visiting this place or maybe you already do, I highly suggest you have them print out your receipts. And pay attention to any extra charges. Chances are really good your paying an extra 23 or more gratuity on your orders."
