Casual, comfortable, great oysters. The rest of the market is also worth exploring as the coffee bar is quite good as is the ice cream.

The Oxbow Market is a great destination in Napa Valley. I ordered the Crab Mac & Cheese - the mac & cheese was delicious but I was disappointed in the very small amount of crab in the dish. Maybe there is a shortage of Dungeness Crab; this is what we were told at another restaurant in the area. My husband... More

The variety of oysters will impress even the people who have have eaten oysters for years. Prepared in so many ways we could not get enough. They are delicious. We ate there three times for lunch, and look forward to going back there when in Napa again. You will love this place.!

Earlier in the day we had bought food for a picnic from Oxbow Public Market, where the Hog Island Oyster Company is located and we made a note to go back and try the Oyster Bar. We had seats at the bar and service was prompt and friendly. My husband had oysters, which were excellent and I decided (having watched... More

Get your reservation early if you intend to go on a holiday weekend. The oysters they prepare are fabulous, but it's more fun to shuck them yourself and cook them over the BBQ. They provide all the tools, coals etc. Take along a picnic and some drinks to go with it. Have finn!

i have never had oysters before and looked forward to my first taste. started out with 6 one night and came back for two dozen the following night. With sparkling wine, it was certainly memorable.

On our first nite, we walked down to the Oxbow market and ate at this very casual but terrific restaurant. Cioppino was really great and don't miss the crab macaroni and cheese.

What a memorable experience! Located inside the famous, old Oxbow Building in the heart of Napa, Hog Island Oyster Company commands an entire corner of the complex. It can be crowded and it is an open area that has many people moving about. An outside patio ith coverd tables that is available must be lovely during the hot weather. There... More

Great oyster bar, some sit down space. Fantastic oysters, especially for half price at happy hour! Not much of a menu other than oysters.
