Oyster - Valley Center

Let's start with the oysters on the half-shell. The Atlantic oysters were absolutely divine—smaller than their Pacific counterparts, but their size is perfect for a delightful treat! Pair them with a classic bowl of New England clam chowder or some deliciously baked Green-Lipped Mussels Casino, topped with Speck lardons, Parmesan, and breadcrumbs. Simply delicious! For our main course, we went with the Oyster Bar’s famous Specialty Pan-Roast. This dish is served in a rich, creamy sauce with San Marzano tomatoes, red wine, and paprika, along with an abundance of shrimp, scallops, mussels, rockfish, and lobster. And as if that weren't enough, it comes with a side of steamed rice. The enticing aroma of the broth perfectly complements the cream, making it warm and comforting. Just be sure to share this mountain of flavor with someone special, or consider skipping appetizers altogether! Have room for dessert? Check out the dessert menu at Fiore; rumors say their desserts are equally impressive. See you next time!

The seafood is consistently fresh and cooked to perfection. Since our last visit, the menu has been updated, and it's fantastic! The Seafood Puttanesca is delightful, expertly prepared with a rich depth of flavor. The steamed clams never fail to impress. This place is definitely worth a visit.
