Pros

Wintzell's Oyster House is a seafood lover's paradise, with an impressive selection of fresh oysters, shrimp, and fish. The atmosphere is lively and casual, making it a great spot for families and groups. The service is friendly and attentive, with servers happy to answer questions about the menu.

The food was really good. Caslaw and my broiled plate were delicious. And they have a delicious ranch. I recommend trying fried green tomatoes. Service was good. The restaurant looks clean. Prices are not too high.

The BEST catfish I’ve ever eaten…and I don’t eat much fish, especially fresh water fish. The batter was perfect, thin, crispy, but not flakey or soggy…and ZERO BONES in the fish! Excellent choice for raw oysters, too. FABtastic district for bar hopping and great food.
