Featured Oysters

Discover our chef's rotating selection of featured oysters — harvested fresh from the coast and shucked to order. Each variety is served ice-cold to highlight its unique terroir, ranging from crisp and briny to sweet and creamy. Accompanied by house-made mignonette, cocktail, horseradish, and lemon, this is the purest way to experience the flavor of the tide.

Beausoleil

1/2 Doz $20.00 | Dozen $38.00 • Miramichi Bay, Canada | The "Champagne of Oysters." Grown in floating trays near the surface, these never touch the sea floor. The result is a stunningly clean, "well-groomed" shell. They are the perfect starter oyster—delicate, refined, and consistently crisp.

Blue Point

1/2 Doz $20.00 | Dozen $38.00 • Long Island, New York | The American Classic. A staple since the 1800s, these are the reliable crowd-pleasers of the oyster world. Bottom-planted in swift currents, they are rugged, substantial, and exactly what people picture when they think of an "East Coast Oyster."

Pink Moon

1/2 Doz $20.00 | Dozen $38.00 • Prince Edward Island, Canada | A culinary favorite from the wild, cold waters of PEI. The "Pink Moon" name hints at their glistening, manicured shells. Slow-grown for 4–5 years to develop a hard shell, they are often described as a polished version of the famous Malpeque.

James River
$16.00/1/2 doz

Virginia | A taste of American history. Harvested from the wild reefs of the Chesapeake Bay, these oysters are descendants of the ones that fed the original Jamestown settlers. They are meaty and substantial, known for having very low salinity and a clean, earthy finish.

Kellum

1/2 Doz $16.00 | Dozen $30.00 • Virginia | The Chesapeake Tradition. Sourced by one of Virginia's oldest seafood families, these are perfect for diners who want a classic oyster experience. Less briny than ocean oysters, focusing more on a rich, buttery texture.

Chef's Variety
$38.00/Dozen

A curated tour of the coasts. A dozen oysters featuring a mix of crisp, mineral East Coast varieties and creamy, sweet West Coast varieties. Experience "Merroir"—the taste of the seaside—side by side.

Oysters from the Grill

Fresh oysters grilled to perfection over open flame — smoky, buttery, and full of coastal flavor. Choose from our signature styles: Each one captures the best of Southern seafood with a touch of Isla's charm. Perfect for sharing or savoring solo.

Down South

Half Dozen $20.00 | Dozen $38.00 • Broiled oysters topped with our house-made pimento cheese, smoked bacon, local honey, and banana peppers. Sweet, smoky, and just a little spicy — a bold Southern twist on classic oysters.

Herb & Butter

Half Dozen $20.00 | Dozen $38.00 • Fresh oysters grilled over open flame and finished with our house-made garlic and herb compound butter. Rich, smoky, and perfectly balanced — the ultimate Southern take on classic chargrilled oysters.

Ostras Borrachas

Half Dozen $20.00 | Dozen $38.00 • Fresh oysters grilled over open flame and splashed with tequila, Tajín, and lime — smoky, citrusy, and full of kick. A coastal twist that brings the heat and the flavor Isla's is known for.

Buffalo Style

Half Dozen $20.00 | Dozen $38.00 • Lightly Breaded and Dried. Tossed in house-made buffalo sauce and bleu cheese crumbles.
