“ Absolutely Outstanding! We had an incredible experience at Elm Square Oysterr in Andover, MA. Rosalina and her brother John provided top-notch service, making us feel truly welcomed. The food was exceptional—clean, high-quality ingredients, and every dish was perfectly executed. The Duxbury oysters were the best I’ve ever had—so fresh and flavorful! The drinks? Unbelievable! To top it all off, their warm hospitality shined through when they surprised our table with complimentary champagne & dessert for our friend’s anniversary. A class act all around! Highly recommend. ”

“ Fantastic food and service. We could not get enough of the cold briny oysters. And the kitchen has a deft hand with everything else as well: deviled eggs, chicken liver pate, butter lettuce salad, brussels sprouts, herbed fries...all were delicious. Truly talented kitchen staff, many thanks to all of you we had a wonderful evening. ”
“ Best halibut ever!!! Cooked perfectly with butter and salt, succulent scallops, and a mouth watering steak. The beets and goat cheese melted in my mouth. The blue fin tuna crudo started the meal perfectly. ”
“ First time at Elm Square Oyster. Had a table available in the bar which seemed to be the place to be. Bar area was packed. Started with couple signature drinks. I had a snowbird, it was very tasty if you like grapefruit. Server was excellent even though it was very busy. He recommended a few oysters and off we went. Very well shucked keeping the brine in the shell and they had the usual cocktail sauce and mignonette but there was an additional sauce - spicy with maybe some Sriracha, honestly saved it for my burger/fries, it was that good. Crab dip and chips were ok. Drip was good but I don't love it when places serve the chips "well done". We then had a mushroom toast and burger. The sauce on the mushroom toast was amazing. Burger was solid and definitely a good portion. All in all. Definitely will return. Great vibe, good food, excellent service. ”
“ Blown away! I haven’t had a meal in a long time up in the “burbs” that has blown me away and this place did that. Artfully crafted starters and mains- flavors were spot on and seasoning was perfect. The crudo we had was refreshing and flavorful. Mushroom risotto balls were cooked to perfection, and the surprising sweetness and saltiness on them was delicious! The halibut was cooked to perfection and melted in my mouth. We will be back! ”
“ This was our first time visiting Elm Square oyster. I made reservation online and emailed with Rosanne the owner. My wife and I were celebrating two big events and Rosanne and the staff were tremendously accommodating. We had great service and were made to feel very special. Our waiter, JESSE Was tremendous. The quality of food was top-notch and the ambience is cool for a Andover town center establishment. We will be back, soon. ”
