New Addition To The Menu

Some will be sad to see the Duck Entree go, but wait until you try what we put in its place.  Free Range Chicken Breast over Potato Dumplings, with Peas, Baby Carrots, Cippollini Onions, Baby Fennel, Chicken Leg Confit, and a Herb Chicken Gravy.  A little bit like Chicken Pot Pie…Yummm!

Worlds Best Coffee!

We at Liv’s Oyster Bar LOVE our Ashlawn Farms Coffee.  It is fresh roasted in our neighboring town Old Lyme.  So fresh, medium roast, with a nutty tone, we cant get enough… Actually, I think Liv’s Oyster Bar staff drink more of this tasty warm drink then our customers.

If its cappuccino you prefer, then who better to ask then our tall dark and mysterious server Joe.  He is a cappuccino genius.

Check out where we get our coffee at www.farmcoffee.com

New to the Happy Hour Menu.

We took a customer favorite and spiced it up a bit. The Sliders are a classic, so we thought why not try to make them even better. We took off the Philly Cheesesteak sliders and replaced it with our new Braised Short Rib Sliders. It has aged White Cheddar Cheese, Caramelized Onions, and our favorite BBQ sauce.
