Full Moon Oyster Bar and Seafood Kitchen

Full Moon Oyster Bar and Seafood Kitchen anchors Morrisville’s Park West Village with a coastal steamhouse spirit. The kitchen leans on recipes handed down through the years, spotlighting oysters and shellfish served raw or steamed to preserve their briny freshness, plus seafood entrees that can be grilled, baked, or fried to order.

Diners gather around a uniquely sectioned 50-seat bar where veteran shuckers crack oysters right before guests and keep the conversation lively. Beach-themed murals, homemade soups, and indulgent desserts like the restaurant’s beloved cakes reinforce a laid-back seaside vibe, while the beverage program pours cold beer and easy-sipping wines for a full-service experience.

The spot even made headlines on December 7, 2024, when a guest uncovered a rare natural pearl in her oyster, underscoring the restaurant’s reputation for ultra-fresh bivalves and memorable moments. Locals know to drop in for lunch or dinner when they crave a coastal escape without leaving the Triangle.
