Of course, these are all touristy places and the locals will probably tell you it's poo.

Felix's and Acme are still the best in the quarter for raw oysters, never really a consensus on who's better. (And they are right by each other.) Brennan's is a classic, and has contributed much to American cuisine, but at this point it is just overpriced compared to what you can get elsewhere. Not to say you can't have a great meal there though.
