Oysters and more!
So many choices we considered just eating oysters and salad. We tried three kinds and loved them all. The roasted beet salad and the chopped salad were perfect. And the lump crabmeat salad was creative and fresh. Decent wine list - we shared a lovely Malbec. Our waitress Joanne was attentive without being intrusive, and aware and careful with my food allergies.
So why only four stars? The clam chowder was not so great. Ingredients were mostly potatoes and celery, and what clams were in it were tough and tasteless.
We will be back for sure. Many more oysters to try!
I love this place! Very consistent food. Mitch was great with options considering my food allergies. We ate here 3 days straight. Delightful dining experience!
Fun restaurant/bar. If you like oysters, this place is for you! The bar/restaurant downstairs is lively and busy. The food was tasty and the wait staff were great. Upstairs the bar was hopping. There's an outdoor area as well as plenty of indoor bar area.
A proper spot for a properly fancy meal. Great layout, nice bar, stellar menu. For the price you’d expect fresh, well-prepared seafood and that’s what you get. Solid beverage and dessert options, as well. So many oyster varieties that I had to try 12 different locations. None of them disappointed but what was a bit sad was that almost all had small pieces of shell in them. Must have been a bad night for the shucker. I let the server know that it wasn’t a big deal, probably a fluke. Other than that, it was a great experience.
Great ambiance, food and people. Paul was our waiter and he made it a great night. Accommodated any request, had a great demeanor and sense of humor and made the night fun. I was with two kids and they loved it. Thanks all. And great architecture!
