  • Oysters and mussels were amazing. Mussel sauce was the best we ever had. The scallop entree was excellent. Donuts for dessert were ok, but brownie sundae was perfect. Waiter was very knowledgeable about all the food and wine even down to knowing exactly what was in the mussel sauce. The hostess was very friendly and sat us immediately. Best in the area in our opinion!

    The freshest oysters and clams I have ever had. The restaurant now features a happy hour from 4 to 6 PM Monday to Friday. Appetizers are usually 30% to 40% discounted. Very clean place and the seafood is as good as it gets. The management seems very fussy about fresh ingredients. There are also a few non seafood items on the menu that are worth trying depending on your tastes.

  • What a welcome addition to the region! The food is creatively conceived and prepared -- the oysters are ooh la la as fresh as can be. The seafood is grand. The ambiance is lovely; the service is excellent.

  • One of my all=time favorite restaurants. Oysters always fresh and delicious; everything else beautifully presented and reliably yummy. Drinks perfectly prepared (rarer than you think) and waitstaff very knowledgeable and cordial. A winner every time!
