What a great addition to the Phoenix restaurant scene! Fresh seafood is SO hard to come by in AZ and after moving back from San Fran a couple of months ago, this is exactly what I needed on a rainy Sunday evening.
We ordered a bottle of wine with a dozen oysters, a few from each of their selection. The oysters were followed by the steam PEI mussels which were out of this world. Wonderful pepper and rosemary flavors with chopped garlic... I'm still drooling over these!! And served with their house cornbread... Ugh! We also ordered the tuna tostadas and the beef tartar. They give you a MASSIVE serving of tartar with an egg yolk to top it off. The tostadas were fantastic, not too spicy and the pickled jalapeƱo, carrot combination was a great addition to the ahi and avocado combination. I could have eaten all three and been completely satisfied. We didn't have enough room to order anymore food, but will be back to explore more!
The only hiccups to our meal were the oysters, I had a lot of shell particles in each of the four that I ate. Shucking isn't easy and it is a new restaurant, so I can't fault anyone. Also, our bottle of wine was delivered and already open. I'm not a stickler for abiding by all of the formal dining "rules", but that one may be better left as is, just for the peace of mind of the guest. Still a great meal and left satisfied! Keep it up!
