| - I was here for St. Patrick's Day for a dinner for two and had a pleasant experience. We mainly chose this place because we wanted oysters - they did not disappoint.
Ambience = 5-stars. We walked-in around 8:45pm without a reservation and was able to get seated right away. It is a relatively small location and I think I saw a back room with larger seating for groups but in the main dining area it was bar seating, a couple booths and a handful of tables for 2-4 from what I remember - definitely make a reservation if you have a group bigger than 2-4. Very nice ambience with old school jams, dim candle-lit dining type of experience which I appreciated because you can actually hold a conversation. Also if you check-in on yelp you get 10% off your bill and went through without a hassle with the server.
Food-wise I would give it 5-stars - we tried mostly oysters and their apps. The oysters were super fresh and they have a great variety! We tried their oyster combo platter which was $45 for a dozen with 3 types of oysters and after 10pm they have a special of $15 for a dozen of a specific type of oyster, both very well done. Of course the platter came with slightly more expensive oysters, but I won't lie, the $15 dozen ones were more delicious haha!
Their menu is quite small and we thought their appetizers looked more interesting. We tried the cured fish platter ($16), the chowder ($8), the mushroom salad ($10) and the seared scallops ($18). Not a single disappointment in the bunch! Seriously, try the fish platter, I was sooooo pleasantly surprised!! They had slices of tuna, octopus and salmon and another fish which I didn't know but all so fresh and delicious, almost like a western-style sashimi! The chowder was also creamy but light and packed full of seafood! Also, the sizes were generous and matched the price. With a drink each and the amount of food, my date and I were pleasantly full. Total was $156 for two people with tip included.
Service = 3 stars. I think the overall experience was slightly marred by the service. I have had better service elsewhere and I didn't think they were lacking in servers either. I felt it took a little too long to clear our table of the dishes and the reason this bothered me was because it was such a small table that I was afraid any movement would knock something off the table so it would have been nice if the dishes were removed soon after us finishing the food.
Overall, very good experience and I will definitely return for the oysters!
Tip: They have cool nightly specials and happy hour from 12-6pm for oysters and drinks and after 10pm for oysters! On Thursdays it is $100 for 100 oysters so bring your friends and slurp down a couple of these gems. Great vibe for a chill night with good company and delicious food.
