I see the future of a great addition to the Pittsburgh restaurant scene. There were a few kinks, but they just opened a week ago. Suspend your judgement. The first bite of my lobster roll brought me to memories of some of the best lobster rolls I tried in Boston. I thought the flavor of the lobster roll was amazing, but it should have came with a lemon wedge. We went back and forth about the chowder but I ultimately decided that the flavors were unique and delicious. It's not your typical thick, creamy chowder, but it's thinner with a Smokey, baconey, thinner consistency flavored soup. I really enjoyed it, but it's definitely different. The oysters were tatsty, a little sandy but you know... they're from the ocean. I enjoyed the mignonette and the flavor of the sea. There was no wait and plenty of seats everywhere. I ordered the celery gimlet drink, which lacked celery flavor and should have been a little bit sweeter (or made with gin) like a typical gimlet.
Overall, I'll definitely be back. You can never have too many oyster joints in a city.
