Finally found my favorite fresh seafood spot in the valley! Wow. What a hidden gem. So glad I found out about this place from a friend after seeing her amazing looking food pics on Snapchat!
My husband and I came for lunch on a Saturday and it turned out it was "National Oyster Day!" Luckily there was no wait and we were greeted right away. Our service was wonderful throughout the dining experience and everyone we encountered was super friendly and efficient. Ambience was really upbeat, laid back, and an open bar feel. We noticed they were setting up outdoor seating with another bar area, which I'm sure gets pretty busy and looks great in the evening.
Now to the food - it was superb! We tried the salt and pepper calamari with the Thai dipping sauce -- omg so good - may have been the best I've ever had! The sauce with peppers gave it a nice kick and was so flavorful. Definitely getting that again! We also ordered a few sushi rolls which were incredibly fresh and loved the unique combinations offered. I believe one had macadamia nuts inside and another had almonds. Those flavors merged well with the fresh shrimp, crab and other delicious fillings. Feeling daring, my husband tried the raw oysters and surprisingly really liked them. The cocktail sauce, horseradish and other tangy sauce they were served with really enhanced the oyster flavor. Since we were filling up, we decided to split the crab cake blt and it was also excellent.
Next time I'm saving room for dessert. The couple next to us ordered some sort of merengue pie and it was HUGE. Being the nosy girl I am, I had to lean over and ask how it was -- they said it was to die for! I overheard the manager telling them the flourless chocolate cake is also her favorite and is served with an amazing flavorful gelato.
Yum yum yum. Can't wait to return and show this place off to our friends visiting from out of town!
