J's Oyster truly delivers a delightful seaside dining experience! 🌊 I indulged in the rich lobster stew, which was packed with generous chunks of tender lobster - comfort food at its finest. The outdoor seating offers a lovely view, making every bite even more enjoyable. The broiled haddock was also a hit, nicely paired with rice. Service was prompt and friendly, keeping the vibrant atmosphere alive. Just a heads up, be prepared for a bit of a wait! A lovely spot for seafood lovers.
