The Walrus and the Carpenter is a gem for oyster lovers! 🦪

We dined there on a Sunday evening and although we had to wait a bit, the vibrant atmosphere made it worthwhile. The highlights were definitely the fresh oysters, expertly shucked and delivered that day. Our server guided us through the menu, which was initially overwhelming, but her recommendations were spot-on!

Every bite of the lemon-glazed halibut and steak tartare was a delight, but the standout was the bread served with large crunchy rock salt. The cozy, trendy vibe made for a memorable dining experience! Highly recommend making a reservation for this popular spot! 😋🥖
