Great spot to go.
Love the vibe.
High ceilings and plenty of light. Food was really good.
Oysters were great as well as the other options they have. Went on a Sunday evening with friends and had to wait a bit but not bad.
Their bar next door had amazing drinks too where you can wait.

If you have NEVER experienced fresh oysters 🦪 I would definitely EAT HERE! I would highly recommend making a reservation.
This place is incredibly popular.
😋 A fantastic variety of fresh oysters 🦪 My boyfriend and I had never had fresh ones like these.
Honestly, we didn’t know much about how many different kinds and flavors oysters 🦪 can have! 🙌 The menu has all the names of the different types and it can be daunting if you have little knowledge of oysters 😅 However, our server directed us to try her favorites and educated us about the sweet vs.
brine-y.
She also said, “—there’s no wrong way to oyster! 🦪 “ Every oyster 🦪 we tried was shucked fresh and had been delivered that same day.
The owners of the restaurant are very involved and hand pick different oysters on a daily basis! So, it is very likely there will be a different menu selection each time you visit! Atmosphere was super fun! All the tables are very close together and really made the dinner experience unique.
😌 One of my favorite items was the bread 🥖 and butter 🧈! The butter was so delicious with large rock salt in it! Highly recommended!!!

I was going for sea food but ended up loving the veggies.
Really, the roasted leeks were remarkable and the kohlrabi (an interesting root I had never tried) was well rounded with peppers and creamy dressing.
The rest of the dishes were very good but cold and I was craving something warm as it is October.
Excellent service and environment.
Loved the music.
