Reviews

We decided to eat lunch at a place on King street.
The weather was great so we decided to sit outside and listen to the live music.
We had been here before and loved the appetizer combo (shrimp, oysters, bacon wrapped scallops and calamari).
It was not on the lunch menu, but they fixed it for us anyway.
The shrimp was our favorite so we decided to place another order for just shrimp.
Great drink options.
Service was excellent.


We came to the restaurant as walk-ins, and it was a great experience.
Our group of six tried many items on the menu, and everyone was happy.
I personally had the lobster platter (pictured) and some bar oysters, which were excellent.
The portions were generous, and the quality was outstanding.
The servers were attentive, and even though the restaurant wasn’t too busy, it had a nice, relaxed, smart-casual atmosphere.
We would love to visit again when we’re back stateside.


Amazing atmosphere and tasting good.
All service staff were exceptionally excellent.
Food was affordable, large portions, and very fresh.
We are looking forward to going again.
