We went during happy hour, which was awesome. Cocktails from the specialty menu were all three dollars off. Oysters are buy one for a dollar so we bought a dozen. Of course they were amazing. We also ordered from the early bird prefix menu, which I didn’t realize they had until we got there. I was able to get the linguine and clams, which were delicious. Plus a bowl of New England Clam chowder for a great price.
