On this visit, a Tuesday, I enjoyed the half-price oyster offer with a full dozen. That was followed by the lamb shank. I requested a different accompaniment—pappardelle instead of orzo—and this was done, no problem. Delicious! As always, the experience was enjoyable. I went early in the evening to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. If you’re there late on Thursday through Saturday, you’re in for some raucous partying. So choose accordingly.
