    We made reservations for an 18th Birthday Party. We We greeted at the table with a little handwritten Birthday Note from the staff. What an amazing little touch! We of course had oysters...that came out quickly, were nice and clean, and so delicious! The drinks were ample and delicious...and the service was fast and attentive! For none seafood eaters the burger is really good! Cooked perfectly to ordere!

    What a great experience! Started the meal with lobster knuckles, calamari salad and Parker rolls. All were delicious. The lobster knuckles were loaded with herbed butter, the salad had tender calamari and I nice mix of greens. The Parker rolls were warm and buttery. Then came the 5 different varieties of oysters. Four were east coast, one was west coast. All fresh and clean. They were some of the best I ever had. I can’t wait to go back for more! Service was fantastic, too.

    Our server MaryBeth was terrific. Gave us the right amount of attention, was polite, professional and provided us with great information about our selections. The restaurant is lovely, warm and inviting. The food was fresh and delicious. We had several different types of oysters, some clams and the fresh salmon tartare. Great romantic spot too.
