    We have enjoyed this reataurant each time we visit. If you love oysters, these are flown in FRESH several times a week. You feel as if you are in Maine when you eat them! The staff is wonderful and worth a GOOD TIP! We especially love coming here on Valentine’s Day. We have done so for several years and decided THIS is where we will celebrate each year! The owner, John Melody is very personable and professional in his dealings with his customers. He goes out of his way to make sure you are taken care of no matter what the situation might be! Thanks to John & his staff for another wonderful dining experience. See you soon!
