We ordered a sampling of the grilled oysters. All oysters were teeny-tiny. There was more topping than meat. Flavors were okay, nothing special. The fried monterey rockfish was outstanding. Coating light and crispy. Fish moist and flaky. 3 pieces came with plate. We opted for salad instead of fries, which was nice and fresh.
