   The place was relatively quiet on this Wednesday night in early October. The local raw oysters were excellent, as was the local grouper special. There was a large variety of Flying Machine beers to choose from, though no porters or stouts. Our server Charlie was friendly and professional, as was Josh the bartender. The restaurant space is open and welcoming, with two small bars for additional seating - one in front of the bartender, and one in front of the oyster shucking station.

   Outstanding - the staff was professional and attentive. You can tell that they enjoy their work. Molly was our server. She was knowledgable about the menu and a very delightful personality. One of our new favorite places!

   Wow really impressed. Great drinks, amazing food, service was outstanding. Will for sure be back. Gotta try that spicy watermelon oyster shooter, it’s so tight.

   I ordered the special baked oysters. They were delicious but I was expecting a much larger oyster. These oysters were about 3/4”long. (There were 6 of them). They were served alone with no crackers so I was still hungry. I looked for something on the menu that would be quick to supplement ~ hummus. By the time it got there my husband had completely finished his meal of a seafood platter and a cup of chowder. My drink(club soda) was never refilled the entire time we were there. ‘ My husband’s fried platter was fabulous. The breading was a “tempura type” The noise level was not good. We sat on the opposite side of the restaurant and I could make out what a man at the bar was saying to his companion. There were also more children there than I expected. Not sure where our waitress was the entire time. I kept looking for her to refill my drink but she was no where to be found. The food is very good but not sure we’ll go back. The poor service left a bad taste in my mouth.
