    Great restaurant for a date night or catch up with friends. I liked the fact that street parking was plentiful and the restaurant had a lot of open space. Our group started with the grilled oysters and calamari. Oysters had a great buttery flavor and the calamari was standard. The beet and salmon salad was delicious and fresh. For our mains we had the Ribeye, gumbo, and pasta with scallops. The gumbo was packed with seafood and flavor, a must get. The ribeye was standard, but ours came a little over cooked. Lastly if you are looking for a cheesy seafood pasta they got it. I liked this restaurant a lot from the food, the staff, and the ambiance.

    Food is great, they have all their seafood down pat. Cocktails are pretty good. Service is slow, had to ask to get water refilled. Servers are friendly. All hard surfaces in the dining room make it loud. They keep it cold inside - several other guests were wearing coats. Dinner for two with drinks but without desert was $200.

    The service was good, food was delicious, the oysters were surprising giant size this time, usually it's smaller, so I ordered 12 for just the 2 of us dining, it was very filling that I ended up taking my Rib eye entree to go.

    We went for lunch and both had the Fish & Chips which were excellent. Three pieces of fish came with freshly fried chips and a side of slaw. We had great service from our waiter, Mauricio. Highly recommended.

    This is a down to earth restaurant, old school wood dominated ambience, great for Oysters, esp the 1$ special, we enjoyed especially the tomato basil soup and the smoker trout deviled eggs. Can’t say too much about the entrees as we normally order apeterizers only.
