   It was the perfect lunch..a meeting with a cousin I hadn't seen in two years. The bustle of the Christmas Market outside and then this warm oasis of the restaurant. A shucker"s plate of oysters, lovely bright and briny. Followed by plump mussels. Some fries. Key lime pie. Liam our server.... what a delightful young man. All of the staff were fun A thoroughly lovely time Thank you

   Unpretentious seafood restaurant in a beautiful setting in the distillery district. Feels very east-coast in its lovely yet casual interior. Lobster roll was the best I've had outside of the Maritimes/US east coast, truly delicious.

   Everything was great! Our server was awesome. Glad this place was on Opentable- from out of the country and unfamiliar with the area. Great oyster selection!

   The food was TERRIBLE. Out of the Maryland Crab Cake (stale), Malay Curry Wings (fair), Calamari Tempura (more tempura batter less squid), Grilled Fish Tacos (little to no fish) Poached Halibut (stale), Steak Frites (foul smell is an understatement), Hand Cut Fries and Baked Bread Basket was the only saving grace. The server was polite but disappeared time and again.

   Marina, thank you for giving us a try and for providing us with your feedback. We are deeply disappointed to hear that our food especially our Maryland Crab Cake, Malay Curry Wings, Calamari Tempura and several other dishes did not hit high on your expectations. We assure you that our Chef and his team put a lot of care and consideration when sharing comforting and delicious cuisines. Regardless, we would have loved to replace anything that wasn’t to your liking. We have taken your feedback very seriously and will be passing it along and hope that we can impress you more the next time you choose to treat yourself. Best Regards, Stuart K.

   We went for the oysters and we were not disappointed! Both our server (long time server of Pure Spirits whose name sadly forget) and the manager served us and chatted about the oyster we had ordered. Overall we lived all the food we ordered and the attentiveness of our server.

   Great selection of oysters! Most importantly was the service we received from Iona. So lovely and knowledgeable. Very focused on making the meal memorable and special. Ask for her by name and tip generously.

    The food is alright but a bit overpriced. They charge extra for horseradish and lemon on top of the oysters we already ordered. The server is somewhat rude and rushing us. The environment is amazing tho.

    Gia-Minh, thank you for giving us a try and for providing us with your review. While we are delighted that you enjoyed the environment of our restaurant, we are saddened to hear that our food and service never hit high on your expectations. We encourage guests to speak to a manager about any concerns they have during their visit so we have the opportunity to turn things around in the moment. That said, we would love to encourage you to let us create a better experience for you in the future, should you choose to dine with us again. Best Regards, Stuart K.
