    Oysters were excellent and entrees were very good as well. Very nice signature drinks, but they were a little on the small side for what they cost.

    We were sat at a table for two so tiny our drinks and apps didn’t fit. The dirty martini ordered was only half of the glass. The specialty elderflower cocktail was overly sweet. The oysters were excellent. The burnt ends came with refrigerator cold fried onions. Not heated up . The catfish dinner was supposed to be over bok choy but was instead presented on a bed of red peppers and cooked cucumbers. A truly disappointing dinner

    Our meal of oysters, seafood dip and crab cakes was delicious. We had our 2yo with us and our server was absolutely fantastic with her. We are from out of town but eat here 3-4 times a year and it is always fantastic.
