    Really enjoyed the location, and we have considered that we have found our best seafood/oyster location in the Grand Central area. Will be back.

    Very surprised that the service was terrible , we waited over 15 minutes to be acknowledged at our table , once noticed it took over 15 minutes for a drink and and asked 3 times for a basket of bread - the restaurant was less then half full and left a frequent local spot not knowing if I’ll ever go back
