    Haven't been here in a while, it delivered excellent food & service as in the past. Happy hour oysters on half shell & other HH food are the bomb. Look no further for the absolutely best HH in Old Town.

    I love their full menu. I didn’t care too much for the brunch menu options but the cranberry/rosemary mimosa was good

    This was my first time at your restaurant, and it was amazing. Although options are limited for a vegan, the salads were amazing. The customer service was impeccable, and I highly recommend this restaurants, especially for those who love seafood. That said, as noted, although limited All dietary needs can be addressed.

    We enjoyed the oysters that were very meaty and tasty. The sauces that are presented with the oysters were awesome. We will be back!

    The kitchen lost the meal for one of our group of 4. They brought about 10 minutes later than the other 3 meals.
