Amazing service. Food came out "later than they wouldve liked" and they offered a free round of drinks to "pass the time". How many places can say the same?

Super disappointed. The world’s smallest lobster roll for $40. Compared to previous photos, it looks like it’s shrunk.

Margaret is an amazing hostess, your lucky if you get her. Ask for the beat east coast oysters - get 3. Get the urchin for the table, followed by either the steak or the waitstaffs favorite fish.

Complimentary chips and vinegar aioli are great. Also some of the freshest oysters around

Sea urchin appetizer is amazing but the salmon tartar was even better. Best entree at our table was the catfish. All very very good.
