Oysters, truffle fries, Marseilles and Maine mussels are sinful. Yeah, sinful.
Rob MApril 21, 2013No joke mussels! Had the southern mussels, huge portion, no bad ones, high quality food, and bar service.
Amazing wait staff. Try the Oysters as an appetizer. Sitting at the bar is great, especially since tables are often full.
MeliJuly 16, 2014Overrated much? Nothing spectacular in terms of taste. Had the maine, fungi, little neck, and cleopatra mussels and all were rather mediocre, esp for a place that specializes in mussels! disappointed.
Just has the San Danielle and it was rich, overflowing with flavor -- almost decadent. Dee-lixious!
Harriet RushJuly 12, 2015The restaurant was too dark. I order the Fra Diavolo. It was not spicy at all, and it lacked flavor. The Parmesan Truffle Fries were greasy and soggy.
Fra diavlo. Extra spicy. Add calamari. ...and you might as well ask for more bread.
Order the fluffernutter donut. The pastry chef is perfection and on top chef this fall!!!!
Is it weird to end up having all the broth because it's so good you can't stop?
Emily LJanuary 17, 2016expensive for what you get! also service is not so good at the counter/bar area since it seems they only have 1 waiter

"There's no shortage of Irish Pubs in this area, but this one is a good choice, with wide open French doors in summer. And they have Goose Island IPA."
