    Our server only allowed us to run 6 cards even though we had a party that took up a large portion of the place. He also kept rushing us to order more, but when we ordered, they would be out of it.

    Sake Oyster Shooter is terrific. $7 for a teacup of the punch of the day is a little much.

    The crabcakes are the best and the fried oysters are orgasmic!!!. I don't get the deal with their mac n cheese however... I thought it was pretty bland. Stick to the seafood. Great stuff!

    Great food but service was very slow. And our glass of wine had a hair in it. They were very slow to replace it, without an apology.

    Get your oysters raw. The roasted ones the way they're prepared here are a great way to ruin an oyster.

    Good seafood, but avoid the hash-- it's drowned in some sort of sauce.
