Fresh oysters, lived up to its billing. Sea cows were a hit!
Annie WangMarch 23, 2015The waitress recommended the grilled oyster with sriracha sauce and it was really delish!
Jennifer BurlingtonAugust 14, 2014You'll never be able to eat classic clam chowder after getting it here. Soooo good!
Nicole KukasDecember 31, 2012Amazing oysters. Grilled cheese was gooey and crunchy. Clam chowder is different but tasty.
Larry HozeJanuary 10, 2012Save room for baked oysters - casino and rockefeller in particular- and jam a piece of bread in there to get the juice. Greg rocks.
Go at sunset and you have front row seats to see the LED light show on the Bay Bridge
Jen Nunn-IwaiMay 18, 2011Not a huge oyster fan but their Kusshi was delicious, along with their grilled cheese sandwich & clam chowder. Would definitely recommend to friends.
Kelly GrierMay 16, 2014The ceviche was off the chain...and sweet water oysters - never been so sad to finish a meal!
Bri UAugust 2, 2010Wow! You MUST order the Clam Chowder...will have to say it is the best I've ever had! Also helps with the chilly bay breeze!
Lisa POctober 11, 2011Sit at the bar, order a dozen and a bottle of moscato with a loved one and while away the afternoon luxuriously
