Chris KonecnyFebruary 13, 2016I may have something to learn here but their definition of seafood gumbo is different than mine... Brothy and no seafood! I mentioned this and they brought more of the same. That said broth was great
Kat IngallsFebruary 20, 2017Great seafood spot for a drink or a nice dinner. Oysters were big and flavorful (dozen for $14), grilled bass with homemade gnocchi was incredible ($12).
Jim ElkinsMay 14, 2016Amazing Oysters. Balsamic vinaigrette dressing is really strong on the salad so use it sparingly. Service was amazing. The gnocchi and seared scallops excellent
Rick ClaytonAugust 2, 2016Oysters were amazing for happy hour. Madeline (long version) did a fantastic job taking great care of us AND knew her beer!
JonnaAugust 26, 2017The raw oyster selection is great. The lobster roll was tasty & the crab dip app is really a must have!
Coletta RobertsJune 22, 2016The oyster are not Florida Great but the peal and eat shrimp was awesome, the cocktail sauce was extra spicy, I loved it.
Kindall HFebruary 25, 2015Good food, great drinks, and fun bartenders. I defiantly recommend the upstairs area for a more intimate atmosphere.
Be sure to go upstairs Thursday-Saturday and order a "Gentleman's Choice" from Corey. Best damn drink in town.
Matt McCauleySeptember 25, 2011Sam is the best! This place is the best! If you don't come here and enjoy everything they have here, you are the dumbest person ever!
Adam HarrisMarch 26, 2013If you've never had an oyster shooter, go for it. And the Trigger bites are good. Good happy hour.
The tuna salad and fish tacos are both amazing. If you want good service at the bar cross your fingers and hope the short brunette is working, otherwise its a gamble.
Robert NeilJune 11, 2011If you have a chance to come, get Lisa for your server. She is super hot and a great server. Best I've had in a long time.
Anand SDecember 11, 2011Try the lobster roll, they're delicious! Also, get the oyster sampler, you won't be disappointed!
Shawn RossiNovember 10, 2011Also the red wine vinegar dipping sauce served with the raw oysters is out of this world!- Travis WolletSeptember 18, 2010Great atmosphere and the best Oyster Shooters anywhere. Check it out and get a dozen on the half shell.
- Shawn RossiNovember 10, 2011Baked Oysters Rockefeller and the homemade chips with blue cheese dipping sauce. Yum!
Alexandre MunhozJuly 19, 2018A seafood chain. Not exciting but consistent service. Missing more non deep fried options
Always eat your steamed/raw oysters on a salteen cracker with hot sauce and cocktail sauce!! The best!!
- ChrisJuly 28, 2010Killer Happy Hour every day from 4-7. $2.50 oyster shooters, $3 champagne, $2.50 draft.
