They do get pretty busy during lunch, so we had a 20-minute wait for seating by the bar. They offer a great variety of oysters and shuck them as you order them. The lobster roll was my favorite. The lemon aioli was perfect with the fresh-tasting lobster. The shoestring fries were crispy and stacked mountain-high. The kale was also really tasty. The clam chowder had more bacon than clam, but the flavor was delightful.

We ordered some east coast oysters, and two of the varieties had a very unappetizing smell. I have never seen this before. We could tell they were fresh but we couldn't get past it. So unfortunately we only had one type and returned the rest. They were very nice about it but it was a huge bummer. We also had the crab cake and branzino, both were really good, the sides were also all nicely executed. I would come back and give the oysters another try. Don't put paper on the tablecloths, either have white cloths or a nice table you can clean, this is a personal preference obviously.

I go back there today by myself at 2pm and was seated at the bar by the same host. Sat down at the bar the server was Kurt and pushing, which I am use to up here, did not even excuse herself or tell she was leaving. Kind of rude as a server. As I was finishing up I notice people coming 2:37pm, 2:45pm and 2:50pm and the same host that refused to serve us sat every one of them at a table. This was my first time eating this restaurant and after our experience the day before. It is not a good look. I do not think will eat there again. Derrick Poe

The original table they had for us wasn't great and they were more than happy for us to move. Now the bad part.. I think by moving tables we got a waiter that was too busy to attend to us. Now this is a fancy restaurant so we expect perfect service. It was fine but slow in my opinion. Now for the food, it was pretty tasty as usual. I had a delicious light salad and then had their signature salmon dish. Portion size was as perfect for both items! Others at the table were not as satisfied. The scallops were delicious but there were only three served, for how expensive this place was, they should have given a few more. The rice was not great. As for the other diners in my party, they were happy with their meals.

They did not have a happy hour, though their website had implied they did (maybe it's only in…read morewinter?). However, the food was very good (except my salad). The salad was just very basic, small, and sad for the price it cost to add it to my soup. As it was labeled a "house salad," I thought it would be similar in description to the house salad labeled on the menu under the "salads." It was a bit more basic than that. In the future, I probably wouldn't bother with adding it. The mashed potato option seemed more pricey than I thought it would be worth, so I opted not to do that. Their soups are very hearty and do not skimp. For the price point, I think this is pretty solid. Their drinks are also solid. The service was fast and kind. It was a great day to sit outside with some hearty soups on their patio.

It smells wonderful, like you were back at home, waiting on Sunday Supper when you enter. Definitely not fancy, but the staff quickly greets you with a warm friendly welcome smile and some great tips on what to expect. It seems like they are only willing to hype up whatever they are serving in a modest way, because they seem to really enjoy the over-the-top reactions that will follow, once the meal is served. Seriously, I had a cup of their clam chowder, and a bowl of the Habanero Chile and pork stew, with sliced bread and butter. Wow! The clam chowder was very good, but that stew was super delicious. It was so good, we had to go back the next evening to do it all over again. This time I ordered the Chicken and sausage stew, which was also delicious. I would have gone a third night, if I didn't have to get back to So Cal the next morning. The prices are very reasonable and the service is friendly, prompt and professional. I highly recommend this place and just pray they will be open when I return in October.
