What to Order
Oysters
Freshly shucked oysters, often served with a variety of sauces including a spicy East Coast option and a flavorful ginger chutney.
"The oysters were fresh and we tried all the accompanying sauces, the east coast “blow your socks off” was HOT! The ginger chutney had a bit of heat and was really tasty."
Samantha Anderson
Lobster Roll
A classic lobster roll featuring tender lobster meat, lightly dressed, served on a bakery-made brioche bun.
"I had the lobster roll, which was very tasty. Not too much mayonnaise...just how I like it! ... The lobster roll was really good, the flavor of the lobster really shone and was not overpowered by the celery, which was nice. The bakery made brioche bun was amazing!"
Trisha Kuma
Calamari
Crispy fried calamari, often prepared with a Cajun seasoning, perfect for sharing as an appetizer.

Le Grand Jake Seafood Platter
A generous seafood platter for groups, featuring oysters, shrimp cocktail, bronzed scallops, a chilled Cuban lobster tail, and tuna poke with chips.
"For groups of four or five, Le Grand Jake is an excellent choice: a generous seafood platter featuring 12 oysters (shucker’s choice), 8 shrimp cocktail, 4 bronzed scallops, a chilled Cuban lobster tail, and tuna poke with chips. It’s a bit pricey, but absolutely worth it to sample a variety of seafood."
