What to Order
Oysters
Fresh, briny oysters, often with a variety of regional selections, served with perfect accompaniments like blueberry habanero sauce and freshly shaved horseradish.
"The food is far above what I've had at similarly priced establishments downtown... Beef tartare and the oysters were spot on."
Matthew Briffett
Korean Chicken
Juicy and crispy chicken, packed with flavor, sometimes served as a waffle sandwich.
"Korean Chicken was juicy, crispy, and full of flavor. Korean Fries, seriously? Yum 😋"
Stephanie Gaslard
Cod Fish Taco
Fresh fish tacos with fantastic sauce, praised for their delicious and moreish qualities.
"Cod Fish Taco!!! If I didn't eat too much already, I could have had a full plate of those morish beauties."
Stephanie Gaslard
Lobster Roll
A highly sought-after dish, consistently described as delicious and a must-try for lobster lovers.
"I ordered the lobster roll which was TO DIE FOR."
Stacey Beda
Tuna Crispy Rice
A creative dish featuring raw fish on crispy rice, noted for its exceptional flavor and presentation.
"We also had some amazing oysters and then moved on to tuna rice cakes which again, I usually don't order raw fish but this dish was so damn good!"
Chaf Haddad
Pork Belly Dumplings
Flavorful dumplings that are part of a menu praised for bold flavors and creative twists.
"We had the local oysters (the best I’ve ever had!) with this sweet-and-spicy berry hot sauce, pork belly dumplings, garlic noodles, tuna crispy rice, and the cod bites — each one better than the last."
