Crystal TangMay 10, 201520 oysters, 2 clam chowder, 1 salad, cost 113 after tax, a bit over priced because oysters weren't as amazing as people says. They were tiny and not too fresh, Can get better quality at somewhere else
Pen DSeptember 7, 2013If you take home some leftovers, check how they pack your doggie bag before you leave the resto. Pic of mine attached when I got home. Can't eat it anymore and won't be going back.
- Renata Zambello FurtadoOctober 13, 2015Oysters + mac n cheese with salmon + creme brulee very good. Really nice service as well!
- Tatyana VolkovaSeptember 1, 2019Very tasty , oysters are super , and all other food is just perfect.
Bob SaladApril 25, 2011The oysters we had were amazing! The sauces were so good. And they had all u can eat muscles which were incredible

Shawn KimSeptember 3, 2017Tip, just don't eat here. Cream based food=salty, everything else=no seasoning whatsoever. Seafood? Fresh? Um... OHKAY.... SUUUUURE.
- Euan WhiteAugust 18, 2012Don't forget to order the calamari - light tempura and the fish just melts in your mouth.
Dijay JadiyaMay 11, 2012Before having a meal, ask for the dessert menu and order the cheese platter with some veno ;)
Rob TyrieMay 26, 2012See Tyler at the bar. He is an oyster genius. Ask about ancient Roman condiments.
Jerremy BaptisteJuly 24, 2016The oyster bar is the best but the price is not for the average folk 2out of 10 service
Try the Chef’s daily selection of Sorbets - The green apple sorbet was tasty!
TOsimonMay 7, 2012First Tuesday of every month = oyster shucking competition , then $1.50 oysters afterwards
- Try the Chai Crème Brûlée - This was #tasty! Well done @spiritspure
Beril EsenJanuary 26, 2015Unfortunately the food looks better than it tastes here. The Brie appetizer, however, was quite tasty.
Bhaskar MurthyJune 2, 2013Very slow service. Be prepared to wait. Oysters are delicious, and they usually have good selection available.
Lindsay AndersonFebruary 10, 2012Food and drink is good but service sucks. You need to ask to be served, otherwise you will be sitting without a drink for a long time.
