    This seafood restaurant is a find for those who straddle the downtown and South of Market area. The menu divides the bivalves by coasts and there are five from the west and four from the east. Read more

    Hidden in a dark alley this seafood restaurant stands out from many in the city. It has a bar with a happy hour menu featuring $1 Oysters and a wide selection of syncretic beers on tap.

    I knew this was the right place when we saw the beer menu. Best oyster I've ever had—I cherished the shell as a keepsake until I realized that was weird. Everything was AMAZING (except the snails).

    Come here for happy hour! $1 oysters! Oh and try the angels on horseback you will not be disappointed.

    Pretty sure these are the most potato tasting French fries I've had in awhile. The beer and wine list is huge, whatever cocktail I had tastes like cool-aid, in a good way, and free chips with aioli.

    My first time there, but my clam chowder and home-made seafood pasta with shrimps and scallops are both excellent. And that Sauvignon Blanc wine... I don't normally like white wine, even.

    We were here for oysters during happy hours. And I was extremely happy with the freshness of oysters. It's juicy, tasty with hint of sweetness and saltiness. You don't need any dipping sauce!

    BEST CLAM CHOWDER EVAH! Made w/ bacon base! Quite thin not thik & pasty like chowda made w/ heavy cream. You can really taste flavors of the individual ingredients. Try it for sure with bread to dip

    Fish of the day: whole roasted branzino with mushrooms, potatoes and rosemary $36. Delicata squash with XO sauce $12. Skip brussel sprouts $9

    Free house made crisps with aioli & crispy calamari with Thai spicy sauce were best. Skip Branzino Crudo & mussels. Get chocolate fondant & strawberry shortcake

    It's all about the lobster roll and beer selection. Just the right amount of seasoning and mayo make this lobster roll the best one west of Cambridge.

    Raw Oysters, daily menu, waiters recommend great wines bc they know what they are talking about, try "oysters on horseback" and top it off with a little of every dessert on the menu!

    Another tasteless lobster roll. Excellent homemade tater tots though. Good service, clean & trendy spot.

    The lobster roll is amazing and they don't skimp on the claw meat. Start with the angels on horseback too.

    Get the best of all worlds with their seafood plateaux (M.P., available in small, large and grand), piled high with oysters, shrimp, crab remoulade and beyond. Read more

    Really nice "arty-ocean-warehouse" vibe. Love the Minna St location. Cool, but not overly trendy. Nice white wines and raw seafood.

    Fish and chips are always good, but these were the best I've ever had. It's hard to make such a classic dish memorable, but they did it.

    Great place for a power lunch. Full service menu and I'm always out with 35-45mins with a full and happy tummy! Try the calamari and Seared Tuna (olive tapenade is fab)

    Everything is divine. Must haves: oysters, beet salad, salmon tartare, softshell crab sandwich, THE FRIES, and the dark chocolate mousse. Absolutely sinful! And a gorgeous space. Loved every bite...

    Generally, I order Crab wherever I go, but I have never seen or consumed one this size before. Wonderful. Oh and the Beers and selection? Out of this world.

    Upscale seafood in a converted warehouse. It’s great for a business lunch – try the “Angels on Horseback” and the Lobster Roll with a side of Stevie’s Coleslaw.
  • Wilson F.heart icon on user image
    Fish dishes on the over complicated side and detrimental to the produce. Stick to the oyster and beer selection.

    Came here during happy hour. Super busy, but we were able to make a reservation ahead. Love the oysters and Angels on Horseback, but most fried food was a bit salty.

    The lobster roll is the house specialty, but for my money the "Angels on Horseback" (bacon-wrapped baked oysters) win every time.

    Delicious seafood. Simple ingredients but put together beautifully. The lobster sandwich is the signature dish and worth it.

    Their oyster game is on point. The only true con is an unfortunate lack of martinis. Strong local beer selection though.

    Lunch Service is a bit slow, somehow the draft beer is also always a bit flatter than it should be. This was the 3rd time in a row both this was true sadly.
