Alexis T.September 27, 2014LOVE the $1 oyster deal! Always tasty & fresh. But wasnt a huge fan of their crab deviled eggs; they were a bit dry tasting. Also wish they had more happy hour drink options; they got rid of cocktails
The $1 "buck-a-shuck" happy hour special is one of the best deals you can get around. Their appetizers are all delicious too!
MatheusOctober 10, 2012Amazing service. Waiters John and Sean are the best. Get a Grey Goose dirty martini and a dozen of oysters and you have yourself an amazing dinner!
34th Street MagazineNovember 6, 2012Surprisingly affordable happy hour specials Mon–Fri from 5 to 7PM: $1 oysters, $3 Troegs and Victory seasonal drafts, $4 wine, and five appetizers for $5 each. Read more
Bre BonnerSeptember 16, 2015If you've never been here before but you're interested in trying it, go for happy hour. Trying the $5 appetizers!!
John GMarch 17, 2013Love eating at the bar. A dozen oysters and a Guinness. Doesn't get any better. Ben is great behind the bar.
Stéphanie NamMarch 2, 2015Worth it for brunch and happy hour! It's a good price and there's always seating at these hours.
Stephanie RivkinMarch 22, 2015The seafood Cobb was great. Also, the place looks small from the outside, but inside it's extensive.
Joshua LeeOctober 25, 2014Desserts are awesome. But be careful. If you ask them to show it too you, you will not be able to turn it down.
ChrisSeptember 29, 2013Outdoor dining along with lots of different settings of indoor areas to choose from.
LyndseyApril 14, 2013Pricey but pretty good. Happy hour is decent. Try the ahi tuna. Small portion for the cost but not bad. Good place for dinner before a show at the Annenberg.
$1 buck-a-shuck oysters at happy hour are a good deal
JoeySeptember 25, 2012If you love oysters like I love oysters you will go fucking wild at this place! 
A perfect place to go if you're seeking a good seafood restaurant around this area.
Barrett LaneNovember 10, 2012Big portions and big prices. I imagine this place is much better for happy hour.
Food is fine but the staff really need some more training. Service is pretty crappy.

"Ordered many small things, didn’t have a main, everything was great. Waiter told us to skip the tartares so we did. The second ceviche and the sardine toast are standouts."
