- My go-to spot for anyone - fantastic menu, always excellent service and the music is always on-point. Perfect for dates, family dinners, visitors, or just grabbing $1 Oysters at Happy Hour.
AnnaOctober 12, 2015Oysters are the bomb! Good classic drinks (except for the part where there is too much garnish in your glass), shaken - not so much. Huge whiskey selection. Delicious food menu
