Hannah NouMay 31, 2015The raw bar is TO DIE FOR—Freshest shrimp I've ever had. They serve them fresh every day. Cyprian, the bartender, is the best. They don't have a happy hour, but he'll make it a happy hour.Upvote5Downvote

Stephanie RosenbergNovember 10, 2013If you have a large party try the Lobster Fra Diavolo! It says it serves 2 but it can accommodate up to 4.

KonstantinAugust 15, 2017Good oyster bar. My food reviews about this place are mixed. Some are good, others are ok or average, nothing in particular to point out, other than the oysters. Fresh Fish on the grill is decent.UpvoteDownvote- Gregory WilsonAugust 8, 2011Cash or check only. No credit cards. Very lively. Very fresh seafood. Menu changes daily, written on a blackboard.UpvoteDownvote
