Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
We ate here for our anniversary. Ordered three appetizers, two entrees, four cocktails, two desserts and a coffee...came to about $300. I even said that the scallops meal was literally the best meal of my life. Everything was really very good. Yet, all we can talk about is how they charge $8 for bread! Bread, that has been included in meals everywhere, especially seafood restaurants. We couldn't get over how offensive that was. If there is a cost issue, add a dollar to all the menu items. I wouldn't blink an eye at paying $57 for scallops instead of $56 or whatever. But, psychologically, it's downright offensive to charge for bread in a nice place like this. Anyway, it left us with a bad taste and there is no shortage of nice seafood restaurants around that aren't charging for bread, so we'll go there. We actually didn’t even want any bread...it's just the principle of it.
Almost perfect! These guys do seafood right! Ordered the oysters and they were beautiful. Taste of the sea. Some sweet. Some salty. All delicious. The lobster roll with duck fat fries were brilliant! Tender lobster. Crispy fries. A near perfect dish - we didn't particularly like the truffle oil aioli, but that's a personal preference. Overall, scrumptious! The surf and turf was hit-and-miss. The grilled lobster was perfectly cooked. Sweet and tender dipped in melted butter. Yes! The steak was a miss. While it was cooked to a medium rare, it was not a great cut. A lot of fat that was not cooked and making the piece chewy. Surf, yes. Turf, no! And the sourdough bread was fantastic!! This is tough. I wanted it to work. For now, it's one-and-done.
Great patio for dining, plenty of shade and pleasant even in July. Service was friendly, attentive. Oysters were big and flavorful, steak was cooked perfect. Oh, how could I forget the fabulous Espresso Martini! Definitely worth a revisit! 🥂
First of all I would give 5/5 for the vibe of the restaurant, and your bill comes out in an antique book with other guests’ messages which is very fun. Now onto the food: sourdough bread with butter is amazing! Hot and fresh, and the butter goes well with it. Other than that we didn’t like anything else we ordered. The clam chowder is mainly potatoes and bacon with minimal chowder or seafood taste. It would be a great potato soup but unfortunately not what I’d call a clam chowder. Crab claws varied in freshness. We also got steamed clams, calamari, and seared tuna - they are okay but I would not order again.
Food was very good. The dishes were served with flavorful sauces. And, Servise was excellent. Our server went out of her way to make us happy. Even modified my wife dinner to fit her tastes. Watch out for the Tito Oyster Shooters, they are good but lots of liquor. The fresh oysters were very fresh and taste just like the ocean. Clean and fresh. The fresh shrimp cocktails were large and clean, the cocktail sauce was spicy with fresh horseradish. And the other stand out was the potato fries in duck fat. Sounds heavy but there were light and just the right amount of crunch to the skin. We were so full we couldn’t do dessert. I like the decor. We will be back. More Oyster shooters and we want to try the fresh fish next time.
