This was our first time here and three of us had an enjoyable luncheon. Service was excellent and it is a comfortable setting. Furthermore, prices are reasonable and it has a large menu. The oyster stew was very good and my po Boy was excellent. The mahi mahi accompanying the salad was very good as well. I am giving this restaurant a 4 rather than a 5 because the salads were bland. They need more vegetables and more exciting salad dressing. It would have been great if bread was also served.

Wonderful place to start off the New Year!
I enjoyed plump oysters from the raw bar, oysters Rockefeller, and my guest enjoyed clam chowder!
Atmosphere was great, easy to talk!
Eric was great in his service and so friendly!
Great beer selection and full bar!

I’m sure it’s been mentioned in other reviews, but there are no reservations here. We saw all the hype and decided to give it a try, not realizing the wait would be about an hour to an hour and a half. We figured if it’s that busy, it must be worth it, so we walked around the boardwalk until our table was ready.
The service was great and our waitress was very nice. We started with oysters and calamari. The calamari literally melted in my mouth, hands down the best I’ve ever had. The oysters were fine, but honestly not worth the hype. My fiancée had the shrimp po’boy with fries, she thought the sandwich was alright and the fries were way too salty. I had the crab cakes, which were really good.
The place is definitely on the pricier side, but it seems like they use fresh, local ingredients and overall the quality is great. A solid spot and worth trying at least once
