My husband and I met with some friends here recently for dinner. We overall enjoyed the oysters we ordered. Was very fresh and tasted fantastic. Other dishes we had were the fish sandwich, Tybee shrimp and grits, and I believe some kind of fried rice that one of our friend ordered. The restaurant reminds my husband and I of some of the foods we had while in St. Simons which was very pleasant for us. That how fresh we felt the seafoods was. Next time we’re in Athen we will for sure stop by again.

Always busy and loud, and that's part of the atmosphere. Great bartenders! It's worth the wait for a table, or sit at the bar and eat there. Great oyster selection! The clam chowder is really good.

I was in Georgia recently and decided to stop here for dinner. It is a really small place, I'm going to guess about 25 seats inside and there are some seats outside on the patio also. I was greeted at the door and they sent me at a two top near the window at the end of the restaurant. I had a friendly server and he did his job well. It was nice inside and I don't recall music playing but there was a lot of chatter from the closeness of everybody and it seemed to be sort of a neighborhood place. I ordered the fish house punch which was a cocktail that was rum based. It was a decent cocktail. I saw they had many different oyster choices but I am not an oyster fan so I did not partake in those today. They also had a fish and chips special which was fried grouper but I was not interested in a fried fish dish although it did have a very reasonable price point. To kick off my meal I ordered the kale chop salad and OMG am I glad I did. This was the best kale salad I have ever eaten. I would actually love to have the recipe if you all are listening. There was nothing skimpy about this salad and boy was it full flavor. It had lacinato kale, roasted sweet potatoes, pecans, apples, pickled red onions, blue cheese, and it was all done in a red miso vinaigrette. I will be thinking about this salad for a while. For my meal I ordered something off of their snack menu called a crispy scallion pancake and this differs from okonomiyaki because it is basically fried on the outside to make it crispy. On top of the pancake was blue crab, spicy mayo, radish, and a sesame vinaigrette. I also ordered another cocktail to go along with this, the Cassis and Desist I of course had to order dessert but the dessert that I wanted was on their menu but they did not have it so they had a substitute for it which was a chocolate ganache dense cake and I do not remember the surrounding thicker cream sauce but it was a very rich dessert. I ordered a espresso martini along with the dessert. Overall, it was a very good meal and nice cocktails but the standout to me was the kale salad I would definitely give this place another try to try a couple other things on their menu.

Very small menu but what they do serve has always been delightful . The hours could be expanded. Service is a hit and miss depending on how many people show up to work that day

Loved this place! came on a Friday for date night, and there was a bit of wait, but nothing crazy, and very accommodating. We were seated outside, and the service was pretty good. I got 2 oysters to try and they were so fresh and delicious with the mignonette! We got the bowl, calamari, mussels, and scallop fried rice. The fried rice was so good and the scallop chunks were well cooked. The mussels went so well with the green curry. The calamari was okay, but you don't get a ton because they mix it in fries. Overall, it's good portions, good food, good vibes.

Best oysters in town! Best service in town! Great bar and lobster roll is a second choice if not an oyster fan.
Cecilia Spears
Absolutely astonishing! The service was impeccable and the food was amazing. I have been an oyster lover since I was able to fully digest solid food and I've got to say the quality of their oysters are a solid 8 out of 10, almost a 9. They are high quality. Made the mistake of going on game day but it was easy to make because it was so well organized. Beautiful restaurant. My number one favorite in Athens thus far. Pricey as frig though, so, sadly I won't be able to come as often as I want but I'm definitely looking forward to returning!

We waited two and a half hours. we got there at 6 and the hostess said it'd be an hour wait. We kept checking in and she kept saying "there's X groups ahead of you." MeanwhIle, we saw people in larger groups who came after us be seated before us. Possible racism, as we were the only Black people there. The hostess said "you're up next" but other groups were called before us. At 8:30, we left. Don't think they would've called us. We've been before and the food was nothing worth waiting three hours for.
