Oysters and service were good, but it was loud and overpriced. Added $10 to a $36 plate when we asked for grouper. Kept trying to get us to "oscar" anything to run up the price further. 4 people wanted to take my salad plate which I wanted to keep, but i gave it up finally so they would stop asking. Crabcakes were terrible; wet, mushy, and tasteless. And barely warm with reheated French fries. I don't see what all the hype is about, but they took the crab off the bill.

Where do I start?! The moment you step in the door you know it will be an experience. Start with oysters on the half shell, she crab soup, and then filet and lobster. We ended with apple bread pudding alamode. Off the charts amazing! Friendly service!

Put near the door on a winter night made for such an uncomfortable setting we had wine and oysters and did not stay for dinner. Cold and uncomfortable Told the hostess the reason and received such a bland non-response it made me feel even worse about the

A great place to get some oysters.Attentive, down to earth staff.Non-Oyster items' prices are a bit higher than some places, so I would stick to oysters and springboard off that as a starter for your evening.Delicious food, great service.Numerous seating options are not super ideal. Somewhat loud.Parking: Park down the road, if there is anything available. Difficult to find a spot near the restaurant.

Restaurant says it opens at 4:30pm. I called at 4:35pm to place a pick up order and was told they have already taken all the to-go orders they are going to allow for the evening. When I asked how that is possible when they’ve been open 5 minutes, I was told “oh, people call as early as 3pm to place takeout orders. So they are advertised closed yet taking orders so when customers follow their instructions stating they aren’t open until 4:30pm, they are simply refused service. If you call when they are closed, performing the tasks necessary to open at 4:30pm, preventing the restaurant from honoring the hours advertised, you are rewarded with your order being taken prior to opening and served. So just don’t be courteous or show any respect for the posted restaurant hours and they will happily serve you. OR, just order from one of the many local restaurants that appreciate customers that actually respect the posted hours of operation. We definitely won’t waste our money here again.

First time eating here and it did not disappoint. Exceptional staff and service which is hard to find this day and time!Aaron, our server was top notch and explained the specials perfectly. We enjoyed the She-crab soup, crab cakes and the filet mignon. We will visit again to try other menu items.

33 degree weather. Had reservation and was seated at first table by the door with a restaurant half empty had to wear coat and wrap husbands coat around my legs. Ordered grilled shrimp that was extremely over cooked. Have eaten here before and had a great meal. Extremely disappointed this time.My meal was taken off the bill but we drove 40 min to get there. Servers were great.

This is our second time dining at this fine establishment. Our first visit was a delight and our server, Michael, made it even more delightful. The food was on point—from the appetizers to the desserts. My husband chose to return for his birthday. The food and our server, Michael, did not disappoint! We will be back!
