Good oysters. Shrimp roll & pasta misto were tasty but both could use more shrimp. Salad could’ve been good but was drowned in an overpowering vinaigrette.

Attractive quaint place with only bar seating. The staff is super friendly and the food is worth it ??. I do wish they’d add a small simple cocktail menu, even just three drinks done really well. With their attention to detail, and intentionally focused approach, I’m sure they could whip up one of the best martinis in town if they tried.

Amazing... I felt like I was in a big city! All the seating is at the bar... You are able to make a reservation. We had at the corner, which was nice because we could face each other sort of.The food is all shareable and portions are generousService is low pressure but smoothDrinks were greatWe chatted with a couple next to us and ordered more food based on their recommendation. You will not be disappointed!

Really cool ambience in here. Great food. We went at 9:15 at night on a Saturday and had the whole place to ourselves. If you're not going late, you need reservations, it's very small. We got oysters and risotto. The sausage risotto was incredible!! We split it between two of us and ate the whole thing. The cocktails were beautiful and delish too. Highly Recommend this place. Even if you don't like seafood they had some good options.

By far one of the best restaurants I have been to in a long time. Limited menu which means super fresh ingredients and they did not disappoint. Everything we ate was delicious. We had the Shrimp Rolls, Mushroom Bruchetta and a special tonight of a Branzino Filet and they were all so well balanced and well seasoned. We tried raw oysters for the first time and they seemed to melt in your mouth. The oyster itself was ice cold and so fresh tasting with the scallion and tuna on top. The staff was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is close knit for sure but cozy at the same time. You warm up to it fast. The food is made right in front of you in these super cool steam powered Wok looking pans haha… I really can’t say enough good things about this place. We will be back and SOON!!

So good!! Went on a Weds at 7:30pm and lucked out - we were seated immediately. Love the space and the music choice was top notch. Food was delicious with reasonable prices and large portions. (Not a huge menu so picky eaters beware.) We shared the salmon plate, the creamy garlic mussels, and a sausage octopus shrimp jambalaya, all of which were hits! (We both came from the climbing gym and we were stuffed with just these three dishes.) Can’t wait to come back and try more dishes! Parking is street side.

First off, the Shrimp Sliders are excellent. They feature sweet and tangy rock shrimp on a fresh buttery roll. You would be remiss to go without a try. The rest of dishes are solid. And I'll be honest, I have not had the oysters so I can't speak to them.The atmosphere leaves a little to be desired, with some clashing decor, but the service was friendly and timely. Definitely worth a stop if you like seafood!

A fun, very small place that offers a casual vibe with freshly prepared food. It's good, even very good, just not as extraordinary as perhaps we'd been built up to expect. Oysters were very good, smoked salmon plate was outstanding, chilled pasta with lobster seemed to skimp on the lobster, and the mussels were a mixed result, with the mussels themselves a little mealy and fishy, while the broth was wonderful. The service was delightful and I'd go back, just with lowered expectations next time around.

This is a masterful chef experience. You can chef watch talk to a neighbor and enjoy some of the best food rochester, or even the new england area has to offer.
