For the price, the food was mediocre. I would have expected a seafood restaurant to know how to cook shrimp, however, my Shrimp Bucatini had shrimp so tough my fork couldn't cut it and the noodles tasted like simple box noodles someone can get from Walmart, but the pesto was decent. The Lobster roll was underwhelming. The Oysters were fine. The yellowfin crudo was tasty, but not very delicate with too much Yuzu-soy on the plate, making it overwhelm the natural flavor instead of complimenting it. The best part of the meal was the hush puppies from the Four 'H' - they were the best part of the meal.The server did a decent job. He was nice and knowledgeable about most of the food. However, he did add extra yuzo to the Yellowfin crudo instead of leaving it in the side dish he brought out. And, unfortunately, the oysters he suggested were not as fresh/good as the ones we had originally selected (we switched from 6 of one type to 2 of three types).The lemon pie was decent with a good, smooth texture, but wasn't very flavorful.The power did go out twice for no apparent reason with the lights staying on across the street and down the road. I realize, however, this may be out of their control. Otherwise, the ambiance was nice and inviting.We went for an anniversary dinner and do not plan on returning.

My entree was over salted and the broccolini was charred. My husband's dish wasn't impressive either - bland. I expect near perfection for the price.

Our server Seth was amazing, he gave us great recommendations for our meal and he was well versed with the different items on the menu. I love fresh oysters and often have a hard time finding quality raw oysters here in OKC but the oysters at this restaurant were definitely top tier. We will be going back most likely this week for happy hour.

The food wasn't very good.Oysters - 2/10Steak - 1/10I don't normally leave reviews of their bad, every place has off days, but this just plain wasn't good. My steak was so bland I had to ask for steak sauce--which they do not have either.Never finished our meal

I am not an oyster person or a fish person AT ALL, so PLEASE believe me when I tell you these oysters were SOOOO good! Our server was so attentive and made the perfect recommendations for my family and I! Will absolutely be returning! It's absolutely worth the price-
Our food was fantastic and the service Seth provided was top tier!! We wished the lighting was slightly lower being later in dinner service but we will absolutely be back!

My girlfriend and and I had never been here and I had heard good things about it. I made a reservation for 2115 Friday night, thinking they must be open late because that slot was available. I should have checked - they closed at 2200. The staff didn't act like they were trying to get us out of there but I felt rushed, nonetheless. 45 minutes is long enough to eat but not enough time to chat afterwards, and I didn't want to be that rude customer who is oblivious to the fact the staff are tired and want to close up. When I'm paying 69$ (plus tip) for one cocktail, one app, and one entrée, I like enough time to chill for a bit before leaving.My gf and I split the parmesan crusted artichokes w pistachios for our appetizer; it was tasty. (16$)We split the entrée, the name of which I can't recall. It was the special of the day and really good! It was angel hair pasta with a slightly spicy tomato-based sauce and had a piece of fried mild whitefish. It had cherry tomatoes and a few green olives in the sauce. (35$)I also got a cocktail. It was rum-based and the server recommended it. I don't remember the ingredients but it wasn't my favorite. I think it had some cranberry juice among other things. It almost tasted a little smokey. (12$ or 14$?) I would not get it again.The service was excellent. Our server did a great job! She was attentive and friendly.The prices seem outrageous to me!! The food was good and the drink mediocre so to split everything and have 85$ be the total seems way too expensive!!Why do they have reservations available so close to closing time?! This is more of a fine dining experience and they need to give their patrons enough time to eat, relax, and have dessert or another drink after they eat. 45 minutes isn't long enough!
4 to 6 weekdays, happy hour. $2.50 oysters, $6 cocktails. Many oyster options from all around the US and Canada when I visited. Lobster roll and Thai brussels are superb. The limocello pie is worth stopping in for. Great service! Love The

Erica at the bar was very nice and provided excellent service! Food was outstanding! Had Maine Oysters, a great Wedge Salad and the Curry Shrimp dish was recommended and didn't disappoint! Great cocktails and wine!
