Oysters Lobster Roll Oyster Happy Hour Crab Dip Lobster Spaghetti Outdoor Seating Mussels Raw Bar Seafood Tower Burrata

Feb 12, 2026"My wife took me here for…I forget why lol. This place is incredible. We had the oysters, the smoked whitefish salad, the burger, and the lobster roll. Every item was better than the last. The oysters were fresh and incredible, the smoked whitefish salad slapped, the burger was insanely flavorful, and the lobster roll was so fresh, light, and perfectly seasoned. Garlic bread ruled and the cocktails were also great! Can’t wait to go back!"

The portions were great and well worth the wait. The cocktails were also superb. Would definitely come back for another occasion!"
