We went out for my friends birthday tonight. Kevin was a great bartender, food was wonderful, drinks were delicious, everything was wonderful.
Amazing oysters every time and the specials are always fun and delicious. Great place for date night or just quick drinks and apps.
This place is an awesome, unique, sheek while non pretentious, amazing place to go for Oysters. It's one of our favorites for special occasion happy hours! Their house cocktails are delicious, and they even have a couple "mocktails" that are intentional and great to drink as well. Definitely check it out!
