While the raw murder point oysters were great the food was quite disappointing especially for the price. The flounder crudo did not taste fresh and was weird with the kumquats. The dish lacked freshness/ acidity. The crackers that came with it were unevenly salted. The crispy fish collar was very good. The scallops were too salty but the sauce was good. The short ribs were good but not exceptional.
This is one of our favorite spots in town. The food and service has never disappointed!
We visited for the first time on Monday, June 24, 2024. Food was prepared/cooked to perfection! The free valet was a plus (we still tipped). We got sat by the bar and enjoyed the view of a chef preparing the oysters. Our favorite part was our server Anabelle. She was AMAZING! She was very attentive, knowledgeable, and caring. She took our first time experience from a 10/10 to a 20/10! Thanks Anabelle!
