The food and drinks were great, and the bartender was friendly. I'd left my purse at my stool, and the hostess chased me down, too. I was so grateful. Highly recommend the Caesar salad.

Always outstanding and a go to lunch spot when visiting. Great selection of oysters and the horseradish will clear the sinuses (the waitress warned us which was nice but we loved). Just finished the fish and chips with skinny fries. Super flavorful and fresh and the batter wasn’t too heavy.

One of the more affordable seafood spots in Carmel with a cozy pub style atmosphere. Fish is prepared fresh from local area and served with their own signature sauces. They boast the best blooody Mary in town and it was perfectly seasoned and medium spicy with a fresh stalk of celery, olives and pepperocini. Try the seafood sampler to get an idea of their seafood. Excellent cocktail sauce with horseradish

Fun spot to get a break from winery hopping. The fresh oysters were delicious. I don't mind a bit of brininess, but these didn't have any at all which made them enjoyable even for those in our group that weren't huge fans of oysters. We also ordered the parmesan and garlic broiled oysters which were... interesting. Definitely worth trying if garlic bread oysters sounds intriguing but otherwise I wouldn't have minded sticking with the fresh oysters. We also ordered the fried plate with calamari, shrimp, and fish. It wasn't anything special so I'd skip it. Someone at our table also ordered a tuna sandwich which they claimed was the best thing they ate all weekend. I can only attest for the caesar salad that came with their order, which was perfect.

We stumbled upon this place while taking a nice morning stroll after Valentines Day. Out server Fernando, was excellent! I ordered a cup of their rose clam chowder & my husband & I shared the prime rib sandwich - one of the best I've tasted! We also got a dozen of California oysters & a dozen of the oysters from Canada. This is a very intimate restaurant. Love how we can watch out food be prepared while sitting at the bar. Definitely will be coming back during our next trip!

The food and drink here are the best. Oysters fresh and prepared many different ways! Ambiance very nice. If you sit at one end of the bar to eat, you can watch the guys make the oysters and they're very professional.
