Food was amazing. My girlfriend and I had dinner there last Wednesday night. The General Manager Jill was very inviting. She took time to talk to us about the menu and wine list. Our waiter was very attentive and social . We had the dozen oysters to start and the was great. Malissa and I are big oyster fans and their selection was very good. We enjoyed a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc that went very nice with the Oysters. I had the taco trio with shrimp and they were excellent. Malissa...

Love this place. Not only is it the best seafood market in the county, the restaurant is fantastic too. Love the cocktails here, the clam chowder is fantastic, the crab cakes are delicious and I've never had fish here that wasn't cooked to perfection.

The Shihoku oysters on the half shell were fantastic. The Purple Peruvian Scallops with Ginger-Shallot Mignonette, Orange & Micro Cilantro is beyond awesome. A must have item from the raw bar. The Manhattan Clam Chowder was spot on. Lots of clams, just the right amount of potatoes, celery and carrots. All great, but we'll be back for Peruvian Scallops.
