We caught an early seating in the parklet. It's fine for a parklet, inside has much more character, but we were outside. The wind picked up a bit and the often parklet downside of windy was true.
We got their oyster, clams combo and added a special of fried cod and potato salad along with shrimp salad and garlic bread.
The oysters were really good, we had 2 each of the 3 types they had that day. Really tasty with a great layout and description of what to expect....read full review

Amazing cioppino. Goes a long way too, especially with the excellent garlic bread for dipping.
