This was our fourth dinner at The Retriever and we had another wonderful evening. The food is consistently very good, service is efficient and friendly and you can't beat the cocktails. Plus it's reasonably priced. We share incredibly fresh oysters and the smoked bluefish dip for starters. Among the four of us we had the shrimp burger, the pork and noodles and the catfish. Everyone enjoyed their entrees. We will definitely be back to this charming spot.
Always fresh oysters along with a limited menu which is a good thing since they concentrate on fewer offerings. There's something for everyone from salads to sliders to complete meals including seafood choices, chicken sandwich, smashed burger. Nice beverage menu as well that includes cocktails, draught and bottle beer/ale and wine. Very casual and very friendly.
The restaurant has a bar and a dining room. The dining room has lovely upholstered wing chairs and nice tables. The menu is interesting and the food was very good. BUT, the sound system played loud rock music. It made the experience somewhat trying. The restaurant prides itself on its wine list and we found a bottle that one rarely sees at a very fair price.
