If you love fresh local oysters, you won't want to miss The Press Gang. If you don't already love oysters, The Press Gang may make a convert of you. Impeccably fresh, each type with its distinctive texture and flavor, served with 3 different accompaniments — cocktail sauce, mignonette and horseradish. The service was exceptionally good, cocktails both classic and non-alcoholic were well crafted, and the roast halibut was moist and delicious.
If you’ve never been, it’s still a beautiful, historic place to eat dinner. We were trying to recapture the experience we had more than 15 years ago and to us it didn’t measure up.
Dish was j we cooked, not enough vegetable sides or options , mediocre wine list. Sorry to have to say it!

If you enjoy very small salads for a whole lot of money and a seafood risotto where they put as little seafood as possible in it and charge you a fortune then this is your spot. I shouldn’t be such a whiner but this was a common theme on the restaurants we visited.
We were here twice. First time was for appetizers. We had a charcuterie board that was delicious and oysters. Still, a very small amount of food for so much money.
