ngl good food and ambiance, but they charged an extra $10 to my card and never responded to my messages and email (they don’t have a phone number), so be careful and check your card statementsupdate: they got back to me after i wrote this review (1 star), so i’m bumping this back upupdate 2: i went back and wasn’t charged extra, the oysters are solid

Awesome spot for martinis and seafood. Had the oysters and the clam dish, was introduced to a ‘perfect martini’ and it was exactly that!

Just had cocktails and the seafood tower— don’t really remember the cocktails but the seafood tower was exceptional and would order it again. The ceviche was a standout.

An intimate local cocktail bar with a well-curated selection of drinks. Their drinks menu is very extensive which was nice to see. My favorite drinks were the Shiso Painkiller and Paper Plane. We also got the cheesecake, which was perfection <3. Great happy hour deals - they also have a "nighttime happy hour" which is from 10pm-12am! Suuuper friendly and helpful staff and good vibes overall. I would love to come back for oysters next time.

Cozy casual vibes for cocktails and seafood small plates. Great for 2 or a group of 4. Nothing over the top or extra ordinary. We got the the shrimp cocktail, Caesar salad, shewolf bread 3 slices, aguachile and a few cocktails. Good place to start the night.

Left less than impressed. Small venue. Dark date night vibes. The service at the bar while quick was a bit apathetic. The steamed clams lacked flavor. Probably won't return.

Exceptional service from every staff member, consistently fresh and delicious oysters, amazing martinis and overall an amazing establishment that cares a lot about the quality of food + service. One of our favorite spots to frequent!
