John & Sons Oyster House Reviews
Well what a great lunch we just had. A delicious dozen East coast oysters. French Kiss and Lucky Lime. plump and tasty with a smack of brine. Very nice selection of condiments. Two glasses of super tasty French Chablis followed up by Haddock tacos and the Blackened haddock burger. delicious fries to compliment the dish.
Warm and friendly service and probably one of the best lunches we've had this year.
Thanks 🙂👍🙂
72 oysters! all delicuous.
