My boyfriend and I had another great date night here just last night. Not only is their oyster selection impressive, they also have excellent other dishes to choose from. We had the ceviche (picture is after we devoured it) and shrimp toast- both fantastic. Check this spot out!

Casual oyster bar with other familiar seafood offerings. Happy hour oysters are a good deal @$18/doz. The wine special was good but not enough to warrant the $15/glass price tag. Friendly and casual, just don't be in a hurry and plan on eat and run.

The food is definitely a five out of five, but the service can be lacking. I've been twice and the first time, the service was excellent. The waitress was spot on and was very great with recommendations and knowledge of the menu. Tonights service was no where near this level. While it wasn't terrible, it very much felt like the bare minimum. Food was ordered and dropped off, but there were long waits between ordering and seeing her again, long wait to get the bill (even though we were the only table at this point) and not once were we checked on or asked how things were, bare minimum. The chef was more involved than she was. (The chef was wonderful and did happen to ask us how we enjoyed everything)

Pricey and even on Tuesdays when oysters are $18 per dozen you can't get a sampling of the oysters only one type that they choose. Also please offer cocktail sauce. People do like it with oysters. The bread and goat butter and margaritas however are spot on.

If you love oysters this is your jam. We went on a Friday evening and no problem. Wine suggestion as well as tequila with the ceviche sauce back was Perfecto. Would go back again and again. Not for families. Next door to oddities :) in a beloved part of town.

The oysters were absolutely delicious. The wine was delicious. The place is very cozy. However, I've lived here my entire life and I haven't experience worse service anywhere in town. We waited over an hour before anyone checked on us after being served. We even tried to get the attention of other servers, who made eye contact and quickly walked away. Eventually we got the attention of the mixologist, who was rather rude (although somewhat understandably so; it isn't their job to take customers' orders) to ask if we could put in an order for more food. We waited another 20 minutes before someone came to ask us what we had ordered. The poor guy next to us waited 20 minutes before ultimately asking the chef if he could get a menu, since nobody had checked in with him after he was seated. Everyone was rude and inattentive, despite the place not even being busy. There were multiple servers on the floor and absolutely no reason for the afternoon to go the way that it did. My partner comes from a serving background, and he gently mentioned that not even on his worst day would he have given such awful service. Truly unfortunate, because the oysters and clams and mussels and wine were all very yummy.

Yuuuum. A proper oyster bar. Sangria is delish as is the white wine selection.

Such a cool place. Food is incredible. Love the culture that is created here.

wonderful atmosphere and wine. if you seek incredible flavor with sustainable, local sourcing, make a stop! Ingrained Monday night pop up is fantastic, too!

Came here on a weeknight for the oyster special. The service was pretty slow. Food for the most part was not bad, however, the oysters were not properly shucked. They were only open, the muscle wasn't cut. I've never been to an oyster bar where they did it this way. There were also bits of shell in them which made them pretty unpalatable. The pickled Serrano and fermented hot sauce that comes with them is dope though. Was disappointed that I spent so much for an underwhelming meal.

Good selection of oysters. Try the drinking board.

Very rustic chic marina vibe here. Their prices are fair for happy hour. We were planning on trying their Portland dining month menu but realized the happy hour was just as worth it. I recommend the oysters, both raw or cooked.
