The food was excellent, with delicious flavors, and the atmosphere was pleasant. However, our waiter was not very attentive. This was our first visit to the restaurant(we live across from it)and unfortunately the service wasn't very good. Had the service been better, we would likely return.

Had a seat at the bar for a solo dining experience. Incredible wine list, had some specials - baked oysters were magnificent, service was impeccable.

This little restaurant, raw bar, bar bar is not messing around. They handle their shellfish perfectly, cold, crazy fresh, and masterfully shucked. I recommend just a dash of the mignonette to just highlight the delicious flavors of the posters. The bartender told me the raw scallops have never left the menu so I ordered them. I can see why they're almost a signature of GH. The bok choy pancake is really good but strangely filling. Plenty for 2.

The cocktails are well mixed.

Highly recommended.

Beautiful food. Some dishes like the crudo and scallop are on the salty side, so you may want to eat with bread

They had a great selection of delicious oysters. They had a small food selection, but everything we tried was delicious, especially the fish dip, sourdough bread, scallop roll, and crispy oysters. We were at a small high top near the front door and our waitress was very good

Wow wow wow. One of the best meals of my life here. Best oysters ever - hands down. Lighting, ambiance and decor are chef’s kiss for this little sexy place. Food is just stellar. Every single thing was super delicious. 😋 oh and the meringue desert thing was oh my gawd!

No notes. Get a couple dozen oysters, the raw scallops, and the Pilsner

Seriously, when you're in the area and looking for a great evening, after leaving Chris at Congress, STOP HERE. The staff, atmosphere and oyster bar is top notch. The hostess is a delight and charismatic. Our oyster connoisseur, whom I affectionately nicknamed DC... as in Discovery Channel... because she is an absolute genius ! Tell her your pallet and she'll serve you EXACTLY what your taste buds crave. THIS TEAM, everyone; even Brady, IS SOLID GOLD ! I wish I was their manager.
Bravo TEAM !!!! IMHO

An absolutely sensational dining experience, with every dish surpassing expectations in terms of quality, presentation, and flavor. Even with a wide variety of fish available, it’s hard to go wrong with any of it. The chef has carefully curated a balanced flavor with every single bite, and I was impressed every time something new graced my palate. Some of the standout dishes included the raw scallops and the raw fish sampler plate, both of which we ended up coming back to because they were so high quality and delicious. If you are in Providence - do yourself a favor and go to this restaurant, you will leave impressed and in awe that good could be so tasty. Cannot recommend this enough.

Straight to the point and just diving into the best part of dining.
It is also great that there is no reservations and casual fine dining.
Best oyster selections. Think of omakase for oysters

Small little gem and had quite possibly the best oysters I've ever. It's worth checking out right in the Westminster mall.

Waiter gives no rundown on oyster varieties of flavor profiles which is an usual move for a seafood place. I order oysters, then the guy to my left orders and then the couple to my right. Both get theirs before me. I wait like 15 for six oysters. Place isn’t busy. I order the stuffed peppers and they take nearly 45 minutes. The guy immediately to my left orders and receives three other dishes while I wait for one. No apology or acknowledgment from waiter. Food was good, but there’s a million seafood places in this city and I don’t know why I’d go back to this one.
