Very expensive for small portions and service was not attentive. I am always happy to give a gratuity but an automatic 22% gratuity for slow service isn't acceptable. Oysters were ok/didn't blow me away. Restaurant also ran out of multiple dishes on the menu which is frustrating when portions are already small.
We went here for a date night. They have amazing oysters. The food was very good. Just wish they had more options. Definitely a fun place to try for seafood lovers.
Vegetarian options: The vegetarian options are mostly just sides.
Parking: Google maps direction takes you to the front of the building. However there is a parking lot behind the building.
Kid-friendliness: The menu does not have anything kid friendly.

Yum!! So tasty, and such a charming little oyster bar. We ate well, and recommend everything we got, but also can’t wait to go back and try everything else. Also very interested to check out barnacle bar next door next time we visit.
