Amazingly fresh seafood and beautifully done steaks with equally great side dishes, large enough to share! Go early and take advantage of their fabulous happy hour drinks and apps. Always a good time and a local favorite. Top notch service as well. Recommend for a night out, date night or special occasion.

Wonderful happy hour. The oysters were divine. I ate dinner in the bar three nights of my four-night trip. Even if you miss happy hour, the seafood is delicious. Enjoy one of their tasty cocktails (happy hour or not) to round out your dinner. Bartenders are very attentive and knowledgeable.

Incredible meal. Best scallops we have had so far. Charlie is an exceptionally skilled and gracious server. The pink moon oysters were “some of the best I’ve ever had” -husband. Love that they have “six pack for the kitchen” available. They deserved it.

Such an amazing find!!! Fresh Oysters are amazing!!! Steak is perfect! I tried 6 of the different oysters they offer!! The Carpetbagger steak was spectacular! Just the right amount of spice and sweetness! I would recommend this place time and time again! Can't wait to visit again!!
The food was over the top. The only problem was that for $100. 00 per plate for crab legs they refused to open them for us.

Best oysters I’ve ever had away from the coast

Oysters were great, you can never go wrong with anything from Prince Edward Island. I liked my ono and my husband’s lobster roll had a ton of lobster, which was awesome, but he said all he could taste was onions, and he likes onions, but not that much.

I don't know if we just went on a bad night or what had happened but it was not their most strong night.
The service was incredibly slow and there were times we wouldn't see our waitstaff for 15-20 minutes at a time. When she was there, she was nice, but the complete lack of attention to a group outing was pretty disappointing, especially noting that the building wasn't what I'd call busy by any means. There were other tables that definitely were getting better service from other waitstaff, so it may have just been an off night. I'm not sure.
The food - for the most part, if you want seafood, get seafood. Everyone at the table found it delicious that had it. I got the chicken - supposedly it was previously called "not yet famous" fried chicken. It is no longer called that and frankly, it was overcooked, incredibly dry, and flavorless. Seasoning would've been nice. The biscuit was good if not a bit overbaked on the outside (it was incredibly crunchy). I will say, the bread at the table and the whipped butter with flakey salt was amazing and delicious.
The building's "ambiance" was a bit frustrating. It was very loud and echo-y, enough so that a table nearby moved to another part of the building as it was just too loud. Additionally there just was no airflow. It was so hot, humid, and stuffy that it really kind of made the overall experience miserable. I can't say I'll be back.

Best, best, best! Crab Legs are best in Wisconsin. Seafood Tower is phenoms. Steak is so flippin’ good. Same as Tornado quality with a little more city preparation. Oysters are best. Only negative is parking. There is a city lot 2 blocks away.
