Went in without a booking on a Sunday afternoon in summer. Was a bit overcast outside. Were seated pretty quickly at a high table in the middle. It’s pretty crammed in. Served quickly and ordered cocktails. Small glasses for serving size. Ordered baked oysters, they were okay. We ordered the crab salad and the fish and chips. Salad should come in a bowl not on a plate. Otherwise salad tasted okay just difficult to eat on a plate. Fish and chips were fresh and a good portion size. Coleslaw was fresh. Good location (which is worth it if you’re there). Staff were very friendly.

Great oysters! Yummy! Clam chowder was pretty tasty. Good vibes here. Couples, groups. My only complaint is there were couples here discussing politics. It’s Sunday evening folks, enjoy the drink, food, and company. Wait till Monday morning to chat it up about Fox news & Friends & Newsome at the office.

The restaurant can be pretty loud during the busy hours. The food was okay. I had fish and chips. The fish wasn’t bad, however I’ve had better. The fries on the other hand were delicious. One thing this restaurant has mastered is presentation.

Got a seat right along the window, so could watch the end of the sunset from our seat! Walked in and got a table within about 20-30 minutes. The cioppino was phenomenal and we were impressed by the mussel selection. Very nice ambiance and attentive wait staff. Great stop along the beach!

Great food and great service! We ordered shrimp cocktail, oysters in the half shell, cioppino, and warm banana chocolate bread pudding. The cioppino should be served with cracked crab to make it easier to eat.

Excellent. It would seem a touristy place on the front line of the ocean and the bar should not be ideal, but my wife and I were pleasantly surprised. First of all, the selection of oysters is impressive. I love them very much, however I didn’t know there were so many varieties, second the crab salad is amazing, third the manager, a nice older man, walks around each guest and chats. It’s impressive. I don’t feel bad about the $300 I left here at all.

Had a memorable dinner for one here a few weeks ago. Got seated at the window with an oceanview. Oysters-on-the-half-shell, calamari seasoned with zesty spices & smoky clam chowder were on point plus at happy hour prices it was a great value. The service was excellent and everything came out fast. The place had a very cozy vibe. I want to go back when I am next in the area! I loved that I could walk there from my hotel.

Food was okay (I wasn’t into it, but my husband said his meal was okay), service was great (including hosts and wait staff), but the atmosphere could be better. This is a tiny restaurant that gets packed with people. So it feels like you’re inside a bees nest – too much noise, commotion and not enough space. There are issues with parking as well. We had to circle around quite a few times to finally get a spot.

Loved, loved, loved the fresh seafood we had here! The calamari was delicious, the shrimp cocktail was super yummy, and the 3 varieties of oysters we tried were perfectly plucked from the sea! We loved this wonderful little beachfront gem we stumbled upon while walking the boardwalk. We would definitely stop by again!
