Tiffany NgAugust 5, 2011Prim up in a hurry: mouthwash, hair spray, and ladies essentials in the women's bathroom in the saloon. Be sure to tip the attendant though!
La B.July 30, 2013Didn't have any oysters. But the saloon is pretty neat to have a drink in. Sit at the bar.. Grab a beer... Enjoy.

Jason BradyMay 1, 2013Terrible service and food at top prices. Venue and architecture is awesome. Lets hope a Michelin Chef buys this place one day. So much potential.
Luca DLJanuary 13, 2012Kumamoto & Bluepoint oysters to start, then try the amazing New England clam chowder.
Fried Oyster Po' Boy off the lunch menu is a must. Raw little neck clams are simply delicious and always fresh
Lyuba KarpachovaApril 30, 2018Fresh seafood! I still can’t believe we were actually at the train station.
THE Biggest selection of oysters in the city, hands down. Reasonably priced.
Hila RazJanuary 11, 2011Incredible variety of oysters! Order the fanny may or kumamoto if in season and a chowder to warm up Mid winter!
Siobhan QuinnApril 5, 2012Mad Men Season 1 episode "Red in the Face" Don & Roger have a few dozen oysters and several rounds of cocktails here.

Xavier AMay 1, 2014Keep your eyes peeled on the receipts. The math on the suggested gratuity will totally rip you off. 20% of $26.07 is less than $5.25, not $17.21 as seen here.
Dmitriy SJanuary 3, 2011Get the New England clam chowder, the Naked Cowboy oysters, and a weisbeer. Leaves happy.
