Wellfleet Oysters. Oyster Sliders. Biscuits.

Not bad, but service is really slow. You can wait for more then 15 min just to get a desert menu, not sure that you will still want to try to get some desert after that (will it take another 30 min?)

The clam chowder with house-cured bacon combines wonderfully with the Schlenkerla smokebeer for a delicious warming snack or first course on a cold day.

The "Wildwood" cocktail is a Bobby McCoy creation imported from ES. It is smooth, refreshing, and the perfect choice after a long day of work. Drink.
