Jennifer Uff.: One of the best meals I've ever had in my life: I had the seared tuna with octopus and potato salad -- out of this world good.
Mel D: The lobster rolls are the best. Chunks of lobster nestled in a soft toasted roll. I would also recommend the West Coast oysters.
Charlsie 🍡: Get the charred octopus and wash it down with the mother of pearl cocktail. If you can't get a table, sit at the bar. The seats move quickly!
