Kristina 💗 Z: Came in for the fish & chips, but grilled oysters were the showstopper. Served with a creamy Hollandaise & Chartreuse sauce, you’ll wonder why restaurants don’t all prepare them like this
Cole Kennedy: Lives up to the hype. Space is super cute, menu and service even better. Fish and chips are great, but don’t sleep on the fish pie, roasted chicken, or grilled oysters.
Noah Weiss: British seafood perfection. Loved the squid skewer, clams and cider, grilled oysters, smoked eel, and of course the fish and chips.
