Thuy-Linh NguyenMay 25, 2014Hush puppies were excellent! Very crispy. Scallops entree was great as well...very nicely seasoned and moist. The raw oysters were very fresh! Calamari appetizer - another great one.
Chelsea WJanuary 19, 2017House oysters great for the price...got some Danbury, MA oysters that were amazing, salty. Oyster shooters great - big oyster with a good really good spice to it. Great happy hour prices too
Sissi NieMarch 23, 2017Grab an outside seat (it can be a bit windy), have some oysters (the local Blade was yum) and shrimp and grits, sip on some iced tea, and do some people (and the occasional horse buggy) watching.
Maire GriffinJuly 6, 2013The July 4th BBQ special was divine. BBQ pork belly w/lobster stuffed squash blossoms - rich but delish. My friend got the salmon w pineapple tomato salsa, so good & the waiter Brooks is adorable!
Tiffany PorterAugust 13, 2014Had she crab soup and appetizers- blackened shrimp, calamari, and hush puppies- all fantastic. Heard the oysters all also tasty but personally not a fan. Local beer and easy access to parking.
Nancy ThompsonDecember 1, 2016Yum, at our table, we had blackened mahi-mahi, snapper, she crab soup, mussels, and shrimp & grits!! All great, typical pricing for the area.
dusty schmidtJuly 16, 2013Recommended by our horse /carriage tour guide - what a find! Excellent everything -had crab cake sandwich & oysters - wanted to try everything...good craft beer to.
Trae FSeptember 20, 2015A go to spot for great oysters and a fun, lively atmosphere in the heart of downtown.
GolphurApril 10, 2015I am from Florida and don't eat many raw oysters any more unless I trust the place. They do it right here. Eat them raw and enjoy!
Ms HeleneDecember 17, 20146 oysters $10 & house salad w spiced pecans and lemon vinegarette $9 for a light lunch
Rachel SheppardMarch 14, 2012Really delicious seafood! The shrimp cocktail and she-crab soup with sherry were both amazing. We got the fried seafood platter to split -- it's a lot of food!
Chuck RobertsNovember 26, 2012Got the pleasure to eat here on Friday night. Even though the place was packed, our server was friendly and very efficient. The Pirlau was the best ever!
Jason ROctober 13, 2014Clams, she crab soup, oysters, tuna tacos and the seared scallops are amazing.
Mary LindsayMarch 27, 2013Great service! Morgan was friendly and attentive but not overbearing. Her recommendations were right on. Will definitely come back.
Stellaa DuhartMay 25, 2016Their house oysters were very good, and their roasted beet salad too. The service was great.
Get the frozen bellini with a floater of Myers rum! Yummm!
Brad HeathSeptember 14, 2012Quite a fancy establishment, however they were very courteous to my fiancée and I who were obviously under dressed. Five stars all the way!
DyShaun MuhammadOctober 27, 2012The food for lunch was awesome. Definitely try their Bloody Mary and the Shrimp & Grits - creamy, smokey and delicious.
Gary HeatonNovember 15, 2015The tables are REALLY close together. Hope you enjoy those seated next to you. You will basically be sharing a table.- SarahJune 7, 2018Excellent seafood though a bit pricey. You get what you pay for though! Friendly staff too
Shonniece BrelandAugust 27, 2018Shrimp and grits is bursting with flavor!!! My taste bud is so happy right now...I'm in love!! 😍
Nathan BilancioMay 25, 2016I got a Cesar salad but wasn't a huge fan because the dressing was too fishy. I had the Clydesdale to drink, but felt it tasted a little watered down. It could've used a little more bourbon.
Alisa BardJuly 15, 2014Everything is amazing. Loved the she crab soup, calamari, blackened shrimp, shrimp corn dogs.
Mark MutzMarch 23, 2016Service was very slow, they were not that crowded but my beer sat on the bar for 15 minutes, so I went and got it myself. Oysters raw are good but seafood is heavily breaded which kills the flavor.
KirstenJune 8, 2012Amazing food. Calamari, creamed corn, crabcakes, she crab soup, chocolate terrine dessert... The best!
- Always awesome for a after work beer. Patrick and Carrie are the best bartenders hands down!
Megan DJuly 13, 2010Excellent hush puppies! Try the vegetable plate and pick four tasty sides - it's a good (but one of the few) option for vegetarians.- dusty schmidtJuly 16, 2013Oh...thee best shrimp & grits ever! and first time for Fried green tomatoes.. incredible!
Gregory FoleyAugust 13, 2011Late night bar service is always fast and friendly. Reasonable drink prices too!
Michael VJanuary 12, 2013Both the hostess and waiter seem annoyed that we came here to eat. So far service is C-, Food A-...thank you chef!

Christopher EcclestonDecember 4, 2011The Blackened Flounder is incredible! The shrimp corn dogs are worth a try!
BenMarch 22, 2013It's good, but is it great? Bartenders are also kind of inattentive dicks. Just because I look Asian doesn't mean I'm a bad tipper!

"Lovely place to watch boats with a crisp glass of wine on a sunny day. If you wait a bit and are strategic, you can snag a table within 10-15 minutes. Crab artichoke dip was a tasty pre-dinner snack!"
