Food is great! I love lobster pasta so much. Lobster is fresh and juicy. Canadian oyster is the best. Also the service is really nice. Price is affordable. Definitely come back !

This place feels like being at home. My wife and I love it! The food and service are hand in hand together very successfully. The owner himself is always helping his staff, which speaks how much he cares about quality. Definitely declined the burger, the trio grilled oysters, the wine mussels, and the kids menu has rich variety as well. Great place to bring friends and family.

Food is usually great!! I have to say, today was an exception. The oysters must have sat because it wasn't hot this time. And the French toast was a little soggy. Service staff was nice...they are always welcoming and nice. It is like a home there. And, like home however, the windows sills can use some love 😉. But, overall, I will always stop by to eat there...for the most part this is one of the most consistent spots I've frequented...for that, they get a 4.5 rating from me. (By the way, it was breakfast for the first time for me, normally, I get dinner).

It was our first time at this restaurant, and it was an excellent choice. Oysters were fresh and yummy. Clan chowder was delicious and also crab dip, too. Christina, our server was so helpful and so gentle that made our experience memorable!! I am sure I will be back to taste the other options in the menu!

When we arrived a bit after 5pm on a Friday, the outdoor seating and the bar were full. The dining area was mostly empty but filled up quick. We ordered the oyster trio, crab hush puppies, seared sea scallops with lobster and kale risotto, and a soft shell crab bowl. While I understand that happy hour specials are for the bar, given how small the bar is in relation to the rest of the seating area, I'm not sure why diners aren't offered the same specials. King Street Oyster Bar has a similar set up and they don't make you sit at the bar to order happy hour specials. The highlight of the meal was the appetizers. The hush puppies are delicious and the oyster trio was phenomenal. The servers and staff are all friendly and the mains came out quick once we ordered. With that said, the kale risot
