The worst experience ever. A mouse running around the tables while we had dinner. � The manager moved us from the first floor to second! She just said <take your plate and I take the other one > . (my husband had our baby) so I had to take my plate to the second floor so I can finish my food. Disappointed! 

Business response:

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we're sorry for the unfortunate, rare situation, Vivian. The manager used his best judgment and moved two of the tables in the dining room to the second floor. We have some construction going on behind the restaurant so it seems like this is where the mouse came from.

My sister & I thoroughly enjoyed the menu, service & atmosphere for our lunch today! We created our own sampler platter. We chose the Onset, Pt. Judith & Narragansett oysters. They were cold, fresh, delicious and the Onset oysters were extra large!! I had the salmon poke (so tasty) with oyster stew (buttery, rich, flavorful). My sister enjoyed fried scallops that were big & juicy! Highly recommended!! 

Business response:

We're glad to hear you and your sister got creative and made your own sampler platter, Laura -- nice choice! You can always count on us to serve you quality dishes made with the freshest ingredients. We're thrilled you enjoyed everything from the fried scallops to the overall atmosphere of our restaurant. We're hoping to see you and your sister again soon! -Charlie, General Manager

We had the BEST Oyster Stew Ever! We ended up going back twice for the stew and the wedge salad which was made with bib lettuce.... again, one of the best I've had in as very long time! Lettuce was tender, bacon tasty and overall a great experience. I do not remember our servers names but both were great and attentive! 

Business response:

You can't go wrong ordering the oyster stew, Anita -- excellent choice! We're thrilled you had a wonderful experience with us, and our friendly staff looks forward to serving you another delicious wedge salad soon. -Charlie, General Manager
