The service was great! The food was good. A little over done fra divalo. I would defiantly recommend doing the fish wood fired your way. Oyster selection great too!

Fresh fish on a wood grill, it doesn't get any better. The quality of the seafood is so good they don't have to dress it up. Been one of my favorites for more than 10 years!
