The cocktails, mussels, and fish are the best! I brought my parents from out of town and they said this was the best they'd ever had �
This place is exceptional. It's my go-to for seafood when anyone asks for recommendations. AND, you have the best octopus I've ever had.

Service excellent, atmosphere awesome and the oysters can't be beat!

I had a few oysters DELICIOUS! All of us enjoyed our food, it... read more
