About this business
The name is probably an indicator of what not to expect from this award-winning restaurant.

I adore this restaurant. The seafood is incredibly fresh, the staff is knowledgeable and does their job incredibly well. I can't say enough good things.

I had the 3 layer tower. It was truly amazing! Some of the best oysters I've had.
Really wanted to try this restaurant. Called a month ahead of time for reservation for 10 people and was told they only seat parties of 8 or more at 5:00 or 9:00 even though I was the very first person requesting a reservation for a night in late February. They offered a private room for $5,000 and explained that their business model wouldn't allow a party as large as ours to eat at 7:30 as we requested. I hope they make it. They sure are quick to turn down a large party.
A great restaurant: efficient and friendly service and exquisite food. Lots of fun eating all the different oysters and clams.

A touch on the pricey side but excellent food and top-notch service. Can't ask for much more.
This was a second visit for me and my husband - the food, service, and staff were all excellent!
