    Fun restaurant! We had Liz as our waitress and she was wonderful. Good sense of humor, helpful and knowledgeable regarding our choices. We really enjoyed her! I had the oysters, crab cakes & potato chips. All were very good. Unfortunately they were out of steamers. That was my only disappointment. Loved the wine on tap. My husband is not a big seafood fan so it was limiting for him. He had the charcuterie to start and the steak for dinner. He said both were very good. He was very happy with the ice cream and coffee. We really had a delightful time and I’ll go back the next time we are in town! Thank you
