    We arrived early for our reservation and was seated right away. The oysters were fantastic! We ended up getting the hummus platter, the drunken clams and we each had a salad and a few drinks. Price point was great considering what we ordered. Food was delicious and fresh. I would certainly entertain coming back here again just for the oysters if nothing else!
