    Everything was great! We had the dozen oyster tour. Only two species actually stood out. The others all tasted the same lol. We were put in the main dinner room and there were two large parties overpowering the room. We found out there was a quiet room away from the public. I will be requesting that room next time. But that's it everything else was great.

    Some of the best fish in the city. The love and care in the tartar sauce is amazing. We had the fish sandy and the fish and chips. Both perfectly fried and yummy with strong fries. Great gem
