    Very good authentic food and wine. Service was very friendly and helpful. We took Yakut Turkish red wine, grilled cheese, octopus, lamb souvlaki, kunefe and Turkish black tea. Everything was very tasty. Greek music and decoration was also perfect.

    Love Central Market! I have loads of food allergies, everyone there is amazing and willing to work with my dietary restrictions. Lupe, the hostess, was very pleasant and David, our server, was excellent. This is our go to favorite place.

    Went back to the Shuckery after our last visit about a year ago. Enjoyed great cocktails and bar menu hush puppies in the hotel lobby beforehand. At the restaurant - our server was very attentive. Had 6 half shell oyster, the claim chowder ($12), calamari mixto ($18) and scallops dish ($20) - all very good but the 3 quarter-sized scallops in that dish seemed too skimpy for the price. It left us wanting. Also although we had reservations at 5:30, at 4:30 we stopped by and tried to move it up to 5pm with the hostess - but were told that they were booked solid and that it wasn't possible. Coming back at 5:20, we were seated right away but couldn't help notice that the restaurant was barely 25% full (and didn't get too many more guests thereafter). Odd service.
