    We visited during restaurant week, and a pop-up was going on, which added a fun vibe to the experience. Kyle, our server, was exceptional.

    We did the oyster shucking class and it did not disappoint! Do not eat before because that appetizers were plentiful and incredible! There was half of a lobster roll for every person with a bunch of other incredible bites to eat including a caviar cone. There was a nice charcuterie board as well as a fish pate. One drink of choice included with the ticket and I had an incredible cocktail. The staff overall was great, the class was simple, down to the point, with plenty of personal attention. Chef made us feel right at home and interacted with everyone. Right after the class you could stay for food and more incredible cocktails. I would recommend this as a great date night. Can't wait to come back and enjoy the full meal. Oysters were fresh with a good variety of choices.

    Wow! We wanted spot-on food but not a heavy drawn out meal. POB delivered. Swordfish pastrami- most incredible dish I’ve had in a long time. Cozy spot on a cold January night. Server was lovely , engaging, knowledgeable, helpful. Have already planned our next visit!

    This exceeded my expectations. Everyone from the bartender to the Exec Chef, Alexis were were friendly and professional. The price was well worth the experience and highly recommend this to anyone. We mentioned Gluten Free at time of reservation and they made sure we had our own snack prior to the oysters that were GF Friendly. Loved it
