10/10 Highly recommend! My husband and I have been coming here for years for our anniversary and birthdays. Raw oysters are delish and fresh! The steamed are phenomenal!

My first time ever trying oysters was a great experience and delicious. And let me not forget the lobster bisque soup, I always order an extra one to take home. The staff greets you as soon as you walk in. The time for wait is literally 2 minutes or less, and the bar is always open.

★★★★★ 5.0 Pam Huynh · Apr 2025

The freshly baked oysters were absolutely delicious! Raw oysters were ok. The salad was good, though a bit heavy on the dressing. The lobster mac and cheese was tasty, and the fried fish was decent. The pasta was outstanding. For dessert, I highly recommend the key lime pie – it's a must-try! The service was excellent, as always. This is our third time dining at this restaurant, and we’ll definitely be back for more.

This is now one of my top five favorite Oyster house. I was taking away when my guests and I were taken to the outside area for dining: the wrap around patio gave it a New Orleans vibe. We went on a windy day however I did take notice of the ceiling fans that were located outside for hotter days. Oysters were a 10/10 especially with the butter garlic sauce. I ordered the Rockefeller and Nola oysters; my boyfriend favorite were the crab & bacon oysters he also ordered the catfish plate, in which he said it was too big! ( not sure if that’s an issue for some but possibly enough for 2 to enjoy) drinks were made to perfection. I will be going back very soon. It’s definitely a vibe even if you decide to just enjoy drinks the atmosphere is welcoming. Great for date night or lunch just GO!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Anishka J. Farrington · May 2025

My lobster roll was 6 inches of tastelessness. Fries were good, though. Our drinks were phenomenal. They were good and strong. I don't remember the name of it, but we asked the waiter which cocktail was the most popular. We chose the one she recommended. We sat outside on the balcony. Beautiful view of the live plants they have lining the railing. I forgot our waiter's name, but she was great! I am willing to try another entrée off the menu, though, despite what I said about the tasteless 6-inch lobster roll.
