So tiny, so impressive! This miniature restaurant turns out beautiful seafood, both raw and cooked. The "kitchen" is nothing but a small flat top, a burner plate and a fryer. Oysters and crab claws were amazing and if you want to splurge on Dover sole, do! Nice wine-by-the-glass list, and busy but professional and friendly staff. Love it.
