    Love this place! This was the second NYE we’ve spent here! The oysters are NEXT level. Brought our family visiting for the holiday weekend and they loved it! Cory was amazing at accommodating the extra people we brought which exceeded what we reserved. Sophia was so attentive and had no problem handling our group of 9! Highly recommend!

    If you want oysters: go and JUST get oysters. If you want good food: skip it Went out to eat (2 of us), looking for dinner. We didn’t drink but got oysters, some hush puppies, and an entree each. The oysters were phenomenal. If you want good oysters THIS is the place. But when it came to everything else? Pass. The hush puppies weren’t fully cooked and raw inside. The lobster bisque tasted like marinara sauce. The fish tacos had zero flavor and I could have made them at home.
