    They have a wonderful selection of oysters - the list comes with tasting notes so you can figure out which you prefer. The cooked oysters are also delicious! Fantastic service and vibe. I highly recommend!

    You'd think that a place like this, attached to a fish market and boasting an extensive raw bar, might skimp on inventiveness and precision in the kitchen. But our experience on repeat visits has been that every dish is worth ordering. This time, even a simple side of sauteed pea shoots was special, the bright green flavor concentrated and accented by toasted almonds & raisins. The diced tuna on crispy rice cakes was delectable, the octopus in a Spanish-y white bean stew hearty & tender. One friend who never finishes her food polished off her fat, fresh lobster roll in in minutes. And yeah, you can get a platter of perfect oysters, if you want. The servers are always friendly & efficient. A hidden gem.

    What a treat! The food was excellent - the oysters were fresh, tasty and they had a nice variety of them. The lobster rolls were to die for and a great value compared to most anywhere else. Ashland and his entire team were so great working with us to accommodate a large party. Everyone enjoyed the food and the terrific service and attention. Thank you, Cull and Pistol!!
