As an oyster/seafood lover, I am always looking for a great local seafood restaurant. Came during Happy hour and stayed until dinner time. The decor was fine, with large windows and an outside seating area. Seating was a bit crowded inside, particularly with so many bar seats. The oysters were acceptable, chowder was a bit on the too thick side, drinks were reasonable, scallops were delicious, overall seafood was fresh. Unfortunately, the pasta and lobster dishes were way too salty (there is really no need with fresh seafood.). Prices were somewhat on the high side, lower CP!

Small, but pretty upscale. Bartender was incredibly friendly, funny, and helpful. Knew what he was doing. Atmosphere is awesome. Pop music going on, but very light you hardly notice it. Chefs work in front where you can watch them! Happy hour is pretty darn good for such an upscale place. Quality is superb. $1.50 for select oyster of the day during HH. 11/10 Would recommend, Ill be back soon and many times after!

Friendly service and great food. The atmosphere is very positive and has a loud, social vibe. We loved sitting at the bar, which provides a view of the food preparation and cooking process. However, I do not recommend this sitting arrangement if the amount of butter used to make all the yummy dishes is going to be a problem.

We went to the restaurant the first weekend it was open. The food, drinks, and service were really good, and has potential to be a higher rating. My main complaint was the value. Total bill was $130 after tip, and we ended up going to get a second meal afterward.

Food was ok. Selection of happy hour oyster limited. Not sure if we didnt order Kumamoto or they didnt have them. But standard oysters were ok. Burger was nice steak was boring. Good atmosphere.

Great selection of fresh oysters. Grilled octopus, marrow bone, and roasted oysters also excellent. Good selection of wine by the glass. Happy hour specials from 4-6 Monday-Thursday.

Came here for brunch- loved the atmosphere and the food was great. This place is kid friendly in the mornings as well. I would definitely come back here again for brunch!

Why cant I give 6 stars? Because EVERYTHING (Service, Cuisine, Ambience) is the best of the genre for a bistro. Nothing in the area compares.

Excellent place, excellent food, great service. Menu offers more than oysters. Loved this place and will return in my next trip to SF area.

Rude staff, 1.5 hour wait when only half the restaurant was full....dont understand their business model. I suggest making a reservation.
