Leslie Gailloud: The spiced cider is made with brandy and is delicious!
Chet Mancini: Lots of unique beers, meads, and bourbons. Check out the back patio!

Walt Walker: Loving the #2 cocktail: cognac, passion fruit, orgeat, & lemon
Saarim Zaman: delicious, strong, and inexpensive cocktails!
Cole Kennedy: Small space with a cool vibe. Leave your inhibitions at home and order a tropical cocktail. Or, ask the bartender to make you a proper Aviation, with gin and crème de violette.

BQ Nguyen: You must try the Roffignac at Sea cocktail. It's probably my favorite ever; Cognac, caramel, Benedictine and maldon salt.
Lindsay Duggan: Aahhh, finally... A brandy milk punch done right! Oh yeah, oysters too.
Harrison Weber: Delicious oysters, tasty juleps
Holiday: Delicious food albeit on high calorie side - pizza, calzones, fries. A couple salad choices but would love to see baked chicken or grilled fish. Too much pizza already in neighborhood.
Stephen Kline: Great food and a new music scene!
Laura Kolarik: The Big Ragu rice balls are fantastic! And the Saturday Night Fever pizza is spicy and delicious.

Village Voice: Try the Milk Punch. A different, but delicious drink with brandy, rum, coriander seeds, and Jasmine tea, which makes for a floral and earthy fusion of flavors.
nikki austin: Oysters were good, great price during happy hour! We also got the applewood potato bread, so delicious.
The New Yorker: "Many of the dishes are downright heavy, oddly wintery for an end-of-summer meal by the water. Which is not to say that the results aren’t frequently, even disconcertingly, satisfying." Read more.
