James Patch: $1.50 oyster happy hour until six. Add a dirty martini, and the beautiful waterfront... Heaven!
Cameron W: Great outdoor waterfront seating. Try the Habenero sauce with with the fresh oysters. It is quite spicy but an unexpectedly delicious compliment to the briny little treats.
Katie T: They include a "labor charge in lieu of tipping," which imo is 1) really bad wording, 2) taking the no-tipping movement in the wrong direction. The restaurant pays for labor. Tipping is merit based.
