The Ten Bells - Broad Channel

Nice open space in the back; good spot to catch up with mates

All of your wine bar needs. There's also a sizable back room if you have a big group or say doing a celebration of some sorts.

If I ate here more often then perhaps a fourth star. This was a one-off trying to kill an hour. It was a carafe of red and 18 oysters. The house red was perfect and the oysters still had some of the ocean still in them. A nice experience. Go.

I was really concerned with the cleanliness in regards to food. Flies were landing on oysters which were sitting on the bar for 10—15 mins at a time before being served, the cole slaw had a rotten mayonnaise taste-smell situation, same with the pickle. Also just had a chance to witness the meat/cheese cutting station and it appeared to be quiet grimy. The 10 bells in Brooklyn is wayyyy better with more space and lighting and food is much fresher there.

Super cozy, nice oysters and friendly staff. I mean everyone!
