I highly recommend the caviar sandwich and the blue crab tagliatelle—everything was fantastic. Arrive early (as close to 5 PM as you can) to put your name down and avoid a long wait. Food: 5/5

Do not miss the grilled oysters in curry, crab fat or the stone crabs. We also loved the crab pasta and the fish curry. The fried “chicken” ice cream was awesome. We arrived at 4:45, and there were around 30 people in line, but we were seated quickly at 5. After 5, there was no one in line and there were still a few single and two seaters left. If you have a small party, it seems like the move is to wait and try your luck or come when the first wave leaves around 6:30, there wasn’t really a line when we left. If you come early, bring a water, it’s very hot and little shade. However, the food is SO worth it. We were very impressed.

I'd seen that they don't take reservations so had emailed to ask what was the best time to arrive but didn't get a response. Arrived at about 6pm on Friday night and theplace was packed and we were turned away. However they came after us as we were crossing the road and offered us a place at astanding table. After a day on our feet it wasn't ideal but we took it as the reviews were so good. Met some lovely people alsoat the standing table and the great food and atmosphere meant we didn't really notice that we weren't seated. Would definitelyeat here again but would come earlier to get on the list. Don't really follow why they don't take reservations but create a listnightly for those that turn up super early for dinner in the knowledge that they will be turned away only to return some hourslater?

Service was great. Menu was a little hard to decide on but every dish we ordered was excellent. Small space inside, so arrive before 5pm on the weekend to ensure you can get a table a line will form outside.
