Die Spezialität sind frische, verschiedene Austern, die der Hammer sind. Die Portionen sind nicht riesig aber sehr sehr gut.

The restaurant received mixed reviews, with some customers complaining about rude service, ingredient shortages, and high prices. However, many diners raved about the fresh and delicious food, especially the oysters. The upscale atmosphere and top-notch service were highlighted, making it a popular spot for special occasions and date nights. The establishment was praised for its chic decor and exceptional seafood offerings, with the oysters being a standout menu item. Overall, despite some previous disappointments, the restaurant seems to have made a positive impression on recent visitors, with a renewed focus on quality and value.
