The food was very good but of the dishes the chowder and crab Louie salad were the best. On the salad, the deviled eggs were a nice touch and the asparagus gave it a nice crunch. The dressing was good but the crab was excellent. I didn't try the oysters because I don't eat them, but I heard they were excellent ordered 6 different varieties. I ordered the Lobster roll but thought the flavor and the French fries were OK.The server didn't check on us much. We saw her when we ordered and when we paid the check. I had to ask for more water. The restaurant is small and parking may be hard to find. We were fortunate with the parking.

Had there fresh oysters (briny wonders) and their selection from the raw bar. When there are no sauces to hide behind the fish better be fresh and it was. A gem off the main drag of old town. Parking best in one of the structures found on Fair Oaks or Union.
