Description

A waterfront hidden gem serving impeccably fresh seafood in a clean, family-run setting. Friendly staff and a cozy, welcoming ambiance make it ideal for casual meals or picking up seafood to cook at home. A lively raw bar and affordable oysters complement standout dishes like scallops and Manhattan clam chowder. Picnic tables invite seaside dining (BYOB), and the location is conveniently reachable by boat or car—though shade is limited outdoors and there’s no full bar.

Very fresh seafood of good variety. Bring beer or beverage of your choice and have fresh oyster on the half shell sitting in the sun. Wonderful!

Fresh seafood! Friendly staff ! We bought shrimp and stuffed fluke they were awesome! Great place for oysters as well, didn't personally eat them but one of their regulars raved about them!

Very unassuming location but certainly a hidden gem. Been here a number of times for special events and raw bar. Will certainly make an effort to go through this winter whenever I crave oysters.
