The best spot is definitely the table in the bay window. We started with oysters, which were delicious—especially the Chunu, White Stone, and Cannon Cove varieties. The small plates were excellent, and their Cubano was particularly noteworthy. Our service was outstanding, thanks to Yasmin! The bread pudding for dessert pushed our experience over the edge, and we spent some time wandering around the charming shops nearby to cap off a wonderful birthday evening. Oh, and the bathroom was impeccably clean!

We decided to stop by after noticing the curbside sign and ended up ordering over a dozen for an early dinner. The oysters were fresh, clean, and expertly shucked. The other food we tried was also quite tasty, and we enjoyed our drinks as well. Overall, the service was good, though we did encounter a couple of small quirks, like not being provided forks or condiments for our second round of oysters—so we had to ask the bartender for those. Nevertheless, we would gladly return. The atmosphere was fantastic, striking a nice balance between vintage diner and loungey leather booth vibes.
