We were seated and looked after promptly. The food was very good and was served in a timely manner. The staff were very helpful and efficient. A man was shucking oysters nearby if diners were ordering. Well run and very good food. Not a very big menu but everything ordered was great. Hard to find though. Hidden away on a side street.
