"Owned by Raz Halili, a San Leon native who supplies the oysters through his family-owned company Prestige Oysters, this James Beard award-nominated restaurant offers a charming waterfront dining experience and — especially around sunset. Start with drinks like the gin-fueled Green Parrot, made with green chili, cucumber, basil, and a spicy tincture, or stick with your Railean rum kick with the passion fruit-flavored Blonde Hurricane. Then, slurp down raw oysters on the half-shell and grilled renditions, like the Hot Blooded oysters topped with zesty garlic, sriracha, and habanero butter, before diving into dishes like Joe Cervantez’s signature grilled redfish served with a chimichurri sauce, the chili-marinated and grilled Piri Piri shrimp served with turmeric rice, or the decadent seafood pasta made with Bay shrimp, poached lobster, and cherry tomatoes in a citrus cream sauce." - Brittany Britto Garley
