"The Walrus And The Carpenter is like the Magic Kingdom of oysters. They always have upwards of eight different local types, the staff can recommend an oyster that suits your size/brininess preferences, and the tangy mignonette that comes on the side is great. But you’re going to have a good meal here regardless of what you order, especially if you get a bunch of the excellent small plates, like the roasted beets with burrata, the beef tartare, or even whipped butter and Seawolf bread. The best part is that everything, oysters and all, pairs well with the sparkling wines on rotation here. Also important: if you’re in the mood for cooked oysters, the cornmeal-crusted ones here are delicious." - aimee rizzo
