"This is the ideal spot to pregame a big dinner at Puritan & Co. next door, or eat a seafood smorgasbord at the bar, which usually has open seats. We go straight for the “something small” part of the menu for bites like raw yellowtail taco in a wonton shell and the toast with lobster and scallops whipped into a briny, nutty mousse. This oyster bar also makes one of our favorite apps in town—a crab rangoon dip with lots of sweet chili flavor and wontons for scooping. Pair it with a Shiver Me Timbers, a coconut and pineapple rum cocktail that, in spite of the name, tastes like a classy mai tai." - dan secatore, tanya edwards
