So happy we stumbled upon this place and decided to try it out, what an awesome few hours we had here eating incredible oysters, drinking Rose all while outside overlooking the harbor, it was the perfect afternoon. This is a little shack that may be easy to miss if you aren't walking right past it. We happened to get the best seat in the house around 230 in the afternoon on a Saturday, right in front of the shucking station. They had bar like seating, enough room for 4-5 people. They had picnic tables and some high top tables outside, very casual setting with an incredible view of the water and boats. There were shady spots if that's what you wanted and areas to be directly in the sun. I didn't spend much time inside the little shop but the bar was inside and I did notice there was some additional seating in there. We started with Rose and a beer and the Rose was served in a very small, very very small drinking glass. I wasn't a fan of this to be honest because it felt like a water glass and I was drinking it was more quickly than I would had it been in a stemless or regular wine glass. We got a dozen oysters, two different kinds based on recommendation of the guy we were ordering from. The flavor and freshness of the oysters were no doubt, amazing. Hands down the best oysters I've ever had, but they were gritty, so that put a damper on the whole experience a little bit. We were served mignonette sauce and lemon, no cocktail sauce, which I was surprised about but also, the oysters didn't need it. I could have eaten them without any fixings and they would have been really good. They had all the additional sauces and dressing up on the oyster shucking ledge so we had everything we could possibly need right at our fingertips, truly the best seat in the house.
The service was great, we were constantly being checked on, constantly being asked if we wanted drink refills or anything additional to eat. I would make this an annual tradition because I only come out to Greenport about once a year and it's such a fun way to spend an afternoon. If you like raw oysters and a fun atmosphere you have to come check this place out. It's not cheap but it's worth it.
