    The service was thoughtful and attentive without being intrusive, and the wine recommendation was spot on. We ordered oysters—I like them briny and bare—but the cucumber foam on these sweet things was revelatory, very good. We shared the tart, which was fine, but the layers could have been more distinct or more flavorful or something. Squid was great with the two textures. And we shared the fish head, which was fun and delicious. Great sauce with it.

    Clam chowder and salad was great. Mussels were bland and dessert of chocolate tart so-so (not delicious) Service was skimpy and parsed bw about 4 or 5 different people. I’d give it an overall 3 out of 5.
