    Excellent meal. Burgers were super yummy and cooked well with an extra large portion of crispy salty fries. Caesar salad was crunchy and perfectly dressed with buttery croutons. Also loved the fried Brussels, and the house cosmos were a 10/10!!

    amazing place!! very ambient, dishes were both gorgeous and delicious and not too expensive. definitely recommend getting the oysters (duh) -- i don't love raw seafood, but their oysters were incredible. the lobster bisque was super rich and creamy, and the calamari was very well-fried and paired with a fantastic sauce. the highlight for me was the lobster roll with the most amazing french fries ever!! (and my brother's mac and cheese was delicious)
