Raw oysters best I have had on east coast so far. We travelled up from NC and also visited PEI really enjoyed them. The oyster rockefeller was delicious. My husband had the steak frite. Meat tender and flavourful, frites terrific. An excellent caeser salad, fresh and cold romaine, fab dressing. Our second time there in 2 weeks for lunch and does not disappoint. Servers both times have been attentive and friendly.
