Rick was phenomenal. I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted to order but when I described my cravings, he knew exactly what sides and cocktails worked best.
The oysters he recommended ( Ichiban and Fanny Bay) were tasty and my doubts over combining aioli and powered sugar with eggplant are gone.
Everything was perfect. -

This should be nice, but the food was more than disappointing.
The mussels in a herb broth was tasty, but a third of the mussels were not open, the battered oysters were odd to say the least, one oyster, but the batter was 6 inches long by 3 inches thick for each oyster. The oyster was tasty, but completely swamped by the pretty tasteless batter.
The shrimp cocktail was ok, but the jumbo shrimp was a bit chewy.
After this we thought maybe some fish and chips. This was completely inedible. If there was fish there, I could not find it, the batter was doughy and tasteless. -

Amy was a great server. Very attentive and gave us excellent recommendations!!:) 5/5 stars
Update, came back another monday and sat at the bar. Ava recommended me the sliders which were SO good, didn't even have time to take a picture with them. Excellent service and s great all around experience :) -

Price is right in the bar section. There are some great deals on their 5 for $5 menu and their $10 bottomless mimosas are on point. If you check into yelp you get a free drink for up to $12. The staff was extremely friendly and the food was phenomenal. The oysters were so tasty. I did the baked Parmesan oysters and it was some of the best mixture on them I've had.

Beautiful view and nice bar. Had happy hour drinks, plus tried some tapas style dishes. We enjoyed the polenta sticks and crab cakes. Chowder was full of clams but a bit too thick for me, although the flavor was spot on.
Service was thoughtful and they pushed two tables together for us for our growing party, which we appreciated.
Will definitely try again when in the area.
Convenient parking in the garage below.
