    We love the raw oysters and the main meals. The service is great! However, big however, our whole party of 4 agreed that the tables are way too small for four adults. It is really ridiculous. The chairs are not really comfortable either. Renovate please. We’ll be back when you do.

    They sent us in a small dining room right at the window. Very intimate and quiet. The service was excellent by James. I got there rockfish special and it was delicious! We don’t, however recommend the oysters, Rockefeller… The oysters got completely lost in all of the fixings.

    Another outstanding lunch at a famous Williamsburg ‘go to’ restaurant. Three types of local oysters @ $1 ea. Mixed the menu of the day with the lunch and had some fabulous grouper as well as calamari. Service attentive and unobtrusive - quite busy for a late lunch but table turnover was efficient and not really noticeable. Shall return soon, :-)

    I had a seafood dish with sautéed shrimp, fish, chorizo, and crab/crawfish bites. It was all good except for the crab/crawfish bites. They tasted off and I could not eat them.
