    Myself and my 2 friends met for Lunch. They each had steak tips, asparagus and new potatoes. I had a beet salad with goat cheese, fennel, candied walnuts and added Shrimp.(3). The quantities are large so we all had take home leftovers. The flavors were good. Our server was very attentive and organized. We will certainly come back again.

    We did the oyster shucking class and it did not disappoint! Do not eat before because that appetizers were plentiful and incredible! There was half of a lobster roll for every person with a bunch of other incredible bites to eat including a caviar cone. There was a nice charcuterie board as well as a fish pate. One drink of choice included with the ticket and I had an incredible cocktail. The staff overall was great, the class was simple, down to the point, with plenty of personal attention. Chef made us feel right at home and interacted with everyone. Right after the class you could stay for food and more incredible cocktails. I would recommend this as a great date night. Can't wait to come back and enjoy the full meal. Oysters were fresh with a good variety of choices.
