    Soup special was delicious- red chowder the sashimi bowl fish was very fresh but cut a little thicker than I like. Overall menu was a bit more eclectic than I expected for an oyster house. Service was terrific

    Excellent food with unique twist on entrees and appetizers - amazing flavors. Great view of the Pismo Pier, service was great, except a bit slow on the drink delivery. Love the menu - seafood lovers will really enjoy it, but also had exceptional pork dish entree. Went for a graduation celebration, and we all had a great time and loved the drinks and food.

    Both the fresh and baked oysters were very tasty. The mushroom risotto was excellent. The Cesar salad dressing was missing any anchovy flavor which was the only disappointment.

    Everything we had was outstanding - PEI oysters, grilled octopus, duck, pork chop, even the Caesar salad - was delicious. Smokey old fashion was recommended from the bar downstairs and the smoke bubble in the drink special was awesome! Excellent service as well!

    I try to eat here as much as I can. Food is always excellent. Pork Chip and Scallops are my favorites. But that Crudo dish we had last night was perfect. Can’t wait until I go again.
