Great lobster roll.
Tried NOLA oysters for the first time, they were pretty good.
Also had a sample of the fish dip which was really great.
Great customer service from the bartender and all of the servers

The restaurant was pretty full when we arrived, but we were greeted, seated, and served very quickly. We sat at the bar near the kitchen, so I was able to watch them prepare our food. The kitchen ran like a well oiled machine. Everyone knew their role and worked to get the food out.
And what amazing food it was! We had a half order of the grilled oysters with butter and parmesean cheese. Followed by grilled snapper over rice with asparagus, and a crab fried rice. All of it was incredible.
The employees were very friendly and the staff shucking the oysters explained to me the difference between the types of oysters they had on hand. I learned they were all the same species but the flavor differed due to changes in their environment. Very interesting.
We were in and out in less than an hour, but never felt rushed. I highly recommend.

Had lunch at this trendy seafood restaurant. Not a lot of seating so time accordingly. I ordered a fried clam roll and salad. My friend ordered a lobster roll (with mayo, which in my opinion, is sacrilegious). They also offered lobster rolls with melted butter. Salad was very good as was the dressing. The clam roll was good, but I detected a hint of old bay in the batter. And they could put a few more whole bellies for the price. I counted 7-8. My friend said the lobster roll was good. I thought it lacked large chunks of lobster meat. They had a full house at lunch. I would probably not go back when in town, but overall, it was a good experience. I am a native Rhode Islander and put a high bar when it comes to seafood.
