Gift Tips

  • Try the oyster sampler if you want to compare different East and West Coast oysters in one order.
  • Look for the lobster roll or lobster pan roast if you want a rich seafood choice that feels like a treat.
  • Visit during Social Hour or Buck-a-Shuck Mondays for a more affordable way to enjoy the raw bar and drinks.
  • Order the seafood paella when dining with a group, since it is a large and filling dish with plenty to share.
  • Save room for chocolate beignets or creme brulee to finish the meal on a sweet note.
