Gift Tips
- Use a gift toward a seafood tasting—start with the fresh Alaskan oysters and add a few small plates like mushroom toast or smoky fish cakes to share.
- Plan to arrive near opening (around 5pm) to avoid long waits and increase your chance of getting a seat without a long hold time.
- If visiting the bar, ask for recommendations from servers like Sean or Brandon; staff are known to pair dishes with the current beer and wine list.
- Save part of the gift for dessert—the cream cheese ice cream and carrot cake parfait are standout treats to finish the meal.
- If you like standout starters, the mushroom toast and Brussels sprouts are both popular choices.
- The shrimp and grits, halibut, and salmon special are standout choices for a hearty main course.
