For seafood and oysters you have to come here. The food is great - try the salmon tatar - the service polite and attentive. The atmosphere is great at tables and bar.

Conveniently located on Kenmore Square, this place is busy but worth visiting. They have an amazing selection of oysters, and their lobster roe pasta with braised short rib is absolutely the best pasta dish I've ever eaten.

Thanks to trip advisor we reserved a table there. Don't try it without a reservation. The service is super friendly and fast. Sometimes too fast for my taste.

Wonderful food and service. We made a reservation and were seated upon arrival. Nice menu and filling portions.

Food is excellent, very busy place so recommend reservations (and be on time- they cancelled ours when we were 17min late). If you like oysters this is fantastic place with roughly a dozen different varieties from around the country to sample.
