“ Great restaurant! The aesthetic is very classy Baltimore vibes. Great menu and even though I got a simple salad, it was amazing. They have a vast selection of drinks. I got an aperol spritz, which was good. They had a craft event in a back room where I think they have events. It was a Valentine’s Day oyster painting thing. Apparently they also had one for Christmas ornaments. Going to be on the lookout for upcoming events because it was really cute for both kids and adults. ”
“ I typed three paragraphs and it was erased somehow so I’m gonna leave it be as the universe doesn’t make mistakes. So in short... crab cakes not in season yet, tall slender well dressed manager needs a promotion. Sits off the harbor you might be lucky to get a table with a view. Bartender staff is well versed in bar options and menu offerings. I’ll be back when the crab cakes are in season. If I had a way to curse out google for deleting my original message I would! ”
“ Alright I was very skeptical when I tried the fried oyster appetizer as it was not that impressive. The crab cake however, truly made up for that! When I tell they do not skimp on the crab meat...that was the largest crab cake I’ve ever had. I was full after eating it and highly recommend it. Very flavorful. Worth every penny. ”
“ Our first visit was excellent! We first did the raw bar for the winter weekend happy hour, and beers and oysters were very reasonable and high quality. We returned for dinner, where all the food was excellent, again. For appetizers, we had the scallop ceviche and calamari, both of which were rich and well seasoned. For main, my lobster roll was one of the better lobster rolls I’ve ever had, and was sized well. The homemade ketchup was very good, as well. I also tried to lobster gnocchi which was great. We wrapped up with bread pudding and strawberry ice cream for desert. I’m generally not a bread pudding person, but this was excellent and I would absolutely try it again. Highly recommend visiting! ”
“ My foodie companion was craving oysters, so we made an advance reservation to avoid having to wait for a table, as this Fells Point spot can get crowded on a sunny spring day. We were seated upstairs, and the service was friendly and attentive. We started with drinks – for me, an orange crush, and for him, a tall, cold Narragansett – a dozen mixed variety of oysters – the ability to select one or several of numerous varieties was a most welcomed treat – and a bunch of fresh shrimp with cocktail sauce fixings. The raw bar never disappoints – the large, plump crustaceans were delightfully chilled and tender. The oysters came out perfectly shucked and ready to pick up and slurp down – cravings satisfied. I chose the Friday special Bouillabaisse and was delighted with my selection. A most generous portion of homemade pasta was topped with assorted seafood in a savory sauce - my palate was quite pleased. Stuffed from his east coast oyster tour, my friend opted for the blue crab, short rib soup, and a more than generous portion of the beach fries. He noted the soup had a deep, rich flavor as his spoon danced around the bowl to savor the last bite. The fries proved to be a nice accompaniment to the meal. If you’re visiting Fells Point, make that reservation, don’t skip a raw bar treat, and enjoy one of old Baltimore’s treasures. ”
“ absolutely delicious. Highly recommend the lobster roll, crab cake, and the fish n chips! Cucumber salad was a nice refreshing side and everything tasted amazing. Drinks made the cost per person a bit higher, but overall a very nice place. ”
“ Delicious meal! Very knowledgeable and personable waitstaff. They were attentive but not hovering. Great oyster selection. ”
“ I really enjoyed the ambiance of this place the most. When we arrived there was no tables available but they really took care to ensure that we were signed up and ready to go so that we can get a table as soon as possible. In addition I had to use the rest room and they were full and the kind lady showed me another one on the second floor. That level of care is so important to me. It was a little bit of a wait, but the food was defiantly worth it! I had the fish and chips and it was absolutely Devine. The home made hot sauce was also amazing too. My friends had the lobster roll and the crab cake and they share the same sentiment. I will be back AGAIN! Beth is the best server on the world and I can’t wait to see her again! ”
