Delicious seafood and pasta, great value!
We ordered the rustic seafood stew and shrimp + squid ink pasta. It was absolutely delicious. We paid $75 and found it to be inexpensive for how delicious it was. In other places, they charge almost the same for just 2 burgers.

Lively Halloween Dinner with Great Oysters
My experience was seru (exciting) and rame (crowded) during Halloween. I highly recommend trying the raw oyster menu; it was a must-try. The grilled oysters were also good, but I preferred the raw ones.

Delicious Seafood with a Wait
My experience at this popular seafront eating establishment was quite positive. I enjoyed not only the oysters and beer but also the well-executed cooked food. The restaurant offers delicious seafood-centric fare at reasonable pricing. Be prepared for a longish wait during 'rush' hours, as reservations are recommended.

Great Oysters, Limited Menu
My experience at this restaurant was centered around their oysters, which were overall great and impressively large. While the menu is a bit limited, it makes sense given their focus on doing oysters exceptionally well. Be prepared, as it can be a little pricey. I'd recommend getting there early, even on a weekday, because the line grew fast. Thankfully, they have plenty of seating.

Excellent Oysters, Seafood Stew, and Mussels!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, making it a great place for a celebration or just a great meal. I particularly enjoyed the excellent oysters, the flavorful seafood stew, and the delicious mussels (don't forget the fries!). The service was friendly and speedy, and the location is unbeatable.

Perfect patio dining experience!
My experience at this restaurant was the best! Nothing beats enjoying grilled oysters with a nice glass of wine on the patio, where you can people watch. The food was a perfect 5/5, and the atmosphere was a solid 4/4. It's a great spot for lunch, with a price range of $30–50 per person.

Delicious Oysters and Clam Chowder!
My experience at the restaurant was incredibly positive, especially regarding the food. The oysters were so incredibly delicious! I also had the clam chowder and I cannot find words to describe the flavor! So so good. The service was excellent too! Can’t wait to go back!

Great Food, Lacking Service Professionalism
My experience at this restaurant was a mix of great food and a disappointing service. The menu offered a good variety, and the food itself was enjoyable. However, I wish the staff were genuinely more professional and friendly. It felt like their primary focus was on securing a tip, and their demeanor was very cold and borderline rude. The atmosphere was pleasant, contributing positively to the dining experience, but the service aspect significantly detracted from it.

Exceptional Oysters and Kimchi Beer
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! The Sweetwater oysters were the best I've had on a mixed platter. I was also pleasantly surprised by the kimchi beer, which exceeded my expectations. The food, service, and atmosphere were all rated a perfect 5, making for a truly memorable dinner.

Great for Drinks, Mediocre for Full Meals
I've experienced places that seem perfect on paper but turn out to be just 'okay' when you try them. That's how I felt about the food here. This place is ideal for grabbing a drink and enjoying the ocean view while having an appetizer. However, for a full meal, I wouldn't say it's worth it. But, this is just my opinion. Salu2
