    Notable seafood selection. Crab Louie salad was as expected but with a very small amount of crab. The branzino was nicely grilled with a nice selection of vegetables to compliment. The popular bourbon scallops were fairly salty and the scallops were very small in size. All dishes were in the mid-$30 range each which, seems pricey for lunch. Service was efficient.

    We had a party of 14 (10 is their max for reservations) and when I called in to make a reservation, they graciously upgraded us to a banquet room!! We didn’t really know what to expect, but when we showed up, we were blown away by how beautiful and private the banquet room was. We shared the room with one other large-ish party, which was totally fine because the room is super spacious. There’s lounge furniture there, long tables, and a mirror that spans across the entire wall. The ambience was 11/10 and the service was amazing. There was a small set of staff just for the banquet room, so we got everything needed super quick. We’re really thankful that the rustic oyster house team was able to not only accommodate our large party, but go above and beyond for our birthday celebration. We’ll be back!!

    BELLA IS AN AMZING SERVER, we adore her service! She was extremely attentive and kept communicating with us because our appetizers were taking longer than usual. She was very pleasant and always had a smile on her face. She kept apologizing for it taking so long but let us know she was tracking it. Please tell her we are so thankful for her service and she made our meal and time waiting wonderful! Thanks, Bella!!!

    Solid not spectacular. Waitress was very friendly but somewhat inattentive. Fish tacos and burrata salad were very good.

    The noise level in this restaurant is akin to sitting next to a jet engine. Otherwise, it’s a very good place, with an interesting menu and well prepared food.

    The food was great except the mashed potatoes that came with the scallop dish. They tasted like they came from a box. It was absolutely freezing in the restaurant despite my sweater. It made the experience awful. Despite numerous requests, (four) the temperature was never adjusted. The restaurant is very pretty, the rest of the food was terrific. Our server was very nice.

    Excellent service. Waiter went out of his way to make me feel comfortable when I arrived early; remembered my friend’s birthday & my request for candle in her dessert. Noise level was a bit high; otherwise, great experience.
