Really enjoyed a happy hour snack here on the way from the airport. Highlight and what I’d go back for was the drinks and the oysters. The seafood bisque was rich and tasted of the sea but the crab cakes were pretty standard fried bar fare. The oysters and in particular the price on the oysters made this a bargain in what is otherwise a very posh space with great service. We were looking for seafood with a great view of the water and this delivered.
