“ I really enjoyed the happy hour and the free parking makes me want to go back very very soon! The buffalo shrimp was my favorite because of the crunch and the sauce was flavorful. The mussels were the least favorite but after I sprinkled on some salt I finished those off. The service was friendly enough but I had to go find a salt shaker and looked around a few times before my water was refilled. ”
“ A cute spot for seafood and brunch located at the Row in DTLA. Friendly service, decent portions, and a nice atmosphere with a good amount of seating and an outdoor patio perfect for a dog. The oyster po boy came with quite a few fried oysters, which was generous for the price. Would come back to this spot! ”
“ One of my favorite places to eat! Lobster shrimp quesadillas & grilled oysters are amazing! Ceviche also delicious. Service is great as well! ”
“ I had a wonderful, delicious meal and experience at your restaurant this past Tuesday. It was my first time and it did not disappoint. DJ was our server and he took great care of us. I was quick to ask about the most popular or highly recommended item on the menu other than oysters. He recommended the lobster roll. It was one of the most flavorful I have ever tasted. If you ever have a chance to go, please do not hesitate to. I cannot wait to return soon! ”
“ If you're looking for a decent bite with a great ambiance try this spot. The food was delicious and drinks were great. The customer service didn't blow my socks off. They were kind and attentive. Over all pretty good first time visit. Next time I'll explore the menu and maybe try the seafood and oysters. ”
“ I've been wanting to come here for a few years now and finally got the chance after an event at The Row. Came here on a busy Saturday evening with some friends and was immediately seated outside on the patio, which had heaters going. I can't speak too much on the inside, but the ambiance outside was super cute with lights and the background view of The Row. Got the steak aguachile as my main and shared truffle fries with the table. The fries were amazing and the steak aguachile was delightful! It definitely had a good kick and the flavors were magnificent. While it was a main dish, I was very surprised at how large the portion was! Definitely something you could split with another person or two. My only gripe was that it was mostly cucumbers and onions atop the steak. Made it flavorful and very refreshing, but the amount of cucumbers and onions was a bit overwhelming -- could definitely just used about half. Still, it was super tasty and just what I needed! Service was excellent as the staff regularly checked up on our table but wasn't overly hovering or rushing. Our server (whose name escapes me) was wonderful and friendly. Parking was super easy at The Row parking garage and the restaurant validates. Definitely want to come back and try their seafood, especially their oysters. Highly recommend if you're in the area! ”
“ I had a great time here for lunch. I love the decor and outdoor seating for this restaurant. It draws you in when you walk by. I had incredible service by DJ. He was hilarious and we did not have to wait long for anything. His suggestions were spot on for everything. So, when it came down to trying a few sauces or other things I was not sure of, I listened and ultimately was happy I did. I cannot recommend the oyster po boy enough. It was SO GOOD. ”
“ This place is in a weird spot downtown LA but turns out to be a great place. It's just south of Japan Town on Alameda... not safe but once you're in this multi-use compound, you're sheltered. Food: all the savory foods like, lobster rolls, lobster tacos, lobster benedicts are all really good. The oysters were great. Fresh, briny and bright. Desserts... needs a bit of work. But that's not why you come here. The food cart seen 50 yards away was playing super loud music so that killed the vibe. But overall really good. All lobster dishes were tasty and cooked correctly. Service is unhurried. I will be back. Brunch for 4 with 3 drinks and 2 desserts and 20% tip was 255$. ”
“ I will fallow the suggested list... The food is amazing and delicious.... I'm totally going back again because of the food !!!!! The service was good. I really enjoyed the restaurant. It's really comfortable and everything was nice and clean. . We had the lobster mac & cheese, the shrimp quesadilla . 4 raw oysters, and 4 baked oysters... and the ceviche . Totally delicious,,,,definitely five stars when it comes to the food.. The prices are reasonable, especially for the portions they serve... yes it's a little expensive but I think it's worth it. I'm completely honest when i write/post a review,,,, the only issue I had with this restaurant, was the a fly was constantly bothering us ., and the staff seen us trying to swatting it away. But did nothing.... That was disappointing... Besides that , like I said the food was great. ”
