This lived up to our every expectation! The oysters and mignonette were delicious. Everything tasted fresh, delicate, and packed a lot of flavor. We went in August and aside from the oysters, the other standout for me was a black cod dish that was messier to eat than makes me comfortable in a fancy setting, but so worth it.

Intimate venue with thoughtfully presented food. Ideal for smaller parties (2 3ppl). Not for the famished. Bar was well curated; service attentive friendly. Recommended for a unique experience.

The Blue Pool oysters were both superb and flawlessly shucked. The chef's sampler was equally fantastic. I'll definitely be making another reservation. Highly recommended.

Exceptional in every sense of the word. Artistic presentation, complicated pallets that are masterfully blended, phenomenal service...What an evening.

Ambiance, presentation, and the quality of their oysters in beyond compare and the only thing that prevents this from being a 5 star is that the lead chef is rather somber and not very personable which given the open bar style of this restaurant and immediate proximity to all the staff, makes for an awkward experience. We're locals and have been here about 6-7 times and can attest this isn't an isolated experience. Given the price point everything should be exceptional, but alas.
