Sound oysters, shucked to order.
A harbor-side oyster house working Long Island Sound growers and day-boat landings. Cold raw bar, Connecticut warm-butter lobster rolls, whole fish off the wood grill — and a catch board that changes with the tide.

Whatever's best off the boat, grilled over hardwood with lemon, olive oil and herbs. Deboned tableside on request.
Market priceA rotating list of Sound & beyond.
Six to ten oysters on the board most nights — a few from right here in the Sound, a few from up the coast. We'll walk you through briny to sweet and pour something crisp to go with them.

Off the boats, not the truck.
We buy from Long Island Sound oyster growers and day-boat landings along the Connecticut and Rhode Island shore. What's good that morning is what's on the board that night — which is why the catch list changes and some prices read "market."
Ask your server where tonight's fish came in — they'll know the boat.
What regulars say
"Best oysters between New Haven and the shoreline, and they actually tell you where each one is from."
"The warm-butter lobster roll is the correct kind of lobster roll. I will not be taking questions."
"Sat at the raw bar, let them pick the dozen. Perfect low-key date night on the water."
