The name is a misnomer. Yes, they have oysters on the half shell, but they are really more of a gourmet, seafood restaurant, old style. The food is outstanding. The baked oysters with tabasco, onions monterey jack are outstanding. The stuffed shrimp very rich and very good. The blackened grouper was a grand slam. This however is not a cut-off... more

Out of all the restaurants we went to, this one was one of the greatest. The service was excellent! The oysters rockerfeller was the best I've ever had. They made the best gator tail too.
