from Google"So psyched that Waterbury keeps on getting better and it was already great. My wife and I had a great meal and drinks here. Great atmosphere, vibe and staff. Food was amazing. We could not have been more happy with deviled eggs, tuna salad and pork belly tacos. So good!!!"
"Wow, this is a find! It’s very small with no reservations so arrive early. Open Wed-Sat. Service is great and they really take pride in their food. The oysters are amazing! Fresh and tasty. We got a platter of a dozen oysters for $26 and were treated to 3 different kinds: one from Massachusetts and 2 kinds from Maine. I loved one of the Maine kinds and the other Maine oysters were a favorite as well. Affordable and some of the best oysters I’ve ever had. Tuna sashimi and spicy tuna salad are both well worth it – fresh and amazing flavor. We loved the watercress salad that came with most of our dishes – I’m not sure I even knew I liked watercress before this. The shrimp cocktail was good but small and again fresh. Fingerlings potatoes were great but small and could do with less stuff on it – cheese and bacon are plenty. Chicken tacos had super fresh cilantro and lime. Seafood roll – my other half liked it better than I did as I felt that the squid rings seem to overpower the dish for me – the brioche roll was lightly toasted and buttered to perfection. The presentation of all the dishes is appealing and professional. The menu is hard to describe – super fresh ingredients resulting in a slightly ever evolving menu, almost a dozen different “drinking snacks” including a number of dips – raw oysters, raw clams, raw tuna and a few tacos and sandwiches – bigger portions than a tapas plate but not a full sized dinner plate. Parking can be a bit confusing as it’s on the other side of the Hen of the Woods (we used that parking lot – just make sure you pay because they will ticket) and the place is hard to find as it seems surrounded by the Tropic Brewing. Overall, we can’t wait to go back for more – top picks are oysters and tuna dishes."
"Great experience. Sought them out for the oysters. They did not disappoint—two types from Maine and one from Cape Cod. These were the star of the show. Excellent deviled eggs. Outstanding service from the barkeep and the open kitchen chef. Great drink & food menu. The place is tight—especially at the bar. Maybe seats 25+. Thank you. We’ll be back!"
"Loved our experience here. Service was great and food was fantastic. The tuna sashimi and ciopinno butter roasted oysters were so good. Can’t wait to come back!"
