Highly recommend their daily happy hour (4-6) for $1 local oysters and discounted drinks. Their entire menu for dinner is delicious -- and the staff is also super kind. Recommend reservations (available on OpenTable).

Great for lunch options, or to pick up a rotisserie chicken if you don't feel like cooking. They have prepared food (sandwiches) or meat (steaks, bacon, hamburger/hot dogs)
