Fodor's Review:

In his smart, naturally comfortable restaurant, Patrick McMurray—who won the 48th World Oyster Opening Championship in Galway, Ireland, by shucking 30 oysters in under four minutes—is a walking encyclopedia of oyster lore. He gives you a still-quivering pink scallop, an Emerald Cove, a Belon, or a Malpeque and informs you of the qualities of each. His oven-roasted black cod, East Coast lobsters, crisp salads, and homemade desserts will make you fall for Starfish hook, line, and sinker.

Wonderful selection of oysters from someone who knows oysters. The 100 for 100 is a great deal, available sun thru wed. Hot dishes were also nice. Grilled sardines were tasty and the frites were bistro worthy.
