"I found Oysters I 've been looking for a place close to home to have fresh oysters. I found the place. Lucas Local Oyster Bar is only 20 minutes from home and the oysters are great. We really liked the ambiance of the restaurant. It 's rustic and nautical. Beautiful wide planked floors, church pews used for seating, oars hung throughout the restaurant, and an old rusty bicycle in the corner of the dining room. The bicycle looks like something you might find abandoned by the beach in Cape Cod. They also have a comfortable bar and an outdoor patio for dining. My wife began with a lager beer. I had the Spicy Red cocktail. House infused jalapeno tequila, habanero mash, and fresh blood orange juice. Delicious with a nice kick. As we sat at the bar, we were able to watch the woman shucking the oysters. The were fresh, sweet, and briny. The cocktail sauce and mignonette were excellent. As I was finishing my oysters, my wife ordered Chef Brett 's Summer Risotto with wood-grilled corn, scallions, roasted red fresno peppers, white wine, and parmesan cheese. It was creamy and delicious. I had the Fire Kissed Octopus with babaganush, wild arugula, citrus pickled onions, and spicy crispy chickpeas. The octopus was super tender and very tasty. We usually don 't venture in the direction of Newtown from home, but we will now that we found the Lucas Local Oyster Bar."
