"we had a wonderful time in the oyster house of elliott! we have made an online booking for an outside table and were sitting shortly after the arrival. the outside seats are so prepared for the occasional bootshorn next to the argosy cruises. our server was fantastic and recommended to utter for us to try as it was our first time. for a few oysters newbies who only tried fried oysters, this was surprisingly delicious. the pesto manila clams with the brot was probably the best part of the meal. it was so good! we ordered the seafood cavatappi and the grilled scallops for entrees and both were delicious. as we celebrated a birthday, we got a free dessert and there was a card waiting for us when we arrived. there is a 20% service fee which is taxed on its bill. when they go on their website, it says that they don't have to tap on it, but our server has mentioned that the fee is distributed to all and each additional tipp will only go on the server. we decided to type the service fee because our server was so attentive and helpful. I wish that would be a bit clearer or taken away because it just seems strange. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant for anyone who celebrates a special occasion or splurgits something for some delicious seafood."
