"Beautiful seafood and wonderful service!My experience at Betty Lou’s was hospitality realized; a warm welcome at the door, great banter, and fantastic service. We started our meal with a dozen East Coast oysters (blue point) and a half-dozen West Coast oysters (Miyagi), which came with strong horseradish, cocktail sauce, lemons, and Tabasco or Tapatio on request.For our mains, I had the branzino special, served with a lemon butter sauce with capers, some garlic sauteed carrots and Brussels sprouts, and a side of scalloped potatoes, while my aunt had the seafood risotto (clams, mussels, prawns, sea scallops, bay shrimp, calamari) and my uncle had Mike’s wok crab (whole cracked crab, scallions, cilantro, garlic, ginger, soy sauce). Absolutely everything was cooked beautifully!We had a great time chatting with our server and the owner, who also recommended great spots just down the street for dessert and coffee.While some might see Betty Lou’s described as “old-school” and think “outdated”, I’d invite people to see this restaurant as classic, unpretentious, and straightforward. Yes, there are restaurants with more modern, or contemporary takes on seafood, but I really enjoyed that Betty Lou’s took the time and the care to make sure that seafood is the undeniable focus and that it’s done well. I’ll definitely be back!"
