Kitchen and bar right there in front of you.We got some steamer clams and some raw oysters. (I just moved to FL from Long Island so I can claim to have some of the best in the country for both . These were FRESH, cleaned, shucked and prepared perfectly. Seasoning was awesome (not too much...just some subtle flavoring The clams broth was all so perfect with sliced roll with melted cheese. The horseradish and cocktail sauce was also a nice quality condiment/accompaniment if needed/wanted.Service stunning and friendly. We never wanted for anything.
