I take my Father-in-Law here everytime he comes to town. We are going tomorrow for lunch. What would you order?

Oysters are a hard no but there's other good stuff here too.

Oak grilled octopus to start
Crispy snapper

We had the oak grilled octopus last time and it was really good. A little spicy.

The red snapper ceviche sounds really good, but would probably go with the shrimp cocktail and the Crispy Snapper or the Scallops.

Nothing better than spicy grilled octopus

Start with a dozen malpeque oysters. My personal favorite.
The mussels and clams in white wine sound top notch too!

On a cold day I’ll take Clark’s Cioppino.

 

[Parrot]

One each of the oysters and the ciopinno.

I don’t think I’ve tried any of those yet.

We just order a bunch of random oysters normally. I’ll have to make sure we order some malpeque tomorrow.

I love ciopinno but don’t think I’ve had it there yet. I’d agree it would have to be a cold day for me to order it though.

Telling that an oyster bar in Texas doesn’t have oysters from its waters.

I want one of each of the oysters and a Lobster Roll.

 

[Mmaynard11]

Northern Belle Oysters and a Lobster Roll.

one heck of a menu there.

I’m not a big oysters guy but Branzino is one of my favorite seafood dishes so that’s my pick for sure.

 

[Thrillbilly Jim]

New England Clam Chowder
Key Lime Tart

Yeah there’s one restaurant in town I normally go to and they have 99 cent Texas oysters. They are good but not as good as Clark’s.

We’ve had the Lobster roll before and it’s good. I’m adding a Northern Belle oyster to the menu as well tomorrow.

Do they allow mix and matching of the oysters?

My FIL likes their clam chowder.

Oh yeah. We normally get two of each and get like 6 different ones.
