($1 oyster happy hour review)
Very cool space. Lofty, chill, and refined. Classic bones with contemporary accents. The bartenders were friendly and attentive. A decent beer list with a $4 IPA special (21st amendment). Their cocktails looked good too. The seafood was prepared at a small cold station at the end of the bar right in front of me. The oysters were Mystic Point, from Virginia, and they were pretty good. I had a scallop crudo, which was awesome, big&rich, and flavorful. Plus a raw clam, just to try it, which was good but very small. The oysters and clam weren't perfectly shcucked but it was all fresh. It was served with lemon and cocktail sauce topped with creamed horseradish. We also had some fried cheese nuggets with a perfectly crunchy breading and some sort of tomato jam sauce. $10 for six curd-sized bites, which is absolutely absurd, but these also might have been the best fried cheese I've ever eaten. Definitely worth another visit here.
