Upscale steakhouse, at least in terms of price (the atmosphere is more barlike). But the cost reflects the good quality of the meat.

The fast-casual treatment for seafood. Good quality, nice people.

The oysters were nice and cold and a decent medium size — not too small and not too big as to be intimidating. They weren’t shucked very well, and I had to pull the meat away from the shell with my fork, which resulted in leaving some behind. The shucker has the sharp knife, and after using it to pry open the shell he should slice under the muscle to completely free it.

From the list of Italian dinners I had focused on the eggplant parmigiana, and I was happy to see that it was available in an appetizer portion for $7.99. And that was just the right size, too. The eggplant was a bit seedy, but the flavors of the tomato sauce and herbs and gooeyness of the mozzarella cheese were all very pleasant, though that isn’t a word I would use to describe the service.
