From the soft shell crabs to the flatbread (not to mention the oyters!), this place has definitely filled a niche in the village for great, fresh, inventive food. The atmosphere wasn't all that, but they more than made up for it with the menu and the service!

  • If it's helpful to compare one place to another, go for it.
  • Come up with clever, funny, pithy subject lines, and write in the first person.
