Originally an oyster bar and saloon established in 1867, this downtown seafood house retains much of its period décor. Fish artwork adorns the walls, and dishes like scallops, calamari, and crab legs dominate the menu. A few original wood booths with curtains, a linoleum floor, and gruff service are a welcome part of the package.
