Social News Network: Fact: best seafood in Austin! (until proven otherwise) It's pricy, but u can get a bunch of their appetizers and share w/your friends. Musts: oysters, oyster Shooters, calamari, ceviche, wedge salad.
Kevin Skobac: The wood grilled oysters, crispy Texas snapper, and lobster role were all fantastic. A worthwhile break from barbecue and tex-mex.
Kristin Benton: Fabulous crab cake! Not cheap food but worth it!

Sujei Sierra: Got 3 different oysters both west and east coast and everything was delicious. You can't go wrong!
Justin Martin: Brilliant experience! Caviar was to die for, crab cakes were meaty & not much filler, the ceviche is one of the best, anywhere, & I could eat the sprouts all day long. Great wine, great restaurant!
Monica Desai: Incredible lobster roll, shells and crab, baked oyster and more ++ amazing vibes. Tough res, though!
Gabbie Chamorro: Highly recommend the lobster bisque, fried oysters, tuna steak, corn side. Get the red fish only if really hungry/up for fried fish. Banana desert is really great.
Brian Yates: Fantastic crab tacos!
Motts Demerl: My bone in ribeye was outstanding, the crab cake, pot stickers, & kung pao calamari were great as well! I had the BLT salad and that too was fantastic! The service was excellent! The live music was A+

Morgan S: Wednesday nights are half-price champagne and oysters. They have the best oyster selection I've run across in Austin.
pt: Wednesday is 1/2 price oyster and champagne night!! My favorites I've tried so far are the Cameron Shoal, Caraquette, Mill Point, and Blue Point. For dessert, try their basil ice cream!!
Kathryn Yu: Skip the cocktails and go straight for the food. Sweetbreads with tongue, butter leaf lettuce salad with bacon, classic steak tartare, the ceviches, and the oysters are all excellent.

Crystal Lin: Lobster main meal is the best! 😀🍱
Austin Chronicle: Fresh, authentic lobster rolls served either Maine Style (mayo, celery, Bibb lettuce) or Connecticut Style (with lemon-tarragon drawn butter and scallions). Both are heavenly. Read more.
Lisa K: Might be a little pricey but when you see the huge chunks of lobster, it's worth it!

MaryAnn Diaz: Sunday brunch is well worth it. 18.95 for catfish, tilapia, snow crab a carving station and of course, white chocolate bread pudding!
Auto Service Experts: The Crab Stuff Salmon is amazing. I will be back!!!!!
Ratul Sengupta: Oysters Rockefeller are great but take time. Order them right upfront.
Dallas Foodie (Danielle G.): Some of the best TexMex in Austin. Get a rooftop table at sunset and order Ahi Tuna Ceviche (comes with amazing chips), lobster tacos (full of lobster sweetness), and a 100% Agave Margarita (strong).
Cheri 🍓 Berry: The lobster taco appetizer is melt-in-your-mouth delicious.
Bruna Calheiros: Get The Lobster Tacos. They are amazing! Also their sangria is pretty unique with a touch of cinnamon. ;)

Beth S.: Egg toast, fried oysters, kale salad, and ice cream sandwich 🏆
Nicole Franzen: Fried oysters and poached eggs with mustard hollandaise 👍🏻
Cat Nunnery: Crab toast, chicken liver pate, and the burger are out of this world. So much flavor packed into each bite.
