ok... i understand why people would rave about this place, but it didn't particularly blow me away. \n\nmy dad and i ordered a dozen oysters, combo pan-roast and crab-meat pan-roast. \n\nthe raw oysters were very fresh. the pan-roasts were very good-tasting...at least for the first 20 bites. after that, you start to worry about how in the world you will get to the bottom of your bowl. it is a very flavorful dish with generous amounts of seafood. however, it was a bit too cheesy and creamy for my taste. maybe we should have ordered the tomato-based cioppino instead. \n\noverall, it is worth a try, but if you're not feeling too ravenous, i suggest sharing just one pan-roast with a friend.
