“Vibey little bar in downtown Boise. Great cocktail menu. Oysters and super fresh and delicious - I get ~*skeptical*~ about eating seafood in a landlocked state but these oysters were top notch! Nice wine list - got the bubbles to pair with the oysters, plus the oyster po boy and lobster roll were really good too. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Staff was super helpful and friendly (even when they were busy). Would definitely stop by here for a drink or snacks or dinner or all of the above!“

“Really enjoyed this place. The oysters were great and fresh but my God those fries could end wars. Seriously some of the best fries I've ever had. Thin, perfectly fried and salted. Mmm. Lexie is a great bartender too!“

“I've wanted to try this place in downtown Boise since Sept., when I had a hankering for really good raw oysters and mussels...you know...your parents fine-dining seafood. When Mother's Day rolled along (the day before, actually), my husband and I planned to drop in and try the fresh catch of the day — whatever that may be. We expected a line just to get in, but lucked out when we arrived around 6 p.m. No line. (They no longer take reservations, according to their IG.) Our server sat us outside, so we could enjoy the view (people-watching) in the cool sunshine. Definitely order the raw oysters. They usually have a selection from East to West Coast, from CA Kumamotos to MA Wellfleets. We tried both. Both were fresh and cucumbery — signs of clean-harvested oysters. But our new favorites were the Wellfleets, which were also slightly bigger, brighter, and garlicky. Oysters were served with three sauce: a zingy cocktail sauce, a zingier mignonette, and a vaguely sweet cucumber. We took to loading our oysters with a combo of cocktail sauce and mignonette. The surprise of the evening...the lobster avocado salad, with thinly sliced potato and beet and a small clump of well-dressed tangy micro-greens. They tasted better than my lobster roll. My lobster was a tad over-cooked and the roll was a bit dry. I couldn't detect any remoulade, which would've helped the flavor. We also could've done without the Old Bay fries (couldn't taste the Old Bay) or the chips that went with the lobster roll. For raw oysters, this is a solid, if pricey, place to go“

“Very cute place, has a good vibe, refreshingly unpretentious for downtown. Good food, not a huge menu but if you’re just going for oysters there’s a pretty good variety of options. You won’t get very private seating but it is comfortable enough for dinner with friends.“

“Absolutely wonderful. Reminds me a bit of Petite 4 with the French focus. When I went at 430 there was already a line and they appear to be very popular already. Obviously everyone is far happier with this compared to the previously tenant Donut Daze (lol) They had 7 types of oysters when I went and they were all quite varied in taste but all delicious. All of the main dishes were fantastic and the sourdough was incredible as it is sourced from a local bakery. There isn’t liquor but plenty of wine options. A very fun place for a nice night out.“
