Fodor's Review:

The regulars belly up to the big wooden bar and slurp down oysters by the dozen. Owner Ilene Polansky imports them from all over the world -- the oysters that is, not the regulars -- so you can compare the subtle differences between, say, a delicate little bivalve from Prince Edward Island's Malpeque Bay and a big meaty one from Australia's Gold Coast. A free lesson in shucking techniques comes with the order. If oysters aren't your thing, don't despair: Polansky also serves poached salmon with mango butter, a bountiful seafood pot-au-feu (a slow-cooked stew), and the inevitable moules et frites (mussels and french fries).
