Starfish Review

Patrick McMurray—a walking encyclopedia of shellfish lore and winner of the 48th World Oyster Opening Championship in Galway, Ireland (won by shucking 30 oysters in under four minutes)—brings you the most unusual tastes from the sea in the most diverse Oyster Bar in North America. Oysters from Ireland, England, Scotland, as well as North America are all available in this casual bistro with simple wooden tables and chairs, a maritime themed bar, and walls covered with small pictures. Ingredients used are local and sustainable. Choose a dancing pink scallop or an Emerald Cove, Belon, or Malpeque oyster. From the kitchen, the oven-roasted organic black cod, boiled East Coast lobsters, crisp salads, and homemade desserts will make you fall for Starfish hook, line, and sinker.

    Very nice evening with friends

    Wonderful selection of oysters from someone who knows oysters. The 100 for 100 is a great deal, available sun thru wed. Hot dishes were also nice. Grilled sardines were tasty and the frites were bistro worthy.
