The raw bar is great and I especially like the condiments for the oysters, not just the usual gloppy ketchup and horseradish. My husband and I split a few appetizers (the daily specials are usually great) and some oysters and find it's plenty of food and the check is not bad at all. The wine list is exceptional for a place like this; the service is not.

Our server, Mike, was very knowledgeable about everything on the menu items and he was very helpful with recommendations. He was prompt, friendly, and served with a smile.

Yay! The ladies room re-do is much appreciated! I am looking forward to seeing the new bar. More small bites on the menu would be great, and Joe is right to add some seafood pasta or risotto dishes. That would be excellent!

Don’t start serving pasta; you might double your business. Summer Shack’s seafood is amazing. I love their menu choices. I cannot wait to come back.
