Seeing this on Openrice's top 10 recently, boyfriend and I came here for dinner to give it a try for it was date night. I was in the mood for oysters and it seemed like a good place to eat.The restaurant was pretty busy and full on a weekday. When we left, there was a small line waiting to for a table. That must be a good sign. Seating was a bit cramped but it's not a very big restaurant. Menu is in English and Chinese. They serve various pasta and meat meat dishes along with various seafood ite
The restaurant was pretty busy and full on a weekday. When we left, there was a small line waiting to for a table. That must be a good sign. Seating was a bit cramped but it's not a very big restaurant. Menu is in English and Chinese. They serve various pasta and meat meat dishes along with various seafood items. I noted that they had a promo of a seafood platter for $99 that is available only on Monday and Tuesdays. A pretty good deal and if we had known beforehand, we would have come on a Monday or Tuesday instead.
We were given a bread basket while we were waiting for our meal. The bread was foccacia and yeah ... I love a good foccacia. This smelled wonderful.
Bruschetta Toscana ($65). We started off with bruschetta. The tomatoes were refreshing and lightly doused with olive oil and fresh basil. All was topped on a toasted baguette.
Willapa Bay ($38 each), Rollex ($42 each) and Spanish Rock Oysters ($49 each). As we weren't really sure what oysters to choose, the staff was very informative and gave us recommendations. We went with it as prices weren't ridiculously expensive. The oysters on the left are Willapa Bay and had a strong taste of sea salt. The huge one in the back are Spanish Rock. These were big and meaty. But my favorite was the small ones in the front, Rollex. They were creamy and rich in taste.

Linguine Vongole ($128). The pasta was cooked a perfect al dente. It was seasoned well and topped with juicy clams. I loved how it wasn't drenched in sauce and I hate soggy pasta.

Banoffee Pie ($55). I don't know what is with the banoffee pie but I've noticed it's been appearing in more and more restaurants recently. I guess a change of pace from the very tired and over done tiramisu? Anyways, we tried this as boyfriend said he never had one. I'm not a big fan of banoffee pie but this was ok. I think boyfriend loved it more as it contained everything he loves on one slice. The bananas were ripe and sweet. The cream on top was rich and subtley flavored with vanilla. It wasn't too sweet and tasted like bananas and cream.
Place is very busy but the staff was helpful despite being swamped with customers. It can be a bit noisy as people do talk loudly. Food was good. A great place for oysters anyways and I would return with a girlfriend one evening when we have one of those "OMG! OYSTERS NOW!" moment.
