"Save for the shrimp po'boy, it's hard to see why La Docena refers to itself as a New Orleans -inspired oyster bar. No matter—the seafood is fresh and there's enough cured ham to please everyone. The raw clams, aguachiles, octopus tostadas, and house-made aioli are especially nice, and the French fries here are some of the best in town. There's only one dessert on the menu: a molten chocolate cake with banana and ice cream. It's great on a late Sunday afternoon when you want to sit outside and for bigger groups on their way for a night out." - Naomi Tomky, Scarlett Lindeman
