"When you’re looking for an intimate, yet casual setting for a romantic round of drinks and oysters, Mink offers a unique experience. Sit at the bar and marvel at the crew as they get to shucking, plating, and interacting with guests. Visitors can opt to order a la carte from the spot’s selection of fresh oysters from across the country or an array of tinned seafood snacks. Go all out and make reservations to try a five-course tasting menu (available with optional beverage pairing), which switches out every month. Recent tasting menu offerings have included as a lobster olive loaf, scallop ambrosia salad, and a swordfish casserole. For a fun splurge, be sure to check out the spot’s caviar offerings." - Serena Maria Daniels
