"Great patio, wonderful interior, and even better menu. If it’s sunny outside, settle into the back patio with a carafe of rose. Save Chef Ari’s fried chicken sandwich for when the sun goes down and order a round of local or out of state oysters as an after dinner snack." - Fuzzco
"A popular casual spot known for its spicy fried chicken and approachable seafood offerings, delivering a lively, convivial atmosphere perfect for a relaxed yet tasty date." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Combine fancy champagne, cheap beer, fried chicken, and a casual raw bar — all housed in a retrofitted auto body shop — and you get Leon’s Oyster Shop. The menu has plenty of salads, like the iceberg stack covered in buttermilk dressing or the popular Siam salad, for the light lunch crowds and soft serve for the kids. Don’t skip the chargrilled oysters to start." - Erin Perkins
