Neptune Oyster
One of my all time favorite seafood restaurants. They serve a limited menu, with a focus on oysters; however, you can't go wrong with a single item on it. Walk-ins only, and there's always a line. Trust me, it's worth the wait.
Osteria LuCa
Osteria LuCa is a superbly average Italian restaurant, serving food that you could expect to find in a chain-Italian restaurant. There is great ambiance, and the cocktails are strong; however, the food could use some improvement.
