8 kinds of oysters. The Pilsner is very good, as is the dry rose. The Lobster melt is fantasic. Wondering if I should try the deconstructed cheesecake. And the guy behind the bar is absolutely hilarious. Nice people. Great food. Beautiful place.
I can’t say enough positive things about this place. I absolutely love it. Great service, atmosphere and food. For authentic New England seafood flavors then please give this spot a try - you won’t be disappointed ☀️☀️☀️
12/10! Tom is a great fellow he’s passionate about his oysters and they’re damn good!! Best I’ve ever had the atmosphere here is great whether you’re an older couple of two or a young group. If you sit outside the sun hits perfectly while doing the happy food dance. We’re visiting from Texas and this place was magnificent will definitely come back and hopefully next time he has more of his HOMEMADE hot sauce!!
Tom is lovely and so is the food! i had one of my favorite meals in copenhagen here. delicious and fresh and such a nice personable touch to be served by the owner himself. will definitely be back
Tom's is an incredible spot! We stopped for lunch and got to chat with him. Super cool guy and he makes great food. We especially love the sustainable practices he uses in his business model to cut down on waste and provide fresh, clean food. Great variety and quality of oysters, the beer has really good (I had th Pilsner), and the chowder was legit too. The coolest part is that you eat on a barge on the canal. Cozy vibes.
