"Owned and inspired by locals deeply embedded in the community. Enough said! Otherwise, vinyl records for the music: amazing, unique and thoughtful. Long list of aperitifs and digestifs: the cocktails and vibes are the main draw."

"Great place for drinks and delicious small plates. Great atmosphere. Chicken Piri Piri was very tasty. They even play real lp records for music behind the bar!"

"Absolutely delicious! We were lucky to find this brand new restaurant on the first day they were open. The polenta was awesome, as were the clams. My husband had some oysters, and we shared the wedge salad. Linguica makes such a nice change from the standard bacon. Well done, Chef! I'm sure we would have loved the dessert if you had it on offer, but after all, it was the first night, so we understand. Best to you in the future. We're sure you'll be a hit. We'd be back, but we live in Oregon."

"Co-owned by the former owner of Terra Luna and a very wonderful local couple who fish oysters by trade. Farm to table oysters with a Portuguese flair! The piri piri sauce was SO GOOD. Vibe was chill, drinks were great, and food was elevated. A small business of hard working good people we were delighted to support!"

"Fantastic place. Bar staff are attentive with a great vinyl collection. Food is amazing, and one of only 2 places on the Cape where you can get Lucky Lips Oysters. Stopped in to see what replaced Ciraldi's. Had some oysters, a beautiful bluefish dish, and a lobster mollette. Went back 2 days later for more. Whole hearted recommendation."
