We also ordered the Outlaw special, which included six oysters selected by the manager. It came with three complimentary toppings to pair with the oysters: a classic shrimp cocktail, a bright green sauce, and a vinegar-onion mignonette. Each one complemented the oysters in a different way, and they were all incredibly fresh and flavorful. We also enjoyed a few appetizers, and everything was prepared perfectly. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made the experience even better. If you're in the Bay View neighborhood and enjoy fresh seafood, Outlaw Oyster Law is absolutely worth a visit. Great food, excellent service, and a fun atmosphere.

My favorite will always be the fried potato ball covered in cheesy goodness with sour cream and chives. I opted for the new Sammartino which is a brilliant combination of ingredients. Who could refuse an Italian sausage on a toasted bun with crispy bits of pepperoni, pesto, marinara and cheese. If you don't like spice do not get this sandwich because the Italian is a, medium hot which was a little too spicy for me. Also I think the sausage could have used a little more fat for mouth feel but that's a personal preference. Note that all the Italian sausage is made spicy because my friend had one with sauerkraut and it was spicy. I can't wait for it to be warm out to grab a beer and a craft hot dog on the outside patio.

I guarantee that you will never have an experience like this that matches the intimate sensation of sitting with family and taking a long time to enjoy the meal.

It can get really loud in here so you may have to shout a bit at your dining party. I would definitely recommend having a reservation. I don't think there was an empty seat in the whole place the entire hour and a half that we were there. Service: Really helpful and kept our waters filled and did pretty decent with the tempo of the meal. The entrees came out before we were finished with the appetizers and with how small the tables are it was an insanely tight fit and basically a juggling act, but that's minor. Drinks: We got the sake flight and I highly recommend this, it was delicious and a good variety of different flavor profiles, yum! Food: We ordered the xiao long bao and shu mei for appetizers. I preferred the shu mei and my partner preferred the xiao long bao. Which was nice that we each had an opposite preference. We also ordered the tonkatsu ramen and the mapo tofu. The tonkatsu ramen was a bit bland and it was interesting with the corn in it...however the chasu pork that topped it was delicious and plenty! The mapo tofu honestly might be the best I've had. I would order that every week if I lived in the area. The spice level was perfect on it with ample amounts of pork (I LOVE spicy food and this was exactly what I was looking for, my partner took one bite and started to sweat so be careful lol). Since I can't find this level of mapo tofu where I live I'm going to add this of things to learn how to cook at home, yay!

I definitely recommend eating them with the vinegar and s side of hot pepper oil. I had the Szechuan beef noodle soup and my daughter ordered the Miso ramen. Both the soups pretty much looked the same. It seem like they use the same broth for both soups. My soup is very planned I had to add the vinegar for some flavor. The food was okay.

They have outdoor seating, bar seating, and indoor table seating as well. We opted for a table indoors. They had a birthday party happening in the dining room which made for a fun atmosphere. They brought out multiple flaming presentations (a margarita tree with sparkler on top as well as some sort of plaster animal with a flame and shots). Each time they brought out one, they had loud music that they played with the presentation. It didn't bother us but if you want a quiet dinner, this might not be your place. For my dinner, I got the three tacos (carnitas). They were flavorful and delicious. I didn't opt to get the rice and beans with it but honestly, they were plenty filling without it.

Fucking love this place…read more If there is a highly rated small plates place in a location we are visiting, you can count on us to find it. We walked literally thirty minutes to this place from our hotel. It was a lovely walk in early August. We had a 5:45pm reservation on a Thursday (we are old now) and we were seated immediately. Service was excellent. Ok so they have a fantastic cocktail menu. I appreciate any cocktail menu that is more complex than vodka and cranberry juice but this takes it to another level of creativity. I also like how they name them with numbers. It's so much easier to say "I'll have a 42" rather than "I will have a duperbeamerscicle". I started with an "88" with pisco, rose-poached strawberry, amontillado sherry, verjus, rose port, and pink peppercorn. Served in a highball glass and garnished with berries. Very refreshing. GF started with the "91" mezcal, passion fruit, poblano, pineapple, amaro, lime. Gorgeous and chic. Very strong, smoky flavor. When in Rome, so the cheese plate did not feel like an option. Four fantastic cheeses were served with very tasty candied nuts, some jam business, grapes, and some of the best bread I have had on a cheese plate. Thick, soft, and fluffy. Paired absolutely perfectly with cheese. Only complaint is that I wish there was more of it. I haven't had deviled eggs in a minute so I went wild and also had the chili crisp deviled eggs which were SPECTACULAR. I also got the Egyptian fried cauliflower which is served on a smear of harissa and lemon tahini. Very flavorful. Star of the show tbh was the tagliatelle with squash, tomato, these fried cheese crisps. The noodles were al dente and SO GOOD in such a wonderful sauce. GF also got the steak, she says "very good seasoning". I helped her out with the kimchi pancake. Wonderful. Such a great sauce. For our second round of dranks we both went with the "77" makrut lime vodka, tamarind, bird's eye chili, cilantro, lime, lemongrass. Very tamarind forward. Very unique. I can see why it's our server's favorite drink on the menu. The desserts looked really good (something with sticky rice I think it was a cocktail and a bread budding that looked fantastic) but we just weren't feeling it.
