Not a huge place but then again it doesn't need to be. You don't need to hang out for forever and eat oysters you can kind of slurp them down and bolt. Which it seems like is the right thing to do either way. People are waiting and it's hard to blame them - the food is outstanding.

So this was a perfect little appetizer for dinner. Since dinner is usually served at 9pm this was perfect to curve my appetite. They have oysters from france, portugal, and iranaia. I have never had oysters from those waters so I needed to try it. And I am glad I did. The gentleman at the counter did speak english so I was able to tell him how I like my oysters. I told him I usually like them briney but didn't mind trying some sweet ones. He came out with my flight of oysters and labeled them so I knew which were which. He told me to try them from most sweet to briney. I ended up liking the sweet one better. My favortie was the regal irania! I ordered 2 more after I finished my flight.

First, I tried the classic pil-pil, a chunk of cod topped with a creamy sauce made of the cod skin along with garlic and oil. Then there was a pork "taco" made of breaded chunks of honey-glazed pork (it definitely reminded me of an Asian preparation), served along with seaweed salad in a "taco" shell made of nori on the inside and a crispy cornmeal coating on the outside--truly one of the most unique bites of food I've ever had! Finally, I had the octopus carpaccio topped with a dollop of mashed potato, all topped with a piece of crispy jamon. The creaminess of the mashed potato went perfectly with the tender octopus, and the umami, savory piece of jamon brought all the flavors together!
