One of the year’s most exciting openings comes from a little restaurant group you may have heard of.

Pony up to the 10-seat oyster bar to suck down the day’s menu of beauties on-the-half-shell, which will always include one Gulf variety from the nearby Bolivar Peninsula; and tack on fun stuff like broiled oysters dripping with garlic soubise, Gulf stone crab claws and house white sturgeon caviar.
