Kevin:   I am sucker for oysters!  This place is right on Marietta square, and they do a happy hour where oysters are $1.50.  First, they do an outstanding job of being very nice without being stuffy.  We sat at the oyster bar and service was very prompt and friendly.  They have about 12-15 different oysters plus crab, lobster, and clams.  From 4-6 pm they put about 6 different varieties half off.  If you like oysters, this is the place.  They have oysters from the gulf, west coast, northeast and Canadian oysters.  Great options.  I also had a salad and clam chowder.  But, let's be honest, Oysters are the show here!  Go Here.    

Melissa: We disagree on the service here - it doesn't feel welcoming to me, and I felt like the service was a little slow.  In all fairness though, it was really busy, and we sat at the end of the bar by the shuckers, so we were out of the way.  I am a lot pickier than Kevin when it comes to oysters.  I refuse to eat Gulf oysters because they are too big and bland, and the northwest are too briny for me.  I am a complete sucker for PEI and they carry a great variety.  The only complaint I have about the oysters is they mix the horseradish with the ketchup, and I always forget to ask for just horseradish.  That's on me though.
