I spent my anniversary dinner at Amarone, and had a wonderful experience. It was mid-week July, not crowded, and we asked for a window seat. The service was extremely good, and the ambiance is romantic. We enjoyed our pastas, cannoli, and Italian wine. It is a little spendy, but we will come back. The bar is impressive, too, so I want to experience happy hour.

I count on Nells for an always reliable experience. Excellent food and service. It was a warm day and we sat outside the outside tables have a nice view of Green Lake. They are a bit noisier due to the Tavern next door. Compared to inside, which is always quiet. I relish Nell’s for a place where you can really talk with your companion

About the restaurant

Growers of clams, mussels, and oysters, we highlight the splendors of the sea, with the seasonal crops of the islands, to bring you a taste of our island community.

There is no better place to enjoy some oysters and see where they grow. All seating is outdoors, so come prepared for the weather! Reservations are highly recommended, and available for 1-20 people May - October.
All reservations are for 1.5 hours based on your reservation start time.

All seating at the Net Shed is first come first serve, so if reservations aren't available you can always come out to the Net Shed to slurp down some oysters!
