Not our cup of tea. It is an incredibly small space with tables jam packed everywhere. We love intimate dinners but this was too close for comfort. We came here because of Savor Fort Wayne. We thought we would try somewhere new. The bread and the dessert were amazing but everything in-between was sadly lackluster.

It's been about 18 years since I've been here, so decided to try it for a Savor deal. To be upfront, I'm not an oyster fan, so I can not rate them, but everyone swears by them.
The decor is cozy but very dated, worn down and cramped. The front dining has a few tables and a decent bar rail. Full bar with about 8 draft beers. There is a back dining room, but you'll have to go through the kitchen to get to it, and back for the restrooms.
Appetizer was buffalo shrimp with blue cheese. The sauce was really good and flavored with just hints of buffalo and good spice level. Shrimp was just OK and a little chewy.
Main I had the Seafood au Gratin and it was amazing. GF got the Parrot fish, and I thought it was meh. The ceasar said was avg but cold and fresh. You can tell they focus on good ingredients and tru chef techniques. Meal with deal, 2 beers was about $120, non deal would have been another $30 or so.
Service was stellar and very prompt.
Bathrooms are definitely not ada but meet basic needs.
Overall, if you want oysters by all means, if you want good or better seafood and / or steak, bang for buck, there are better places in town to have a fine dining experience.

Omg... first time, and they are amazing. The oysters were so delicious and fresh, and calamari was yummy and the clam chowder, butternut squash. Omg... I will come again. And the customer service is divine and super 👌 nice. The kitchen team super amazing 👏 so my hat down to them. So as a new customer I invite you to do reservations with them and enjoy your adventures coming here and have a taste from the sea. And trust me, I come from an island and they remind me of home (Puerto Rico).

Highly recommend for a date night! We've had excellent experiences the 3 times that we've dined here in the past year. Food is amazing and I love the half & half entree option so you can try multiple things in one visit. Best Clam Chowder ever!

Small disclaimer, all seating is VERY TIGHT since this is an old building so if you want a place more intimate and private, this is not the place for you since you'll be bumping elbows with your neighbor. Servers have always been super attentive but it's a slower dining experience so make sure you have adequate time to enjoy!

This quaint and cozy Fort Wayne staple never disappoints! The seafood is always cooked perfectly and the service is consistent. My favorite dish is the Cioppino. Their clam chowder is some of the best here in town! The interior is a bit of a speakeasy feel. The inside is smaller so I would recommend making a reservation if you’re coming for dinner, mainly for the weekends or a group larger than 4.
