Oystercatcher

Amazing umami from start to finish. What a gem in Coupeville! They were completely booked, but we figured we’d stop by and see if there was availability for 4. They had one table left and promptly seated us. We had the octopus, which was the most flavorful and perfectly cooked – crunchy char on the outside and tender on the inside. We also had the prawn and mushroom risotto – every bite was exquisite. The gnocchi had a spicy sausage cream that was just garlicky enough. The beet salad was perfectly balanced with a unique tasty beet that resembled tuna sashimi in appearance but tasted like a hearty beet. If you’re watching your sodium intake, however, the tamari seasoned brussels sprouts may not be your jam. The beignets, gluten free chocolate cake and chai tea ice cream were melt in your mouth delicious. Service was impeccable – friendly, timely and extremely attentive even with a fully packed restaurant.

I was welcomed with a warm greeting and seated promptly at my reservation time. I had the tasting menu and my gluten free diet was accommodated as I stated it on the reservation. The staff was friendly which is a plus for a solo diner, but also gave me space to enjoy the meal. I’ll definitely be back!
