“We went for my wife’s birthday and had an amazing time. Our host (John) was very knowledgeable, accommodating, and very friendly! The environment was small, intimate, and very informal (in the best possible way!). The oysters were amazing, and the class was the best part about our trip to Portland. I would highly recommend to anyone!”
“If you love oyster and want to learn how to shuck them from a master then This is the place . Sean was amazing and very knowledgeable . In no time my husband was a master at Shucking Oysters. I had an amazing lobster roll and a fantastic cocktail. The staff was friendly and welcoming. It is defiantly on our tour of Maine activity list for all our visiting friends. I love to be punny so here goes" ah shucks it was so much fun" lol! Corny I know.”
“You guys are so awesome to email! The oysters were the biggest hit. My parents both shucked oysters for the first time and my dad got a blow torch from the garage and did some trick with parmesan cheese that he saw on the intranet! They are too funny. My dad was talking all about the oysters at his office and everyone wants the info about how to order them. You guys really made my Mom's Mother's Day so great.”
