The red house

We are happy we took an accidental turn into Winthrop Street and saw their sign for oyster happy hour outside! 50 Cent each! We went inside and received a warm welcome from the waiter who immediately assigned us a table for two.
We ordered 30 oysters and the grilled octopus. The oysters were very decent size for that price! We’ve been to other Happy Hour places before, where you would only receive very small ones for $.50. The grilled octopus was really high-quality and tasted delicious. Great and friendly service overall. Would always go there again and also recommend.

Great value and fresh oysters, 2 for $1 before 5pm and a dollar each after 5. They also have good seafood items. I tried the lobster risotto and the mussels in white wine. Both were good. Good service too and cosy ambience too.

Grilled octopus was a bit less well presented compared to yesterday but still a generous portion and delicious. Vegetarian Linguine is not keeping warm for too long, so don't linger. Flavorful, light and highly recommended. Even in the winter, the patio is covered so it was nice to sit out there. The plus is that they also have patio blankets for you to use! Although unsure how often they clean them, but still a great touch!

I ordered the kale chips hummus and seasonal sauteed chard, was absolutely sublime. I enjoyed the meal very much.

The service was fast, I was seated immediately, outdoor patio was very comfortable. Was quite strange that I had to ask for the seasonal menu but altogether a great experience.

Next time recommend introducing customers to the seasonal menu instead of waiting for us to ask for the menu.

Awesome food; cocktail, beer and wine selections were way better than you normally experience; and the wait staff was cheerful, helpful and attentive. A great dining experience. Definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves food and a great time.
