Chef-owner Jamie Leeds serves some of the area's finest oysters on the half shell, fried oysters, shrimp and oyster po-boys and crab cake dinner's at Hank's Oyster Bar, a local favorite since 2005.
"As the restaurant name suggests, the food here focuses on the deep blue sea, with only a few steps onto land. And of those land-locked dishes, we're happy to note, Leeds's famed short ribs are on the menu. ... The kitchen, under her direction, handles seafood well, however, and that makes ordering such dishes as the shrimp and scallop appetizer - deep-fried and crispy - with a chipotle dipping sauce pleasurable."
