The appetizer menu seems designed to share with friends, perhaps even to be light meals while gathered around the piano. The buttermilk fried oysters ($9 for eight to 10) were small enough to be really bite-sized and lightly jeweled with a honey habañero aioli. They were accompanied by an avocado corn salsa so fresh it must be made to order.

The lobster cheesecake ($12, pictured here), while a bit light on the lobster, was a wedge large and mild enough to share with a group.
