Oysters are dependent on freshness — and you'll be hard-pressed to find fresher oysters than the ones being offered up at The Walrus and the Carpenter. Located in the newly restored Kolstrand building, this unpretentious spot offers a variety of fresh oysters from its raw bar, and also serves up plenty of other locally-sourced seafood — including house-smoked fish — with an ever so slight French flare. The Lewis Carroll reference is just icing on the cake.
