Hank's Oyster Bar is the wildly successful casual restaurant of owner/chef Jamie Leeds. Since opening in 2005, it’s received accolades from the likes of Bon Appetit, The Washington Post, Gourmet, and Southern Living. The award-winning chef describes her menu as urban New England beach food.

Diners come back again and again for popular items like lobster rolls, chowder bowls, crab cakes, and of course, oysters served up in imaginative and delicious ways. Diners will want to try grilled Hog Island-style oysters when they’re on the menu. Oysters are dipped in a lemon-Tabasco garlicky butter sauce, and sprinkled with cheese and breadcrumbs before being broiled to perfection.
