Seafood/Fish French Tartare

Review Summary

Overall, Huis Clos is described as cozy and well kept with a warm neighborhood vibe, strong cocktails and attentive staff, where oysters and other seafood dishes are frequently praised and the atmosphere can be festive with music or karaoke; the kitchen is seen as thoughtful and the menu offers options for many tastes, though some dishes feel small or lack flavor and service can slow when crowds are large.
