    Everything about our experience at Oyster Loft was exceptional. Michael helped us, keeping the experience light and very knowledgeable. The cocktails were strong and well-made. The oysters were tiny, briny shots of bliss. We had the duck and salmon, both cooked as though the chef had inspected them. Minor mishap because my date was nervous and ordered my cocktail wrong, Michael breezed right past the mistake and made it right on the bill.

    We grabbed lunch while vacationing with a 1 p.m. reservation on a Tuesday. The view was spectacular, and the booth seating was comfortable. I could tell the servers were struggling, but not for a lack of trying. When our waitress got to us, we asked for water and ordered our appetizer. The appetizer came before we had plates or water brought to the table, so things were just awkward. My salmon was meh, and the carne asada tacos were good, but my husband said there were just too many pinto beans on the tacos. Maybe go for the incredible views and grab a drink while they are slow.
