    This was our 4th time at this restaurant. Everything had been perfect until tonight.. The restaurant was nearly empty and it took forever to get our Bar drink. Then we received no food at all for 25 minutes.. Once we started complaining things started to appear.. the meal was ruined and we will not return. Prior visits were so great.. they dropped the ball tonight.

    The mussels and all of the sauces were great. Try the dessert mussels - they looked odd but were delicious. Complimentary Prosecco with lunch that was a nice touch. We were there for Saturday lunch and the music was way too loud for noon. It was hard to hear one another. It started at a reasonable level and then got amped up - no thanks. The restaurant itself is a beautiful space. Very elegant.

    Expected so much more. Food for restaurant week was average. Wait for a good and drink was very loooong. The only good thing was limoncello spritz, oysters and crème brûlée

    Something went seriously sideways with reservations and took forever to get a table even though we had a reservation. Big problems with the food - they are doing unique and different things which is great. But these were probably the sandiest mussels I’ve ever had - downright gritty. The raw fish plates were interesting but just didnt work - there’s a reason spicy tuna is hidden inside of a roll and not piped on top of a rice cracker.

    There is not even a single thing on the menu that is not tasty! I’m personally not a fan of mussels, but with their variety and preparation - I can’t stop eating them.

    Food was excellent, we had 6 dishes off the menu all were amazing! I understand they were busy but service was horrible. Waited an hour and a half for our drinks. Asked for someone to get the waitress a few times for different things. It was a Wednesday too. Beautiful atmosphere and fun vibe. Would go back for the food but when paying that much you expect good service too!

    Our first time to Mollusca, but it will not be our last time. We loved the place and have already been touting it to others. The hostess was very accommodating to help us find and seat us at a perfect table. The serveers were all very helpful and the wine steward was very attentive. The best part was the food itself, which was great.

    Food was superb, we both had fish, nothing short of excellent! So was my wife’s Cosmopolitan, and the Viognier. Desert of crème brûlée was the best we’ve ever had and my wife is a crème brûlée connoisseur. I recommend a table not near the bar as the noise level is simply too high there to be enjoyable. Also, if the management turned down the volume in the bar area by about 1/3 the overall noise level will drop as people won’t talk loudly in order to be heard by others in their party. We would definitely return.
