   My husband wanted oysters and a beer for Father’s Day! So, we chose to visit (this was our 2nd time). The oysters were fantastic!!! Also, slipped in during “happy hour”…nice!!!

   Food was pretty good, but nothing out of the ordinary. An alt hip vibe and the staff were nice but forgot to serve us our starters which ironically were a dozen Oysters and the whole reason we visited. The server knocked off a drink each from a group of two from the bill as compensation but is a pretty big miss. Wouldn't rush back.

   The selection of oysters is amazing AND they have a happy hour with $1 oysters from 3-6 PM every day! The staff is friendly and efficient. I will go back. Soon.

   Lovely restaurant…however we were not seated at the style table(low table in the very back by the restroom) as our reservation was made for (hightop)…so disappointing in terms of meeting venue expectations.

    The boutique oysters were delicious and the mignonette was one of the best I’ve tasted. The service left a lot to be desired. The restaurant wasn’t busy but our server kept disappearing for large chunks of time.

    Was busy and got seated right away. Was told to order quickly as there were two large parties that were just seated, so our orders wouldn’t be held up. Food was pretty good. Ordered the grilled fish tacos but fish was fried. Ate it and didn’t bother to complain about it. Guys ordered fish and chips, which they enjoyed. Oysters small but fresh and flavorful. Service was prompt and our waiter was great.

    You can have bad service and bad food, but you can't have both. Oysters were ok at best. Wife had the Pesto and Balsamic - Oysters were really small and I understand they shrink when cooked, but smaller than a dime. Daughter ordered Ribeye - had no flavor, but weird after taste. Came out almost rare (close to Med Rare, but very rare. Ordered Medium). I ordered the boutique Oysters. Lots of sand/rocks in several of the oysters. Service - drinks went unfilled, no check backs and had to find other servers to bring Ketchup, extra salad dressing, extra cocktail, etc. I was hopeful with the wide range of Oysters on the menu that this would have been a better experience, but I cannot see myself going back.

    On website & menus they advertise Gulf Oysters - but they come from VA. Bad! The Oysters Rockefeller were not fully shucked before baking in the oven. Very difficult to free the oyster from the shell. I do not think the place is very clean! The menus were stained and the menu covers appeared to be very dirty. This restaurant has been taken off our list and for our guests also.

    We booked for date night to west at the high top and were told that we requested a patio which we didn’t as we wanted to eat inside at a high top which was selected as my girlfriend is a bit taller. The girl up front had an attitude and shrugged her shoulders, not caring. She didn’t seem like she was happy even being there which is off putting. We were seated at a low table near the bathrooms. We ordered a quite a few dishes - the Rockefeller was a bit undercooked because of all the toppings, causing the oyster to be kind slimy; the fried oysters were good but a little over cooked and burnt; the calamari fries had a couple of good bites but some had an odd taste and texture; the steak was good because can’t really mess up a ribeye and great mash potatoes; we ordered the shrimp Alfredo that was lacking in shrimp (4 small ones). One thing I will say were the drinks were good. We both had the rasberry lemon cider which we liked. Overall okay for date night but the experience was drastically different than when I visited my first time. Two times is enough for me unfortunately.

    Only issue is that we were eating outside under the awning and it rained so hard the awning could not withstand the weight of the water and became dangerous. I would suggest they contact their awning company as the other restaurants with awnings did not seem to have the same issue.

    Service was great. Food was really good. The only issue was if you are in on a time deadline get to a show or event, it does take a bit to get your food and was around an hour from ordering to actually eating. Other than that, very cool place and some of the best oysters I’ve had.

    Our waitress was amazing! She answered all our questions and always made sure our drinks were full and we had what we needed. The food was well worth the price and the portions were perfect. We got a bunch of oysters and they had plenty of options from both coasts as well as the gulf. We left happy and with full bellies!

    I went before a concert around the corner and to be fair on St. Paddy's Day. I had reserved a high top and was seated at a regular table. When asked to move I was told all the high tops are on hold for people that might want to seat there in bigger tables though there was a couple at one. Finally seated at one away from the TV's where we had wanted to see the basketball games. The food took forever as did the drinks. I asked for buffalo shrimp on a house salad but was give a spanish salad that had tomatoes and cucumbers and 4 small shrimp with no buffalo sauce. It was not worse the money nor what I had expected. The burger though I'm told was good the fries were acceptable. The waiter started out grumpy but warmed up except he was overworked with too many tables. Was there for over an hour for just these few items and was late for the show. It will be a long time before we go back again and this was our go to place before any show at Janus.

    In spite of it being St. Patricks day and busy; our server was very efficient. We had raw oysters-which were delicious and well shucked. The house salads were large, very fresh and tasty. I had the fried oysters and they were among the best I've eaten. My husband had the buffalo shrimp which he said wasn't great. All in all, good service and food. I'd definitely go back.

    Made a reservation specifically for that evening since according to their advertisements and website , they have $1 oysters every Wednesday . However they did not have the special that evening No explanation was given so we paid full price.

    Our server was great! The hostess was a bit rude. We stood in front of her a couple of minutes before she acknowledged us. She was doing something like getting napkins or something together, but she didn't even look up to say, "I will be with you in a second." No smile the entire time. We sat outside and watched her. Being in PR myself, she would not be the first impression I'd want representing my restaurant.

    Appetizer came out after our dinner and was cold. Grouper Risotto was either extremely over cooked or it was not grouper. I’m thinking it was Mahi Mahi. Service was not great at all. Oysters were good. Wouldn’t go back.

    We specifically went for $1 oyster night. Unfortunately, our server told us it would be at least an hour wait to receive those oysters because they were so busy. We all chose to order either fried or baked oysters since those were prepared in the kitchen and not the same wait. They were just "ok", nothing special. Lesson learned, next time we will wait :)
