    Our first waitress (brown straight hair) didn't care if we lived or died--our "service" didn't include a single smile or a standard introduction. She seemed bothered to have us from the moment we were sat, to be transparent. She was also very condescending to both myself and my friend when ordering. She was noticeably quite rude and it impacted our experience. It was very disappointing. We both have been several times to Prickett Richard and it's become a favourite stop until last night. Shockingly, we had better service and ambiance at Earls earlier in the evening. - Seemed to be an all female bar team--neither of them payed us much attention when we moved to the bar to get away from the waitress we originally had - A male team member provided two complimentary shots when we asked to move which was appreciated. He was our nicest interaction with staff last night - Oysters were unbelievably salty, which was very out of the ordinary - Music choice was exceptionally louder and more rap heavy than what seemed to be our normal experience here - Our usual drinks did not taste the same, lady lazarus was very, very spicy and my friends drink also seemed to have ratios a bit off because it was unusually bitter. Nobody checked with us about them. We paid our $88 tab and left as soon as we could, with our drinks obviously full. Again, nobody checked about our experience when we finally paid.

    Food and drinks were good. Music was definitely not what we expected on a Friday night, it was a lot of rap. It was extremely loud as well

    The cocktail list was long & the selection of drinks were unique! Oysters were delicious & came out quick as well. Super fun place, great late night vibe. Only reason I did not leave a 5 star review & maybe its a one off, or she was having a bad day, but the server did not seem the slightest bit interested in our table, & did not look like she enjoyed her job. The interactions were short, & when I wanted a drink that they were out of, she did not recommend anything, just kind of stared at me waiting for me to pick a new drink. It was my 30th b-day celebration, she could not care less about us as guests.

    I really like the bartender he was excellent. I think the atmosphere is amazing for a date or something, but I found I was yelling all night and although I like the dark atmosphere, it was a bit too dark. I couldn't even read the menu.

    Super disappointing that the beet pickled eggs aren’t on the menu anymore. They were the best! We came in 1-2 times a week just for the eggs.

    Stopped in for a drink after dinner. Space is very cool and makes for a great atmosphere. It was really loud so not great for conversation but the music was good and since we were just there for 1 drink it was fine. Service was average, our server was quite soft spoken so had a hard time hearing her. She didn’t really introduce us to the cocktail menu or mention whether or not the bartenders would do other cocktails based on spirit/taste etc. Drinks were good and the space has a great vibe. Would go back for sure, but wasn’t blown away.
