3 /5 Nav Singh: We dined here last night for dinner and I must say I’m a bit conflicted with leaving this review. The staff and ambiance is welcoming but could be a bit friendlier. We were immediately seated after arriving for a 9pm reservation. The restaurant also closes a bit early for a Saturday night. We were also immediately greeted by our waiter who was professional and courteous . We ordered a coupon of cocktails and once they were server, we then proceeded to order a couple of appetizers. The smoked old fashion while I liked the taste, it was nothing to rave about. The Tito’s mule was also in crushed ice and again, nothing special. Our disappointment was with the oysters - 6 west coast and two of them tasted bad. Also, I had broken oyster shell in on of them. The calamari, is poorly done and the batter falls off while picking them up. Our mains were lacking flavor and there was a broken clam in the clam dish. Again, I ended up eating clam shell. I informed the waiter in a nice manner and he was understanding and I also noted it was not his fault. Seems that the kitchen staff is in a rush to exit once the clock approaches 9:30. We also felt rushed while dining and the restaurant cleared out around 10:30pm with one set of guests remaining. At first, I wanted this to be a place I could visit regularly for oysters since it’s so close to home but they also only had two types of oysters. I hope things turn around for them but for now, I would need to see improvements on the dishes.
The restaurant made good on the oysters and clam linguine and removed it from our bill so hence why I was conflicted with the review.
