                    We loved how you could mix and match with different oysters. They were very good. You could buy 1 or as many as you want.

                    Waiter kept leaving table before performing tasks, multiple trips in taking drink order, delivering water and silverware. Food service was slow, food was a little overcooked. Good flavor, lukewarm.

                    Very disappointed. 2nd time recently been there and both times food was cooked incincorrectly. First of 2 had porterhouse for 2. Ordered it medium and it came out raw. Last night asked for porporterhouse and they ran out. It was 6 p.m.!!! Also we ordered 2 filet mignon s . My wife ordered medium rare and it came out extremely well done I ordered medium and it came out extremely well done. French fries were cold. I I've been there many times but lately after spending over $600, we took friends, I think I'll stay away for a while

                    Good food as always. My wife was served the wrong order. By the time the correct order arrived the rest of us were almost finished with our meals. It can happen anywhere but disappointing when it happens to you.
