   Service was polite. Food did not all come out at same time. No refills on soda or tea. Charged 3% credit card fee to us.

   Another of several trips to W&O and each was good food, good service and a good time. Already have reservations at W&O over the next 3 months.

   While it wasn’t not busy, there was a long pause between being seated and the waiter addressing our table. Once she arrived service picked up. Unfortunately the sides and soup were quite bland. But the crabcakes were really good so it made up for it.

   At first I was worried since we’d been waiting for just over ten minutes but when I asked a manager, he got us started. It was a nice Mother’s Day brunch. Everything was great except I’d say the temperature for my dish was cold but tbh, I left it alone. Everything was great and they reacted quickly when I drew attention to the fact that we’d been waiting a while for a greeting / drink order. They comped our 2 cocktails as a good faith measure and we appreciated that. We tipped our server well beyond what would’ve corresponded on the original bills value - we certainly wanted to be fair. Great place and will check it out again! Loved the ambiance.

   Our server Tisha was spectacular - charming, efficient, simply delightful…and the meal as always was superb. What a fantastic gem of a neighborhood restaurant. Thank you Whiskey & Oyster. Diners: ask for one of Tisha’s tables!

   Arrived at 4:00 for $1.00/oyster day. Service was speedy, professional and very personable. Our server, Asia was great. As it got busier and busier there were more and more wait staff to keep up. All in all a GREAT experience. I've already booked res. for next month!!!!!

    I’ve always had good food and service at Whiskey and Oyster. I suggested that my friend (who had never eaten there) join me for dinner. Our pear salad was delicious and the drinks were fine. However, I ordered steamed clams (with spicy broth) and she ordered steamed mussels )with garlic broth). When the entrees came, both us us were given mussels. I sent mine back and was given steamed clams with cider/bacon broth (which wasn’t even an option for clams on the menu, a weird tasting combination). I went ahead and ate it although it was not what I wanted. On the other hand, my friend’s mussels were gritty/sandy and the broth was watery and had no flavor. She could not even eat it and the waitress talked to the chef and she was not charged for it. The service was excellent and we appreciated the chef’s action to comp her. I have ordered the clams dish and other entrees many times in the past there and they were fine, so perhaps it was just an off night. But wanted to pass this along.
