We came here for a Valentine’s Day dinner and we were seated by a hostess. We waited about 10 minutes for a server to come by. The hostess who initially sat us ended up being our server. She had spent the last 10 minutes sitting on a barstool talking to a patron.

When she took our order, we had to repeat it multiple times because she didn’t want to write it down the first time we gave our order. There was only one other table in the restaurant that arrived 20 minutes after us. I received my food, and the table that arrived much later than us received all of their food, but my boyfriend didn’t get any of his food. We found this strange because the table next to us ordered the same dishes that he did, yet we ordered at least 20 minutes prior to them arriving.

We wanted to be able to enjoy our meal together but were unable to since my boyfriend’s food arrived much later when I was already finished eating. When we asked the hostess/server why the table next to us got their food before us, she blamed it on the kitchen. Throughout this process, she was impossible to flag down, hardly filled up our water, and overall had a dismissive and cold demeanor.

At the end of our meal, we asked to speak to a manager. She claimed there was no one on duty. She never once apologized or took accountability for what happened. By the time my boyfriend finished his meal, the table next to us had left long ago. Our dining experience was the opposite of what we had hoped for- it wasn’t romantic to just watch the other person eat. We will never come back here. And we also left parched since our waters were so infrequently filled. Not a good dining experience at all.

The food here is inexpensive but quite average. I don't understand why it has such high ratings.

Slowest service I've experienced in a while. Took me several minutes to even get a drink order. That's how it was the entire night - had to flag her down or wait for her to notice any time I needed something.

My and my family went later in the day for dinner. It was more slower at the time but such a great experience. Our server Amanda was so helpful and nice. She made my birthday dinner 10 times better. The food came quickly and was very delicious. It was lightweight and gut friendly. Would definitely recommend this location!

Went here last night with my friend and we were both blown away by the oyster selection, our mains, and the service. Amanda took great care of us and was awesome and helpful from top to bottom.

She even said she couldn’t remember putting together a sampler of the oyster specials. I recommend it. Get a dozen oysters and see which style you like best!

I also had a bowl of clam chowder and we ordered an appetizer of the seasoned fries.

The chowder was some of the best I’ve ever had, and I never thought I’d have good chowder this far West of New England.

The fries were great too. They were seasoned well and crispy.

The best perk is that they are open later. We were worried that we got back into town too late for good oysters, and we found some of the best.

Ordered their squid ink pasta. Had about three small half scallops, two shrimps, and no clams. Don’t skimp on the ingredients to save a buck, especially when you are charging high prices already. Lame.

Delicious raw bar, but even better a la carte menu of various types of foods. Great noodles, excellent carpaccio and many other choices
