We came for dinner on a Wednesday right before 7pm and there was seating for us despite the bar looking quite full. Server greeted us promptly and served our drinks along with complimentary chips right away.
You'll notice the rack of condiments filled with an assortment of hot sauces on the bar table as you wait.
We decided on the All In pan roast, lobster roll and corn chowder.
The food arrived at our table in this order: pan roast first, lobster roll next and the chowder last. It should have been the other way around lol.. It's the exact order we ordered it but we just found it weird how the order of what 'should' come first to last was reversed.
As for the food, the pan roast was not piping hot. It came with rice on the side that tasted somewhat dry. The amount of rice didn't seem adequate enough for the serving of pan roast; it's like an ice cream soup sized serving. There was plenty of crab meat dispersed in the tomato based cream, two pieces of colosso shrimp and clumps of shelled lobster meat. The lobster meat was SO overcooked, it was rubbery, literally. We didn't finish this dish but we didn't feel it was worth taking the leftovers home.
The lobster roll was quite good. Note that it is COLD lobster salad on top which was refreshing. We've always had warm or hot lobster filling in the past and being made cold was something different that we actually preferred it made this way. There wasn't too much mayo dressing either. The lobster was just a tad over cooked but not to the point of being rubbery. The bread itself was grilled outside nicely and soft inside. It came with a side of steak fries. This was the highlight of our meal.
The cup of corn chowder was a little off putting for my bf from the extra virgin olive oil drizzled on the top but I was just okay with it. It had chunks of potatoes, wasn't too salty and was very thick and creamy. It was definitely heavy towards the end of our meal.
We may be back to try other items and get the lobster roll again. The pan roast was just alright to us that we wouldn't crave it again. The wait is better than other oyster bars for sure.
