  • I came here for my birthday last night. I've been craving oysters for weeks so I begged my s/o to bring me here. I'm not sure if I overhyped, because I've heard so many good things about Rodney's, but being an oyster fanatic, I was sure disappointed. They had their "Winemaker's" event last night so it was a bit packed and loud. As soon as we sat down, we were given complimentary bread and butter. The bread was cold... We then ordered an oyster sampler - cost over $40 for a dozen. I assume the server chose the expensive ones. Of the 12, only one selection was actually good. The rest were either mediocre or bad. We also ordered clam chowders - which lacked salt and flavor in general. I actually felt like canned clam chowder tasted better (no joke). For a seafood bar, that was disappointing. It was $10 a cup - which is RIDICULOUSLY expensive. The menu selection, I think, was not that wide of a range. It was also very vague. Most of the dishes weren't paired with anything... Just an order of one item, which I was not accustom to. We ordered a serving of steamed mussels ($14 for about a pound) - which was one of the better items we got. We also ordered a small scallop and pasta (which was probably the only paired dish on the menu). Pasta was also good - sauce was on point. I think it was $16. For two people, our bill came up to $100 plus tip. Oh yeah, and we weren't full. I actually thought Rodney's was a bit more on the "high end" ambiance... But I should've known better... It's an oyster bar. It was more on the casual side. Service was horrid. Our server lacked customer service skills, whispered, and failed to answer our questions about the menu items. "Can you tell me about the NB Smelts?" "They're New Brunswick Smelts." *facepalm* She wasn't the friendliest either. The hostesses also weren't very friendly. Didn't smile or respond when I said thank you and goodbye to them. Definitely was not a good idea coming here to celebrate my birthday. I felt extremely bad forcing my s/o to come here and dish out so much money for less than mediocre food and horrible service. I probably wouldn't come back here either because nothing "wow'ed" me. There are definitely better oyster bars out there that isn't a highly rated restaurant. Two stars because the pasta and mussels were good.
