| - This place has great food. I went there every Wednesday for months to enjoy the atmosphere of sitting outside on the patio, where I could watch a game on one of the TVs, slurp down the deliciously fresh oysters on the half-shell, sip on a refreshing 20 oz seasonal draft special, and pick an appetizing entré. However, over the last month, the service had steadily gotten worse. It came to a head on our last visit, when we were seated on the patio, like normal. After 10 minutes, another table was seated. After another five minutes, another table was seated. At this point, I asked the hostess for a server, and pointed out we'd not seen anyone for fifteen minutes. After still no service, I went inside and asked the hostess to please send out the manager. The manager finally came out and was very apologetic. I was not really looking for a comp, but I don't know that I really felt they took me seriously. The manager brought out my oysters, and sent us a waitress, who was very nice and also apologetic. I overheard one of the staff say they were really busy inside, so the original outside server was pulled off service to concentrate on patrons inside. I haven't gone back since. I really miss the atmosphere - and the food - but I am not sure if I'll be returning. I don't deserve to be treated like second-rung business, just because it's busier inside. I'd just assume take my business where I am appreciated.
