| - A must go to spot now that I have been here!
Funny turn of events but I had won money on the Monopoly machine while waiting in line for a seat at the restaurant and when it was time to eat, printed out the voucher. I unknowingly left the voucher in my pocket so the next day, had to come back to the hotel to cash out and figured I mind as well eat here again because it was that good!
So this review combines both my experiences at Oyster Bar, what a steal!
Day 1:
Dinner time Wed Night - 1 hour wait
Yes, there is limited seating here. They also don't allow you to over order here just so they can keep customers going in and out.
To order:
Dozen oysters - good but on the small side (coming back the following day, the patron next to me ordered the same but his oysters were at least twice the size of mine the previous day)
Clam chowder - tastes like melted pepperjack cheese, yum
Combination pan roast - $5 splitting charge, comes with rice... loaded with seafood and tastes great with the rice... this was the star of the meal hands down
Shrimp cocktail - ordered this but the waitress was slammed and by the time we
had brought it to her attention, we were full off other stuff
Oyster shooters - filled ours with vodka... very nice
Service was as fast as it could be. All seats were filled so things were a little bit too chaotic for my taste. Even so, not bad given the circumstances.
Day 2:
Lunch time Thurs afternoon - no wait
Ended up ordering completely new items.
To order:
Dozen clams - much meatier than oysters, can't say I prefer them over oysters though
Shrimp cocktail - pretty standard, not presented very nicely though
Gumbo - this one grows on you for sure, not a big fan after the first bite but it got progressively tastier as the meal went on
Service as expected was more attentive (as there were less people). There is a chef here that doesn't seem to enjoy his job so that was a bit off putting.
All in all, the food really takes center stage here. I really felt like I was getting my money's worth by eating here not once, but twice. I'll be back for sure!
