| - My friend heard about their fresh oysters special on Tuesdays and wednesdays ($1/oyster), so we've decided to try it out on Tuesday.
It was obvious the place was lacking staffs since it took a few minutes until someone to noticed us after we awkwardly stood there not knowing if we should seat ourselves or wait. But once we sat down, the gentleman who seated us (looks like the manager or boss) gave us each an oyster to try and they were delicious. We then ordered a dozen of the malpeques p.e.i oysters which was recommended to us, and half a dozen of french kiss oysters from n.b. All was fresh and tasty, one didn't look too great so the gentleman mentioned above kindly replaced with another one. The place is simple and nice, somehow it reminds me of oyster boys with lots of seatings at the bar and high tables.
Unfortunately, i didn't get a chance to try anything else there besides oysters since I've ordered a Chilean Sea Bass and it never came, after 25mins of waiting I had to tell the waitress to cancel it and bring the bill if they haven't started cooking it. I then noticed when she came to the pos system, she printed the bill out quite quickly, which meant she forgot to put the order in. Canceling an item out doesn't take that quick.
I understand that they lack staffs and when it's busy, things happens. But what I'm unhappy about was that the waitress then came and only apologize to only my friend and not to me. It's a courtesy to apologize to everyone at the table in general and not just one particular person, especially when I'm the one that is already unhappy that I did not get the food I ordered and was starving. I'm still very much upset because she forgot to put in my order, I starved and had to settle in eating that tasteless hot dog in the movie theater afterward. And I didn't even get an apology.
Also, after she gave us our change she kind of stood there procrastinating, giving me an impression like she was waiting for her tip.
I'll come back once again to try the other food, hopefully my service experience will be better then and hope the other items on the menu are good. Will review once more.

Update: nov 12/12
Been back a few times after the review. I was able to try more dishes from the menu, most were great. I have no complaints about the food or drinks at all. However service is still an issue the last time I was there (month or two ago). Hope it got better now, but do come by for the food. :)
