Very disappointed! While the service was fantastic and the oysters were great, this place is wasted potential. They have an attractive cocktail menu that is very poorly executed. Based on the prices, I was expecting a good meal and was very let down. The seafood risotto was an acidic mess and the Atlantic Salmon was bland, boring and thrown on a plate alongside dry, inedible rice. I didn't bother sending it back as I had seen their chef's potential.
Worst part was, before we were done forcing down the food the cool atmosphere was ruined when we were interrupted by the loudest and most obnoxious music imaginable. The volume wouldn't have been as offensive if the bass wasn't turned all the way up, the vibration in our chests making every swallow that much more laborious. This DJ should be working bat-mitzvas. No one should be deafened by The Black Eyed Peas while trying to eat. I was $200 in with a group on their way to join us and forced to leave. It was really that bad.
That being said, I would give the bar tender another shot, the service was great and the oysters are worth coming back for. Should I find out something has been done about the Friday night music nightmare I would try again. (For drinks and oysters only...)
