  • Adelina's review was eerily reminiscent of the experience we had last night. I was actually debating on reviewing because I wanted to like this place so much. The restaurant was pretty empty when we walked in which was surprising since it's so new. I figured it would be packed, but there were only a few people at the bar and one other table. We were greeted by the bartender and sat at a table. The menu is very small and some of the items are pretty pricey. We had quite a few questions which our server gladly answered, though he couldn't tell us much about the different types of raw oysters and said that they were mostly new to the restaurant. A typed or written menu would have been helpful. He told us the soup of the day was a chorizo lobster stew. My boyfriend ordered it and our waiter came back a few minutes later saying the kitchen changed the soup of the day to a southwest clam and oyster stew. My boyfriend said that was fine and he'd get that instead. Our waiter then came back again a few minutes later saying the new soup wasn't ready so we both got clam chowder. Strange. A cup is $4 and a bowl was $8, I asked the difference and he said the cup was 8 oz and the bowl was double (16). I made a joke to my boyfriend saying at an awful restaurant I worked at once they used to say the same thing and the bowls were the same size... not double. Well, the same thing is going on here. For $8 we got the same amount of soup that should've been a $4 cost, just in a shallow bowl instead of a tall cup. Regardless, the clam chowder wasn't really a creamy thick soup. The base actually was more like an oyster stew with a cream broth - very runny and thin to the point where I thought we got the wrong soup (but did not say anything). They forgot one of our oysters so we had to request the last one. Our water was only filled when we asked. The clam stuffies we ordered by recommendation I didn't like at all. My boyfriend ate both and seemed to be "meh" about them as he thought they were oddly sweet and I thought they were incredibly salty (weird). All in all I think they are still trying to figure out how to run as a restaurant. The oysters - which they should play up more and really stick to were fresh and tasty. Truly good oysters, especially for the Pittsburgh area. The décor was whimsical but the food was overpriced for what you get and was just ok, the service was confusing based on the kitchen and food items, and the alcohol was WAY overpriced. Think $13 for a specialty cocktail. If Merchant Oyster Co. stuck to what they know - oysters - they'd be WAY more successful. I hope to see them succeed but we both agree that if things don't change, in the area of Lawrencevill they probably will not.
