| - It's our second visit here and we had a totally opposite experience than the 1 st time and I l gonna write this review here as nobody has contacted me back from the restaurant since past month as I have sent an email them. We knew exactly what to avoid at that place which is a bar area. My bf wanted to come back here as he loves oysters and they really have great and fresh selection of seafood over there. I made reservation online and placed order for the desert in advance as it was my bf bday, I also called the restaurant in advance to request specific seating area as we knew it gets extremely crowded on Saturday nights and if you look in lost of reviews people don't like loud and obnoxious bar area, so I asked to be seated in main dining area, they said no problem. We had reservation for 6:45 getting seated right away with no wait...bar area. I told hostess it's been a misunderstanding bcs I particularly have requested not to be seated in the bar area; she goes no problem so she walks us to PATIO area through another bar; I told her we will not be sitting here as this is another bar area and it's cold here. Hostess leaves and another one comes back to let us know that they only have tables for 4 people and they won't be able one to us. Oh great how kind of you. Having in mind it's 7 pm at that point we didn't leave the place as it's gonna be impossible to find any other dining spot at that time. Server shows up, he is on training. We asked about a wine suggestion for a pinot noir, he tells us he has no good idea about red wines but still never asks his trainer to the table for maybe a little better of suggestion. So we just ordered something of the list. We got oysters for appetizer, they are great of course, steaks prepared to order and no complains here, sides are tasty except I would probably skip on lobster mashed potatoes , those were just little too runny and tasted likes boxed instant potatoes , definitely not worth the price. In a meanwhile the bar area is getting over crowded and all these people just keep pouring into patio area, at this point we have 4 drunk chicks with martini glasses bumping right into my back and apologizing constantly and guys talking about sports and screaming for another beer across the room. Have you ever ate 300 worth of dinner in the crowded room while people constantly are bumping into you? It felt like a night at the nightclub. The sad part nobody from staff cared and not a once we seen a single manager ! How disappointing is that! We ask for the bill and of course they forget to bring my bf birthday cake, server showed up with 2 cookies and a bill. After I asked them where was his dessert they brought it out. We just paid the bill and left, they took the dessert of our bill " as they made a mistake " , oh please do you think anyone cares about $10 pudding after you have ruined whole our night ?
