I reeeally love oysters on a half shell. When I walked by this place and saw their sign for Happy Hour, I knew I had to come back for their $1 oysters on a half shell. Chilled Iced Oysters on the Half Shell for one dollar everyday from 3-6PM.They also have other bar food at HH prices like their Crisp Point Judith Calamari, Tuna Tartare Tacos, Ribeye Steak Sliders...but I just decided to stuff myself with the oysters.
I walked around the forum shops and headed back over at 3pm when their happy hour had started. I ordered a dozen and a Fear and Loathing cocktail. The oysters were really fresh and delicious, a light snack...I had actually just eaten at Max Brenner and was still full but I just couldn't resist the $1 oysters. I LOVE happy hour! Everytime I feel like I'm getting a good deal, I just have to get it!
Since I only had the oysters and cocktail, this review isn't that representative of the rest of the food that they serve. Our server was nice, he was shucking our oysters.
The Fear and Loathing was a tough cocktail to drink. It was one of those types of cocktails that are so strong and not so easy on the palate. To finish it, I had to take it gulps at a time. It wasn't that pleasant.
The Fear and Loathing was PJ Clarke's version of the classic long island iced tea spiked with absinthe and energy. I guess I was more intrigued with the absinthe and energy, but I was pretty dissappointed. It wasn't that pleasant. What made it even more dissappointing was that it was $15. I would have rather spent those $15 at Fat Tuesdays or any other beverage for that matter. You live and you learn I guess!
