| - Thursday is cheap wine and oyster night!
I've been waiting to swing by for a while now so that I could benefit from the $1 oysters and $5 glasses of house wine (or 1/2 price bottles).
These West Coast Oysters were fresh and lovely on their own, or with a little lemon. I went for two rounds of six...barely managed to remember to take a photo of the second plate. I was so hungry!!!
The three sauces provided were cocktail sauce, and two variations of a garlic Hennessey mignonette, one slightly pinkish and the other more on the yellow side.
The "yellow" mignonette was very sweet, so I felt that you lost the sense of the garlic and onions. The "pink" one was more balanced and quite pleasant. I was a little concerned that the description of the mignonettes included "salad dressing". (Oh. Dearie. Me.) But I know when to shut up and eat...I asked what they were and she was simply the very wonderful messenger. The cocktail sauce was, well, cocktail sauce. Delicious, but cocktails sauce nonetheless. My recommendation is to taste the sauces and decide whether you really need them. These oysters certainly don't.
I must commend my server, Cat, and manager, Brad, for once again being so friendly and welcoming. Although the oysters by themselves, sans accoutrements, were a solid 4, the service is always a 5!!!
