We were there about 4:30. The line wasn't so crazy. Luckily all the people left at the same time, so we just waited for 10 minutes. Right after we sat down, the line got longer and longer. The Oysters were so fresh. We added another dozen after we finished the first dozen in a minute. Palace Pan Roast is a must try! Alaskan Chowder was tasty too. Will definitely go back again. But timing is most important, otherwise you might wait for 2hrs. I warn you. No kidding.
