"We've dined regularly at Cafe Society for years always enjoyed it, so when our last visit, a couple months ago, was disappointing, I did not write a review and decided to give it another try. This time was worse, I won't be back Drinks: I ordered a specific top shelf liquor for my martini, definitely didn't receive it. Wine was good, but the pours inconsistent; one of our party received a brimming glass, another what appeared to be less than a half-pour Food: The menu now offers seafood rather than lobster bisque, which would be fine except it was a thin, watery soup with one piece of a shrimp. Taste appearance, we guessed it comes from a pre-made base to mix with water. The special was salmon piccata. It was just okay. The sauce was heavy featured about a half a jar's worth of capers, which overpowered the seafood. Worse, though, the pasta was very overcooked. Shrimp Caesar salad had been stuck in the fridge so the hot shrimp melted the parm, which congealed to the plate so I had to scrape my plate to try to eat my salad The Roasted Oysters Maurice has always been my favorite dish on the menu. At my last visit, the presentation had changed from oysters on the half-shell to a dish in the sauce. At that time, the toasted bread was stale inedible, while the oysters were no longer freshly shucked, but from a container. It was disappointing. When I went again this week, it was disgusting. Again the dish featured a shallow bowl of sauce scant oysters with bread on the side. The sauce was fine, but when I bit into an oyster, it made me gag. They were old and decayed, an unpleasant mush with a foul taste. I'm sure the bucket of shucked oysters has been in and out of the freezer or reach-in multiple times in an attempt to stretch its lifespan. I recognize cost-cutting measures that restaurants have thin profit margins, but the food has become inedible. I'm so disappointed, but after two poor meals in a row, I think I won't be back."
