"For beginners, the food at this restaurant is above average—quite good, in fact. However, the service leaves much to be desired. We visited on a Monday at 2 PM and it took a long time just to get seated. After about an hour, we finally received our menus, but we constantly had to ask for things because the staff didn't seem attentive. We waited 10 minutes for the menu and more than 30 minutes for our food. Meanwhile, all the other tables that arrived after us received their orders, while our waitress had forgotten to place our order altogether. Overall, we left disappointed and unsatisfied with the service. This was the second time we experienced such issues. We won't be returning to TJ Oyster Bar."
