"My family came in for mother's day brunch and we were not impressed. Our server never introduced herself to my family and instead we overheard her say that she was annoyed that no one was tipping 20%. We waited about 20 mins before we received our mimosas and had our orders taken. We received a plate of 4 biscuits 20 minutes after placing our order. We did not get any plates and I had to walk up to the bar and ask for plates. The soup arrived about a half hour after we received the rolls. The soup was incredibly salty and we didn't have any water on our table. I had to again go up to the bar and ask for water as our table was not tended to. Then we waited for 45-50 minutes to receive our main course. I ordered rare steak and eggs and received cold eggs with incredibly tough, salty, and burnt steak. I did not get a steak knife and didn't want to send the meal back as the waitress did not return to ask how our meal was so I decided to eat it as to not ruin mother's day brunch. We asked for boxes and water after waiting with our finished plates in front of us for 20 min. We never received the water and I had to again ask for it. As we waited for dessert, my family grew so annoyed with the innatentive service that I went to the bar to ask for our check. The creme brule was the best part of the meal but it still wasn't fantastic. This brunch was 50 a person and the food was most definitely not worth the price. If the food is that price, it should be worth it. But no part of our dining experience was worth it. Highly disappointed with the whole ordeal and wish I would have spent my money elsewhere. The worst part is that there were only 4 other tables dining at the restaurant so there really was no excuse for the poor service and poorly prepared food."

"This was a restaurant I was excited to visit again. My last visit was one year ago and worthy of 3 1/2 stars. I returned at the recommendation of friends who had a wonderful experience sitting at the bar watching the oyster shuckers work their magic while enjoying wonderful food. I wanted that kind of night. Unfortunately this evening's experience was not as good. I should have known right from the moment I walked in. It is one those restaurants that make you feel as though you are not worthy to be there. I asked for a seat at the bar and was told it was "reserved". There were at least 10+ seats at the bar unoccupied all evening. Why didn't I listen to my in inner voice that said "leave now!". I have no concern with the food, it was excellent. I started with a dozen oysters that I subsequently learned were $51. They were from Connecticut; and I believe flown in each with their own first class seat. I then had a scallop risotto that was delectable. The service was awful. Indifference is probably the appropriate word. I paid $260 for a meal for 2 and honestly believe I would get better service at a fast food establishment. I am not concerned that the waiter had no knowledge of the 9 different types of oysters served at an "oyster bar", or the items forgotten on the order, or not serving the wine until 3/4 through the main meal, all of which is excusable and understandable. It is the utter indifference to attending customers that is inexcusable. I found that I couldn't wait to end the evening. I have eaten in many fantastic restaurants all over the world and am happy to pay a fair price and tip well. Quite frankly frankly this place wasn't even worth the time I have spent reviewing it here. Save yourself the frustration and go elsewhere."
