I had read about this restaurant for years and finally decided to go. First off - the
service is probably the worst I've ever experienced! The waitress forgot our drinks
three times, didn't bring water and we had to ask three people to send her over so
we could order.We saw the hostess serve the people next to us. We had to move
our table because the parents at the next table couldn't (or wouldn't) control their
screaming children. The oysters on the half shell were fab. The oysters Rockefeller
were so-so, I've never had them with bacon or Sambuca, they were good though.
We decided to try the stew because it's ""famous"".
OMG! It was horrible! Imagine a bowl of hot milk and butter with minced seafood
thrown in to it. Absolutely NO flavor, no salt, no pepper, no potato, no veg, no
thickening no spice, just milk, butter and seafood - yecch. The prices are high for
the quality of food. I think next time I want oysters I'm going to Jakes!
