    The food was excellent. A little noisy inside. Bar area not very big. Staff forgot a few things but quickly recovered. Drinks were on point. Would visit again.

    I used to love eating here but they must have changed the chef. The food was so gross. My friend ordered the black pasta with lobster and it tasted like it had cumin or curry seasoning, but at the same time it was so bland. Weird combination of flavors that just don’t work. I ordered the black grouper at $44 and it was under seasoned and boring and with no side. So for an additional $9 I ordered the squash al gratin and this was the worst! Dry mushed squash with no flavor. Tasted like baby food. Overall, the menu options were disappointing and uninspired. They need a new chef or this business won’t last
    OystercatchersResponded on April 17, 2025
    Hi Jessica, thank you for your honest feedback. We recently welcomed a new chef, and while change can bring fresh ideas, it's clear we missed the mark during your visit. I'm sorry the dishes didn’t meet expectations—especially ones meant to shine like the black pasta and grouper. Your comments on flavor and presentation are being shared directly with our kitchen team. We’re working hard to refine the menu and would love the chance to make it right on your next visit. Thank you again for your input—it truly helps us grow.

    The service was incredibly slow. We waited for about 10-15 minutes after getting our drinks before they came back for the appetizer order. It didn't get much better after that. On a plus note, order the "Sunchotes." They are wonderful!!

    The food was good and the location is great, but the restaurant continues to struggle with staffing. Despite having a reservation, we had to wait an additional 30 minutes to be seated. Once we were finally seated, the food also took quite a while to come out. Thankfully, our server Zac went above and beyond to make up for the delays with excellent service. The menu could use a bit more variety, and prices are on the higher side. Overall, while the servers do their best, the place feels poorly managed — which impacts the overall experience.
