    I haven't been in a while but hasn't been very good the last few times. I don't think I will go back anymore. Deficient quality, waiter tried hard and fish was overcooked.

    Lovely lunch with friends. Grilled Oyster is rapidly becoming a favorite weekday lunch spot. Start to finish good food and service. A little clattery noisy, so we tend to arrive after 1 when the sound level drops. Staff are great, and let us enjoy our friends, take our time, and linger.

    The food was great. Our waiter was great. Our table was in the middle of traffic and waiters bumped my chair literally every minute of the whole night. Will give them another chance, but they really need to fix the traffic problem.
