Early dinner for three. Food was delicious. Ordered 12 oysters. Received (and charged for) 6. No problem.The three entrees ordered were intelligently served to table one at a time. Brilliant. Followed too quickly by mains - all 7 plates attempted to be squished onto our table about an hour after being seated! Tall wait woman delivering food clearly annoyed when asked to leave 2 pastas and return other 4 plates to kitchen so we could actually enjoy hot food, and not be rushed out of our seats. Her attitude dampened an otherwise lovely evening
