Myself and my family enjoyed ourselves for the most part. My dinner was suppose to come with asparagus that which I never received. I asked for a glass of wine which I never received but overall no complaints.

The service was some of the worst. Our server would disappear for 20 minutes and then take our order and we would have to ask someone else for an update on our orders. The restaurant seemed more concerned at time about getting more tables set up. At the end of the day, it shouldn’t take 3 hours to eat at this establishment as I’ve eaten here multiple times.

Will definitely go back!!! We were celebrating a birthday and they surprisingly gave us a beautiful dessert with happy birthday written on it. The service was great. I really have no complaints. It was exactly what I expected an oyster bar to be in terms of food and noise level. The ambience is beautiful. It’s very close to Bryant Park. Great place to eat.
