                    The food was fine but the waiter got my order wrong and my husband’s rice didn’t come to the table with the rest of his food. I felt the prices were quite high for what you got. I don’t think I would go back.

                    It was not up to standard in service and food, server was not friendly or customer friendly and I did not enjoy the salmon which I get every time we go,

                    Meal and drinks were expensive. Presentation and quality of the meal was ok but service was very slow. My husband had oysters and sirloin tips and unfortunately, something did not agree with him. He was sick all night! We will not go back !

                    We loved how you could mix and match with different oysters. They were very good. You could buy 1 or as many as you want.

                    Waiter kept leaving table before performing tasks, multiple trips in taking drink order, delivering water and silverware. Food service was slow, food was a little overcooked. Good flavor, lukewarm.
