Great service. The moment I knew our server was great, not just good, is when I saw him begin to approach the table to check on us (presumably to do the usual “do you like the food” moment), saw us halfway through the dish already, nodding and smiling, and he just turned around and didn’t bother. Like yes, bless, we were visibly enjoying the food and he knew to skip the check in. Love that. Saves everyone time including him lol. As for the food, we highly recommend the warmed oysters. We love raw oysters and don’t really like cooked, so were skeptical, but very glad we tried them. Unique and delicious. Ever so slightly poached, great flavor, really fun twist.
