   We found a gem in San Antonio! Absolutely everything we ordered was outstanding. Excellent service too. We will definitely be returning.

   Second time and just as good as the first! After my first visit I knew I have to bring my Connecticuter mother. She loved the lobster roll and that they called it Connecticut style when she asked for it warm.

   First time dining and it was superb! Started out with some oysters on the half and the Salmon Crudo, perfection! Had the Fish & Chips along with a Spicy Shrimp Pasta dish. Pasta was delicious, lots of flavor! Fish was perfectly fried. Excited to return and try some new plates.

   Our waitress was great, despite being on the job two days. It is very loud inside with a strong echo. Sit outside if it’s nice

   We came at a slow time so it was quiet but I could see it being loud during a rush. The oysters were fresh and the fish and chips were delicious! Can’t wait to come back and try more items on the menu.

   Everything was great! We had the dozen oyster tour. Only two species actually stood out. The others all tasted the same lol. We were put in the main dinner room and there were two large parties overpowering the room. We found out there was a quiet room away from the public. I will be requesting that room next time. But that's it everything else was great.

   I’m not certain how they received a Michelin star. First, they were out of 3 things on the menu that were listed online. They had one server for the entire outside patio. Very limited menu for drinks, no deserts available, no toilet paper in the restrooms and trash overflowing. The server told me they had no vegetables that they could serve vs French fries. Food was mediocre and we had to pay to park down a dark alley. It’s so dark outside we couldn’t read the menus. Very disappointed in the new location. I went to the old location a few times and they were definitely not prepared for the move.

    The food quality saves it. Service was pretty ordinary, especially given they've received a Michelin recommendation now. The food is GREAT, really enjoyed the meal part of it although it is very expensive given the city we're in. The music is FAR too loud (how am I this old). It's like the place is conflicted on whether it wants to be a restaurant or a bar/club, I guess it does say that it's an Oyster "Bar" but the vibes just didn't feel right for a dining experience, I think it fits as a good happy hour spot though, could have just been my expectations were higher. The big shocker was that they ran out of desert the day BEFORE we visited and then didn't have any today, so as a heads up, they're not making the deserts fresh. I feel like for the price point there's better options in San Antonio than this.
