    The staff is very nice! Drinks were very good (Sidecar & Peargarita). Food was just ok. The crab cake was sort of flat and could use seasoning of some sort, but the fries were good. The oysters were tasty. New England chowder was sort of bland. The Apple Bread pudding was very good. Overall a nice experience but the food could use a bit of work.

    We were greeted right away, delicious drinks to start. We ordered an app (meatballs and ricotta), which were brought very quickly, but it was only warm, not hot. We had just eaten a meatball each when my husband’s entree came. What? No space between app and entree? And we had asked for two, but only one was brought. When I changed to Hamburger, it took 20 min for that to come…but it was perfect and delicious! Overall, it was very busy. Friday night, first in Dec. The manager checked on us and the waiter apologized. All in all, we enjoyed everything, although we didn’t get to eat together (at the same time.)

    The food and the service. We’re both very good. We did have one glitch. The sausage that came with breakfast looked a little under done when it was served. The server took it back to the kitchen to be cooked a little bit more and never brought it back.

    There was something in the air that caused some of the mis-steps at the restaurant. Our vodka tonics didn't have tonic, the lobster arrived without the appropriate lobster cracker and we had to wait for over 20 minutes for our entrees. We give high praise to the lobster dinner & the lobster roll. The raw oyster appretizer was shucked properly and was tasty. We've been to the Tun House on many occassions & this was the first time things were off kilter.

    The oysters were so bad that I was afraid to eat some of them; mushroom soup wasn't very good and the chocolat dessert was very salty
