MALPRACTICE — Restaurant in Portland

I came in on Christmas, initially by myself. I understand they were operating with less staff than usual but that's no excuse for the host's attitude. I ordered the ham sandwich, minus the pineapple and he gave me kind of a look. I ordered the egg nog, which was decent, but only 3oz, so not standard serving. The sandwich came out 25 minutes later but had mayo, which wasn't listed as an ingredient. I asked for another sandwich. The host made a big deal about this, telling me the "build" of the sandwich would be "lacking" without a tsp of mayo.

The price of the cocktails is way over priced for nothing fresh. The service meh and it’s tiny tiny tiny in there.

The cocktails were very tasty and highly inventive without being too wild and crazy.

The oysters were amazing and fresh.

We'll be...
