Service and food could use improvement. Went on a Saturday evening, they were fairly busy. Seated within a few minutes and waitress was friendly, table was clean and nice atmosphere. Everything was good until our orders came. The rolls were almost burnt (hard and really dark on top), considering that I have had full conversations with friends/family/coworkers on which restaurant has the best bread, the management may want to think about putting more effort into their bread. I ordered a steak medium rare - the person who brought the food did not ask me to cut into it which should be an automatic. Waitress came right after food was delivered to fill up my water and I asked her for butter. After that - she did not come over once to check on us, bring me the butter or refill anyone's drink. My steak was oddly cooked too - I cut into it and it was completely grey in the middle (well done), but didn't taste bad and since the waitress never came back I just ate it. A few of the bites around the outside though were rare, thinking their grill was not evenly cooking the steak. At the end we had to ask another waiter to get our waitresses attention to get the check. I would give them another chance because the food was mostly good, but if I receive similar service again I wouldn't come...
Read moreThere was a big piece of the bow broke off, then it was a bad crack from on side to the other side. I said you call yourself the owner. You would actually let someone eat from this bow cracked, all the way from one side to the other. The big chip was as big around as a nickle. I told the young owner of the restaurant that if it was my restaurant I would have never brought something like that to the table. I told him I worked restaurant business all my life. We was never to put nothing out there with a chip, we had to check our plates and our bows. Be waiter that waited on us was very rude. The waiter was rushing us. I would like to go back cuz my husband loves the liver and onions from there from there. Even with the managers attitude I would not even invite none of my friends there. God bless that manager at Joe's Oyster Bar to me I'm sorry that you have the problem in your restaurant like that. Hope you will do better next time. Put a one star but you don't deserve that one. The way you treat your customers you won't have nobody before long. God bless you, I hope you do better in your business in the days to...
Read morePleasantly surprised by this spot. 1st time diners and we just ordered as much as we could stomach, which was too much. Raw Oysters as expected, but drier that most oyster spots. Chargrilled ones were cheesy and grille well, as fore mentioned, drier than other spots I’ve tried but maybe it’s the season… Mac and cheese was made with gouda cheese so it was flavorful. The clam chowder was off the charts, and better than most. Clams were soft and melted in your mouth chewy. The fish in the fish tacos were broiled perfectly, but would have liked the slaw on top to be dressed with some kind of dressing in the slaw instead of just being a plain cabbage. I mean there was dressing on the side but again, comparatively to other fish tacos, the salad on top usually is more flavorful than just the raw veggie. Ceviche was great, perfectly seasoned and citrusy. Overall a great experience. Unknowingly, To boot they have specials that made it better cost wise, but we just wanted to try as much as we can… defiantly going back to try...
