Not even close to what is once was. The once funny attitude is no longer acceptable because the experience and food is honestly now mediocre. Not worth the price, time or patience. The once famous fried oysters have been greasy bombs the last two visits. Almost inedible.
What a great dining experience !!
We'd never have gone, but we got a gift certificate. We took home the "famous" meatballs, and some other of their selections. The HUGE disappointment was the meatballs! Gummy, hard, and overly garlicky. We eventually plowed through them, but it was a chore! My entire family has tasted these meatballs and none of us likes them. Bobby Flay must have had a totally off night when they managed to beat him on a meatball throw-down!
Can only be described as schizophrenic dining. Excellently prepared small samples come at you from every direction. The service very good and seemed well coordinated at keeping food on your table. I wish I could remember every dish we had.
Simply delicious! One of our favorite restaurants. A bit of advice, do not eat the day you go because you will need the room!
