text: I don't know if 1 star is right or 2, but it's pretty close.  I think it would have been an easy 2 stars if I didn't go to George's Brasserie the night after to compare this against.\n\nFirst off, the waiter was off. I don't mind that perhaps English wasn't his first language, but there are somethings that do matter.  Like getting your napkin halfway through the appetizers is a little strange.  We were needing some space on the table because me and buddies ordered a lot of food.  It took a really long time for the waiter to come by and clear the dishes  - since it was him who noted the crowded tabletop.  Also, when we got the dessert menu, it literally took him like over ten minutes to come back and get an order from us.  It's wild, but the way the waiter is will really set the tone for the evening.\n\nSecond, the food was not good.  I couldn't help but notice some post here claiming that oysters are really good.  Frankly, I'm no oyster aficionado, but after comparing with other restaurant, it was pretty weak.  In comparison to other oyster bars in the area, they were much to liquid-y. That is, they just didn't have enough substance on the whole and also, the taste wasn't really like seawater, it was more salt water than anything. Fairly disappointed in the oysters. Second, the mussel pot had a pretty good broth, but the mussels were far too small and you could easily tell that they were old/frozen.  The mussels tended to be a bit grainy and fall apart in the mouth.  The sushi was definitely standard and didn't pop out at me at all. Admittedly, the sweet'n'sour calamari or something like that was pretty good, but that's the extent of it.\n\nThird, the ambiance made me feel tired. Lights are too dim and not very crowded.\n\nYeah, I won't be coming back, sorry.  Waiter really set the tone for the night and the food didn't do anything to recover. If I want oysters/mussels, I'll go to another place.\n\ndmo out.
