I'm thinking of trying it out, but thought I'd check for any CH experiences first.

The place was pretty swanky, and the oysters were priced accordingly. But that's to be expected for nice, cold-water oysters from the Pacific NW or New England/Canada. Actually, I can't believe this is the beginning of the third r month and we have not been back. Oysters anyone?

Hubby and I have had two dreadful experiences (hey, we'll give anyone a second shot!). The room you're seated in echoes worse than a college dorm room, and the management staff left much to be desired. The large, obscenely drunk (and screaming) party across from us (this has happened twice) made eatting a meal much less than enjoyable. When we asked them maybe, perhaps to keep it down, we were told "we're spending more money than you, so we can be as loud as we want". Management was told of the situation but did nothing - our concerns were not even acknowledged. We left feeling like we'd had a pizza-inn atmosphere on a Kobe Beef budget. The final word - you can get steaks and seafood with a lot less attitude somewhere else.
