Oyster Bar

The timing of our arrival proved to be impeccable because we immediately found a pair of unoccupied stools while minutes later there was a line formed. Executive Chef Bradley Manchester, former owner/chef of the now shuttered Glutton restaurant, has upped the ante by modifying a number of classic oyster bar dishes as well as introducing several new ones.  My wife went with the combination seafood pan roast that included Old Bay seasoning that she judged to be better than Palace Station’s. High praise indeed.  

I gravitated to the curried coconut seafood stew with jasmine rice and pickled chile, a perfect marriage of impeccably fresh seafood and curry sauce.  We were also served complimentary Old Bay spiced potato chips directly from the fryer.  Overall we thought this meal was about as good as one could expect from an oyster bar.
