One year ago today I met my life saviour.
So today we call for a celebration!
---
Last year today I was requested to attend an event by P.
And now we are going to a new hunt by the same guy.
It all started at Oyster Bar,
so we thought it will be nice (+significant) to have oysters & wine tonight.
I'm not keen in paying extra for French whites.
NZ does the trick too!
Hmm, somehow the one that I always wanted will be out of stock.
We took the waiter's recommendation.
Counter chef busy with his seafood... 
Preparing to serve... 
Maine Lobster
NZ oysters.
---
We actually ordered for a mix of shells stated on the menu.
The waiter failed to inform us those were sold out & there was a stock delay of flight from Boston when taking our orders. Later on, without consulting us, the servers simply changed our order to NZ oysters. We were very upset & taken aback! Obviously we rejected the shells. Firstly the price/ quality is different. If we hadn't ask, we will be kept in the dark? Anyways, the waiter wasn't able to give me a proper explaination and I didn't want to ruin my dinner so I took the shells nevertheless. To compensate for his dishonest mistake, he had to give us the dozen for free as token of goodwill. So, moral of story. Never assume everything will be perfect even you are at a fine dine. I hated to play the evil customer, but he should have come clean before us asking for the truth.

I guess least the staff were smart to replace us with a bubbly & all-smiley waiter who showed a better service & EQ towards customers.

We had enjoyed our dinner & the rest of the evening...
Mac & cheese
Hash brown.
(It was highly recommended by the staff)
Crab cakes

The 1st waiter didn't do a great job for this dish. As this dish is upon availability, he should not recommended us to take on 300grams. We ended up not able to finish 3/4 of what we ordered in all.
On the average cost per pax is $200+ w/o sweets.

It's worth trying at least once tho. but only if they have their specialty shells. Don't bother about the NZ oysters cos' I'm sure we can find better ones. The overall experience wasn't too bad. Unfortunately I wasn't too happy to start off with else we could have stayed on & try out the sweets.
