A Great Place For a Friday Date

Our entrance was wonderful and exciting.  After we were seated it took a  little longer than expected for service. Our waiter came around and asked if we wanted a drink and explained the raw bar. He left and upon returning with our drinks he proceeded to tell us the specials and then stated his name and walked away. I, as my date were both a little taken back by the discourteous waiter, this being my third time I was use to a waiter or waitress that was just as enjoyable as my guests. We pondered the menu sampling raw bar and appetizers in no rush except for the waiters rush for us to order.  The crab cake, hot mussels and oysters were splendid. Then our main meal. I the bay scallops and he the swordfish. While I enjoyed my scallops we were both disappointed in the bland swordfish and over cooked outside and undercooked inside rice balls. We ended the evening with a corona and coffee and agreeing that this was a wonderful experience,the ambience and company were splendid food and service not as much.
