Oyster Bar popolari a Sonoma

We eventually had an amazing time but we had to ask for a different server as soon as we sat down because the one who was waiting on us was so obnoxiously rude. It was a birthday celebration surprise and one of us was emailing a video to our birthday girls husband and the waiter got annoyed - banged the glass for everyone’s attention and because my friend didn’t put her phone down he just walked away and didn’t take our order. It was seriously one of the rudest things I had ever seen. So we asked for a different server. The bartender waited on us and she was amazing. Food outstanding. Appetizers especially were all delicious. Steak tartar was my favorite.

We had a great evening. The big question to the waiter was Seabass scallops? He told us that the Seabass was great. The scallops were amazing. I got the Seabass and my wife got the scallops and he was red. The scallops was amazing. The Seabass was just great. To be honest, I would not blame it on the sleep as I would blame it on the fact that it wasn’t cooked the way I like it to be carried cake was amazing. Wine was amazing.

Great food and ambience. Our main server was ok while others were fantastic. They actually stopped by to ask if we needed anything more than the main server. The dungeness crab pasta was the highlight of the meal

When we checked in with hostess she said, Whose birthday is it? Once seated the staff brought to the table a lovely handwritten birthday card. Though we chose not to order dessert they brought an irresistible vanilla ice cream with lit candle to complete my celebration. Service was impeccable. The waiter was able to say “yes” to each request. The halibut upon a bed of lentil and carrot was divine. They offered a “house wine” that was red, a Cabernet Sauvignon. It was excellent. This restaurant has their act together. No wonder almost every seat was filled.

We LOVE the Shuckery and go at least once a month. The Film Noir cocktail is the best. We had the short ribs dinner last night that we were not thrilled with but the salads are always very good. I think its best just to stick to fish dishes.
