Sorry Charlie's Oyster Bar really lived up to the hype (& recommendation). During my visit, we…read morepopped in here for an early dinner and, even without a reservation, we got seated fairly quickly. So, that was already a great sign - considering the restuarnt was quite busy. We opted to sit outdoors to enjoy the lovely weather, and as soon as we were seated, we were greeted by our server, and it was smooth sailing. Our drinks and food arrived quickly, and everything was pretty tasty.
The restaurant has ample seating throughout, ranging from indoor to outdoor and rooftop seating. It has a modern feel to it, with nautical decor to play on the Oyster Bar it is known for. The staff are super chipper (or so they were that day we arrived). And the overall service was pretty quick in my opinion, even during the start of their dinner rush. So, overall, I was already pretty impressed.
For the food, we decided to share the Pomegranate Ceviche, which included their market fish, pomegranate, pickled green tomatoes, shallots, serrano peppers, and okra hot sauce. It was served with fried wontons as a chip substitute, and WOW, oh WOW! I had never had fried wontons used as chips before, and it was absolutely delightful. For our entree, we also shared the Seared Red Snapper (which included sweet & sour bell pepper escovitch, spinach, and yellow rice), and it was YUM!! I don't remember the exact drink I ordered, but it was also very tasty. Overall, the first-time experience was quite delightful.
I would definitely visit Sorry Charlie's again! I'd also like to try their Brunch out as I heard it was also a vibe / great experience.
