This location located on the corner of Ted Lion Td & BustletonAve has been around for years, but I…read moredon't recall ever visiting until last night when I went with my daughter and her friend. You could hear the music before reaching the door, and security checked my bag when we entered. My first thought was, Is this a club or a restaurant? The music was good ! I danced in my seat almost the entire meal, I just wasn't expecting that in a restaurant
We were seated quickly. There was a crowded bar to the left and a DJ in another corner, but the dining area was much larger than what you would expect in a club. The music was so loud that we could barely hear our server, Angela. We were practically shouting at one another. She asked the DJ to lower the music, but shortly after taking our order, it was turned right back up.
The half Bum Salad with lump crab, shrimp, chopped onion,bacon,egg,tomato iceberg lettuce I usually don't eat and the house dressing was very good. I recommend getting the dressing on the side if you plan to take any home so the salad doesn't become soggy.
The baked oysters were a no for me because they were covered with too many breadcrumbs.
However, the fried mussels with the sauce were delicious!!! They came with eight, and I would definitely order those again.
My daughter's friend ordered the $38 Dungeness crab, which came with four (he got lucky! The menu says 2 jumbo clusters) claws, corn, potatoes, and broccoli. The corn didn't have much seasoning, but he enjoyed the crab.
Drinks. I ordered a mango peach Bellini that was supposed to contain vodka, but I could barely taste any alcohol. When I ordered an additional shot, Angela brought rum even though the menu said the drink contained vodka. My daughter also had a blue drink and needed to add a shot of tequila to hers.
Unfortunately, the service was disappointing. Angela checked on us only once after bringing the food and then disappeared. I had to find someone else when we needed assistance.
Our bill was $152.88 for two drinks, the Dungeness crab, salad, baked oysters, and fried mussels. An automatic gratuity had already been added, but Angela never mentioned it, and I did not see any sign explaining that gratuity would be included. I only discovered it because I was looking at the bill to decide how much of a tip to leave. Considering the service we received, I would have asked for the gratuity to be reduced, but by then my daughter and I both had headaches from the extremely loud music. So I brought my concerns up to Angela who we had to go search for to pay and we left.
People were also allowed to stand directly outside the entrance and smoke, so we walked straight into cigarette smoke when leaving.
Unfortunately, I'm not sure I would return to dine inside. I may order the salad and fried mussels for takeout because they were good. If the music were kept around the bar area or lowered enough for customers to talk and hear their servers, the dining experience would be much better.
