Just went here yesterday for the first time. I really want to like this place, and I'm definitely giving it the benefit of the doubt, since it's so new. I'm very glad that a place like this is right around the corner from where I live. And I look forward to coming again when they work out some of their "newness" (and open the back yard "oasis").
Unfortunately, I caught a glimpse of their sample food menu a while back before they opened, and their current food menu, with about 5 smallish items, is nowhere near that. Oysters, pulled pork, hot dog, chips, and nachos is the extent of it (for now). I guess people aren't going here mainly for the food, but the owner seemed like they wanted to have a bigger food menu, boasting a larger kitchen than his other place, Bearded Lady. Not sure what happened, or if they are still working on growing it out. I tried the nachos and banh mi beef dog, and both were really good. I'm really hoping they will expand upon the menu to offer the ceviche, lobster roll, and a bigger oyster selection from their sample menu. And I'm also hoping they update their Yelp and/or Facebook "website" to show their actual menu as they grow. I couldn't find any info online other than a customer-posted drink menu photo. Not sure why a bar/restaurant wouldn't want to post an easily accessible menu online for potential customers.
All that being said, the oyster happy hour is amazing! The oysters were some of the best I've had at any $1 happy hour. Though, it was a bit disappointing when the menu just said "oysters", without giving a specific kind. Even when they were brought to the table, no one told us there were 3 different kinds in the dozen we ordered. They REALLY need to work on the menu information and table service. I had to go up to the bar to order food and oysters, instead of anyone coming to the table. Perhaps they are still working that out as well, while they grow. Like I said, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt... for now. Only because I really do want to like this place.
The drinks were okay. I'm not a big rum person, but I'd say the presentation was the highlight. Very pretty and carefully made drinks. My only really big complaint (other than not having any ceviche), was that the music was so loud, I couldn't hear the person sitting next to me. No idea why the music needed to be that loud at 7pm on a Wednesday. I may go back and try it again when they open the back yard in a month. I'm sure they can't have music that loud outside.
All in all, they have the potential to earn that 5th star once they work out the kinks. C'mon, Super Power! (weird name, BTW) read more
