Known for their oysters, we were glad to be able to savour these freshly shackled beauties as well as work our way though the other tasty starters like fried oyster "po boys" and the sinfully good grilled bacon. Another foodie highlight (for me) was their take of "mac and cheese" while the deconstructed lobster pie was interesting (love the flaky pastry) and overall presentation made this a very photogenic dish. My only lament was that the fresh chunks of lobster seemed alittle "wasted" on this dish. Ed's kurobuta pork also turned out to be another good choice and it went really well with the jammy sauce. Thankfully, there was enough to go around without us having a food war.

While I relished every single bite, guess my other 'complaint' would be their American-sized portions which were way too much for one person. While one could potentially share mains, would be ideal if they could reduce the portions (and prices!) to a more Singaporean size so that one could order more in terms of variety.
In view of how stuffed we were, it was tragic to not be able to fully maximise our right to dessert resulting in a very good apple crumble pie being shared amongst the 6 of us. *wistful sighs*
As lovely a meal as this was, it was also alot pricier than your average American fare. Next time, perhaps lunch on a lazy afternoon for more affordable dining.
