Brick City Oyster Bar & Grill

Horrible service. But I guess it's one of two choices in town.

I didn't actually get to eat there... so this is my rating based on walking in.  It was a Saturday night at 6pm, and I wanted some oysters. I'd heard from friends that this place was pretty good, so I thought I'd pop over before heading to a movie.  The parking lot was getting full but there were plenty of open spaces.  I pulled up, walked in, and waited at the hostess station to be welcomed.  A couple walked in ahead of me and was taken to a seat. Before leaving, the young male host greeted me and said he'd be with me in a moment... all good so far.   While waiting, an older lady (I presume now she's the owner) was wandering up to the hostess station. I was hanging around for the gentleman to return, saw a friend right at the bar no more than 8 feet away, hugged her and then resumed by position at the hostess stand where I had been.  She finally looked at me with a look like what the heck was I doing there.  I spoke "table for one."  She told me that "sorry" that she wouldn't be able to seat me til 8:30 or later.  I said "ok" and then she told me I could sit at the bar.  (Note: single female sitting at a bar on a Saturday night... nah, Momma brought me up better than that).... Anyway, she gets a 2 stars because she didn't seem very customer oriented or even friendly.  Her nonverbal communication didn't make me feel welcome or appreciated as a potential customer. Rather, I felt like I was intruding for walking in her doors.

Went here on a Sunday, 1/2 price oysters, which were shucked in front of us.  Beer and food arrived quickly. Service was great, Kat was engaging and friendly.  Would recommend.
