The food was excellent, thoroughly enjoyed. Disappointed to be seated by the plastic screens, it was cold and drafty. As I’d booked weeks in advance I would have expected to be in the main seating area. Our waiter was slow to check on us and long wait between entree and mains. Service could be better but food was great thankfully.

It was a rainy day, and we had booked a table for 6:15 pm a few days ago. We arrived at 6:10 pm. We were assigned an outdoor seat that was covered. We thought it might be fully booked, so we didn't request to sit inside. However, during dinner, we noticed that they deliberately assigned all individuals with Chinese ethnicity (or anyone with dark hair) to the outdoor area, while those with brown hair were seated indoors. We observed that the indoor area was only 40% occupied, with many seats available throughout the night. The food was okay, but we definitely won't be going there again.

I was pleasantly surprised by the food at Oyster & Chop but disappointed by the service. Not sure if our server was new or just lazy but they left our table and at least one other waiting a long time, when they didn't seen to be busy. Another staff member had to pick up their slack.

We had the calamari entree and the sharing lamb shoulder plate. Ordering an entree was a mistake because we couldn't finish the lamb shoulder. When the sides came out I thought they were on the small side but I was wrong, the sharing plate could feed 3 people.

The lamb was delicious but its hard to get excited about steak chips and creamed spinach. Didn't order dessert because we were too full. Overall an enjoyable dining experience, pity about the lack of service in such a nice restaurant.
