My
evening
at
this
restaurant
was
a
rollercoaster
of
experiences,
and
I'm
keen
to
share
every
detail
with
you.
My
long-awaited
late-night
date
here
was
something
I
had
been
anticipating
for
ages,
having
marked
this
spot
on
my
list
quite
some
time
ago.
Living
in
Long
Island,
I
always
hope
for
a
seamless
dining
experience,
especially
given
the
travel
involved.
Our
arrival
on
a
busy
Saturday
night
was
met
with
the
news
of
a
fully
booked
venue
and
a
staggering
wait
time
of
a
couple
of
hours,
despite
visibly
available
tables
and
bar
seats.
Although
discouraged
by
this
and
the
unusual
policy
of
not
being
allowed
to
wait
at
the
bar,
we
decided
not
to
give
up
and
headed
to
order
a
drink.
Here,
we
encountered
John,
the
bartender,
whose
behavior
was
less
than
professional,
to
say
the
least.
Refusing
to
let
this
ruin
our
night,
I
took
matters
into
my
own
hands.
I
found
and
booked
an
open
reservation
online,
then
approached
the
manager,
Gloria.
This
marked
a
significant
turn
in
our
experience.
Gloria
was
understanding
and
swiftly
addressed
our
situation,
offering
us
wine
while
we
waited
for
our
table,
which
was
quickly
prepared.
From
that
point
on,
the
service
was
impeccable.
The
oysters
and
clams
were
exceptional,
the
drinks
delightful,
and
the
lobster
roll
and
sashimi
were
top-notch.
A
special
thanks
to
the
waitstaff
and
Gloria
for
showcasing
the
true
quality
of
this
restaurant.
While
the
initial
interaction
with
the
hostess
and
John
was
deeply
disappointing,
Gloria's
intervention
salvaged
our
evening.
I
highly
recommend
trying
the
food
and
wine
here.
Despite
the
rocky
start,
the
quality
of
the
meal
and
the
latter
part
of
our
experience
are
reasons
enough
to
visit.
