Saltaire Oyster Kitchen - Port Chester

We have dined there several times and enjoyed our meals.

It was really great, a little too noisy for trying to get to know another couple but we managed...

Monday night must be a slow time, waiter not very attentive. Ordered drinks and never came back to ask if we wanted anything else. Would have ordered a bottle of wine but was never asked. And this was a special birthday for us.

Unpolished and unwelcoming service. I was meeting a group of friends for dinner but arrived a bit early and decided to have a drink at the bar. There were no open seats available so I ordered a drink and asked one of the staff if I could sit at one of the high tops next to the bar. He said ok so I waited there. The hostess came over with an accusing look and informed me that I could not sit there because that table is for customers who are ordering food and drink. Pardon me, but why do you assume I am not ordering food? It was happy hour...did you think to perhaps offer a menu instead of asking me to leave? When I explained that there were clearly no seats at the bar and asked where she expected me to have my drink, she coolly replied, well, you could wait until a space becomes available. So, I should just stand in the middle of the restaurant with no where to sit? This woman must have repeated, It 's our policy...blah blah blah half a dozen times. It 's your policy to ask a customer to vacate a table when she has placed an order, when there are multiple empty tables? Really awful, disgusting behavior. Not sure if I was bizarrely singled out this way or it really is their (bad) policy, but really, they should learn to treat customers with a little more respect.

Esta foi a nossa segunda visita a Saltwater Grill. A comida era deliciosa e o serviço incomparável. Certamente jantaremos aqui novamente na nossa próxima visita a Galveston.
