Never Again. I came to Oyster Bar around 1:00AM, with the reasoning: How bad could it be? Coming back from Hakkasan, we were a little tipsy and a lot a bit hungry, so we reasoned that it'd be a great time to try to beat the line and get some Oyster Bar. Boy, were we wrong. The line was innocuous enough, only about 6 people ahead of us. Little did we know that at 1:00AM, the bar is basically full of wasted/trashed/smashed patrons who would take hours to finish their food. With only about a dozen seats available at the bar, it took absoltiutely forever for seats to clear up and parties to be seated, especially if it was a party of 4 or more. On top of that, it seemed like the bar was never made to accommodate so many people, and although all the pots were constantly cooking up gumbo or some other delicious dinner, the food itself took about 10-15 minutes to get served after ordering. When we finally got seated, the clock read 3:15AM, and only two out of my three companions stayed awake long enough to enjoy the food. We got one of everything on the menu, and everything was delicious. I wish I could write more about the quality of the food, but I honestly can't remember much after that wait. Just the taste of food and water finally reaching my mouth, as if I had been lost in the deserts of Nevada for days. The food was good, but i honestly can't imagine anything worth such a painful and tiring wait. And for the record, 1AM-5AM are not slow hours for them. I think the secret might be coming in around 6AM-8AM when party goers have finally headed to bed, and no one is willing to get up for breakfast.
