GT has a very clean and modern look while simultaneously reminding you of a restaurant on a seaside harbor. Hostess was pleasant and polite and immediately led us to a great table with a wrapping banquet. Had to be the best seat in the restaurant, so that was some good luck there. Service started with a support staff member greeting us for water, and our server arriving at the table afterwards for a quick run down of the menu and to take our drink order. Menu explanations were quick and simple and there was no fumbling into a server book for information. Eye contact. After explaining the style of food and dishes and answering a quick couple questions we placed an order. Tried one of each oyster some of which i was familiar with, 3 east coast and 3 west coast. All were delicious and carefully shucked. Mignonette lacked flavor just a little, but I am a fan of eating oysters straight up. Tuna poke was very good. The oyster po boy slider, which is very small and was only about 3 bites, was one of the best little nuggets of food I have had recently. Kimchee, fried oyster, peanuts...great balance of sweet, salty, and acidity. Bread soft and delicious...great little small plate. Lobster mac and cheese was good, but could have had a little more of a chive or herb presence, and more of a lobster taste to it. Pasta a bit over cooked but again it was good. Also had the mussels which were good, very fresh, and it was nice to not have to ask the kitchen for extra bread. All too often that is the case (bread is the cheapest thing on the plate why not make sure three is enough?).
As stated food was very solid but what made this place was the service, and every team member was providing the same quality and consistency. All were informative, polite, quick and on the ball, and maintained the table with a lot of care.
Try GT Fish and Oyster for one of the best Seafood restaurants around and EXCELLENT service.
