You talking on the half shell? What makes Acme "meh"? Chimes "ok"? They're raw oysters...on a platter...probably a platter very similar to the platters used by other restuarants. What's the distinction?

Acmes are higher priced than just about everyone else, so in your logic if all things are equal, they should not be priced as such or have a better product
You have never gotten oysters that just seemed like they were attacked coming out of the shell? Never had any that were extremely gritty?
I definitely think there is a difference in quality from one place to the next

A dumb oyster shucker(bartender) can F up your oyster. But, in BR you're getting gulf oysters. Only diff is temp they keep them at and how fresh they are.
Places like Chimes goes through tons of oysters, so I know they aren't sitting in the cooler for 2 weeks before they found their way to me.
Chimes everyday happy hour oyster special is hard to be with a cold brew IMO.

the oyster special changed some, it went from 35c to half price, which is almost the same
its always been a special 4-7 everyday and all day tuesday
i think they are regular 9.00 a dozen

I had some pretty good chargrilled at Mike Anderson's a few months back, but can't remember if they run a special on them too.

Gimme a couple dozen raw ones and a draft Racer 5, or if really lucky a Ruination IPA....Damn hard to beat!

Parrain's are good,
Parrains are half price on Tuesdays. If you plan on sitting in the bar, get there early because the place gets packed quick.

Drusilla seafood is the best raw oysters imo
