New oyster bar on tap for downtown BR

What the hell happened to Stroubes? They have gone downhill in the last year. I used to eat there a lot. So much of the menu has changed.

Now they going to own 3 restaurants that serve crap!

How long has the people who own Cap. City Grill been invovled?

Since it opened.

It has gone downhill since the chef left.

I would rather have Stroube's over that sodium induced Restaurant IPO

Isn't he now that guy making it?

Stroubes can suck my nuts. Got their $40 filet mignon one night, came out looking like a backyard sirloin. Got my fricking money back. Will never go back.

I wish Mr. Volland much success. Hopefully, it's not an "upscale" oyster bar. Frankly, I'm not going to break my arse getting downtown for the privilege of paying for high priced oysters. OK, maybe I'll give them try if they are consistently busy. There's nothing like eating east coast oysters that's been out of the water for two weeks.

It won't be fancy. And supposedly they will look to have 10-12 different variety of oysters at all times.

Sure man.

So a place that you're hoping isn't upscale, a place that you won't break your arse getting to, a place that you have the privilege of paying for high priced oysters, and a place that might be serving two week old oysters.

But Yea you signed up because you might be a potential customer....

That's why I commented, not why I signed up. I signed up to comment on the closing of Dempsey's on Jefferson Hwy., but new tigerdroppings' accounts aren't activated immediately and I had to wait.
"NOTE: You cannot post until after you verify your email address AND your user account is approved and activated by an admin.

During my wait, I changed my mind about commenting on the Dempsey's post and decided to comment on this one. I hope that clears things up for you, Jones. Your suspicions are understandable but unfounded.

But back on topic, I do hope Rick's oyster bar is successful. Considering it's downtown, where at times it appears like a ghost town, I would have picked a product that has a longer shelf life and wider appeal. Hopefully he'll have a brisk lunch crowd and busy Friday and Saturday nights that will ensure a steady supply of fresh oysters.
