Interesting is an understatement on the crabmeat. Its awesome. Its like adding bacon to almost anything. Your cholesterol may end up sky high from the butter, parmesan, and crabmeat bu it is worth every bit. Take a round of the bread and make a canapé with the oyster and crab and dip the bottom of the bread in the leftover juice in the shell. Man I wanna go back to work and grab a dozen before I call it a night (they're closed BTW).

Nah, you could use a little fine tuning. Maybe finishing school?
It's all about etiquette and good manners.
You'll get it one day.
Cheers, mate.

I finished school and got the degrees to prove it.

Mansur's chargrilled oysters are my favorite by a lot, though I haven't had Drago's, mainly because the rest of the menu doesn't interest me.
I will admit that I no longer order anything with crabmeat at Mansur's having had several disappointing experiences. I've ordered the eggplant camellia a number of times and each time, the crabmeat is white or badly done lump, though it has never resembled lump to me. A few times, it had clearly been previously frozen which is not worth eating, to me, and an abundance of shells. Tried the seafood stuffed mushrooms as an alternative and didn't care for them either, so I stick with the oysters and a fish dish, which is always done very well. I'm a very picky crabmeat eater. I love it, but I don't like frozen and I don't like white or a lot of shells. Jumbo lump or claw is pretty much all I'll eat. Some folks don't mind it frozen or shredded. Just not my preference. There are plenty of other things for me to eat and enjoy there, so I'm not complaining but giving my preference.
Service is always fine and the people are always nice and the bar makes me wonderful Brandy Alexander to go so I can enjoy it in my jammies to top off the night. I'm a happy customer.

Let me get this straight...
You have what you consider to be a bad experience at a local restaurant, then come here expecting everyone to agree with your side of the story.
Then, when we don't, you fight tooth and nail for your position, and completely dismiss any opposing viewpoint. You have come off as childish, petulant, arrogant, and sad.
Did you ever think that those who have responded actually know what they're talking about, and that your MULTITUDE of friends are nothing but figments of your over zealous imagination trying to hold on to the $2.50 worth of dignity you still have?

There's a spice or flavor in the chargrilled oysters that I've never quite been able to put my finger on. I never remember to ask. Aside from the butter and parmesan, what else is in the concoction?

Nice summary, Rum Tiger.
Can I call you that? It was the name of my friend's cat when we were kids.

I can promise the crabmeat should not be frozen, ever. It stays in the protein cooler. One thing the kitchen may do occasionally is over handle the crab breaking it into pieces when looking for shell, but its really tedious to get every shell. Problem is they break it up into some stringy pieces with some nice lump meat left in it. I have seen some really bad examples where someone ended up with too many shells in their food. However, the crab on the oysters is lump meat, not jumbo though. They could show it to you right there at the station. Really worth the extra money.

I haven't dismissed their point of view I have agreed with them on somethings. So I am the only person on here supposedly acting childish, petulant, arrogant?

Did you ever stop to think I know what I am talking about. Don't think so. Its no so much the $2.50 but more the principal of it I am going to a restaurant and dropping at least a C-note etc. Hey come on my dignity is worth at least $3.50

You sir, have been thoroughly dismantled and destroyed in this thread.
I just read through all the pages. Nice entertainment.
I have one question though. What kind of cake was it that yall brought?

How old are you, my friend?
Youth and inexperience is the only plausible explanation.

Thanks. I'll consider trying it again. I haven't ordered anything with crabmeat in the last few years. Perhaps things changed.
I don't like picking through small lump crabmeat, myself, so I don't buy it. It's easier to deal with jumbo lump, though more expensive, of course. Like I said, I'm very picky with crabmeat, so I don't set myself up for disappointmen and there are other things on the menu that I enjoy, so I'm good.

Thats a secretly guarded recipe lol. We will give the modified version with your standard tobacco/LA Hot Sauce but a good chef/restaurant never gives away everything. 
If interested we could sell some sauce if you wanted to do some at your own place one night. Some people want the fresh Oysters and everything which is a pain to shuck. Some will get some shells and buy pasteurized ones in a container and do it that way.

You've admitted that you dont know anything about the restaurant business, so it's patently obvious you don't know what you're talking about.
Hey, sometimes you're the windshield, and sometimes you're the bug. Tonight, you were a baby seal in the jaws of a great white.
I hope the cake was good. My personal favorite is chocolate on chocolate, but sometimes you have to pay extra for that, so I doubt you've had it.

Just when I thought you knew what you were getting it...
It didn't take more than reading your posts and your followup comments to determine that you do not.
What did you get for that C-note? How many people did that C-note feed in a nice restaurant? Were drinks and apps involved? Does it include tax and tip?
