There was something in the air that caused some of the mis-steps at the restaurant. Our vodka tonics didn't have tonic, the lobster arrived without the appropriate lobster cracker and we had to wait for over 20 minutes for our entrees. We give high praise to the lobster dinner & the lobster roll. The raw oyster appretizer was shucked properly and was tasty. We've been to the Tun House on many occassions & this was the first time things were off kilter.
