Perhaps my expectations were too high - in any case, our wedding anniversary dinner at B&G oysters was more basic than expected. The oyster selection was impressive but at $3 an oyster or littleneck clam, it should be. 
We were given an amuse bouche - yellowtail tartare and beet (pictured). Paul had the lobster dish (pictured) with spinach and parsnip with cauliflower. I had a tasty lobster pasta dish - a special for that day. Our pistachio creme brulee was a disaster though - straight from the fridge. Even with the sugar caramelized with a blowtorch, the brulee was lukewarm but the bottom of the ceramic dish was still cold. We asked the kitchen for another warmer version but was told it was not possible so ended up ordering the caramel sundae. Snow and -5 degrees celsius outside and B&G Oysters had no warm desserts!!!
