Jeffersons in Summerville

It's news in this town when a growing restaurant chain opens in downtown and a lot of locals have already been to Jefferson's this week to check out it out.
I went Monday and Tuesday.
Monday was not a good experience. I ordered a dozen raw aysters and waited 42 minutes only to then be told by the waitress that they were out of oysters. I was an unhappy young man and explained as much to her. She apologized profusely, but didn't bother to offer any kind of make-good. I did not carp to the manager, writing it off as a rookie waitress learning the ropes.
I switched my order to 15 peel and eat shrimp. They came out quickly and when given a few minutes to chill on ice they were quite good. At $6.99 they were a pretty good deal.
I also ordered a side salad which was disappointing to me because I like my salads "gardeny," not so much with croutons, cheese, bacon, etc. By the time I got to the lettuce, there just wasn't enough there to justify the $2.99 cost. I'd like to see them serve salads in bigger dishes and put in more lettuce.
The beer looked very, very good but as I am now on the wagon I did not partake other than to sniff the pitchers as they went by our table.
On Tuesday I went in at 3 a.m. and the crowd was much smaller than the packed previous visit. My waitress was excellent, as well as cute, and she brought me a dozen delicious oysters at the special price of 50 cents per oyster. (I hope this is a regular special.) I tried the salad again and asked them to hold the toppings and give me a lot of lettuce, but it didn't work. There may have been a few more leafs of the green stuff in there, but not enough to justify the price.
My second day trip was a pleasant experience and I spoke briefly with the owner, who I had interviewed several months earlier.
Overall, I like the look of Jefferson's quite a bit. My low sodium diet eliminates a lot of the menu for me, but for you normal people there should be plenty of options. The wings look like a winning item and the oysters and shrimp are a great change of pace for the local dining scene.
I would defintely recommend you try the joint out and give them more than one shot if your first visit doesn't sparkle. The menu is worth exploring and the cost is reasonable compared to most towns, though the locals will grumble, as always, about paying prices people in other towns don't blink at.
I hope Jefferson's is a back success.
