Went to Fortes yesterday, so far my best DO (Thanks to the reviews on RS )
Chowder was good, very hearty and full of seafood!
Fresh Oysters, the ones that came with the DO were mediocre. I had to get another order on the side to curb my oyster craving! Kusshi and Malpeque, those were delicious! (but damn expensive, $20 for 6pcs?! )

Steak & Shrimp - Pretty in par with what I expected, but I've ate at Hy's & Players Chophouse last week so it's difficult to say I was impressed by this steak!
Albacore Tuna - Not bad, good flavouring with 3 cheese jumbo macaroni which was just saucy enough for every piece but not overflowing nor dry

Creme Brulee - Standard fare, but noticeably more creamy and rich than other places, not to sweet, good stuff.
Lava Cake - Was kinda hard, not moist and soft enough, ice cream was good!

Our server was great as well! Friendly and timed everything perfectly!

8/10 (dock a mark for super expensive oysters haha I also buy/sell oysters so I know they make a killing on oyster profits! Ebisu has'em at a $14 per DOZEN. It doesn't take any more skill than the next person to shuck'em yet they charge 3x more per oyster! gosh!)
