Independent Thinker, you are not alone! I live here and throughly enjoy Hurricane Oyster Bar. The oysters I had on Friday were completely tasteless...but the dollar Rolling Rock was delicious. I also asked the waitress where the oysters came from and was told they were from Texas. No one is knocking Hurricane Bar, IMO, and I am certainly not doing so. In defense of Independent Thinker, if we can't express an opinion regarding a bad experience at a favorite restaurant, what good is the "Dining and Food" thread?
