Liberty Kitchen & Oyster Bar

It's amazing how looks can be deceiving. Food can be made to look and play the part of the delicious and delectable star of the show, but can turn out to be a disappointing and uninspired performance. The analogy might apply to Liberty Kitchen. The Yelp pictures dazzled me. The mounds of mac and cheese and the heaping bowls of gumbo drew me in. Alas, only the oysters stood out.
Crazy Roasted Gulf Oysters
I am always a little hesitant to order cooked oysters. I figure that only the least fresh and least desirable oysters are left to be cooked, while the best are eaten fresh and raw.

garlic, lemon butter
To my surprised, these were actually really tasty. The herbs and lemon added the brightness you normally expect when indulging in these oceanic delights.

bacon jam, butter, jalapeño
The Annoyer (formerly known as BHD) liked the savory sweetness from the bacon jam in this one. It was too sweet for my liking. Both had nicely cooked oysters that weren't lost in the crunchy batter.
