that place is probably my favorite in CS and might do well in some parts of Austin - but downtown? Best of luck to them - I do really enjoy their food. McCormick and Schmick just closed in the frost tower, but that doesnt seem right...
Last time I had oysters at McC and Shidt's. I projectile barfed on Brazos Street 45 minutes after I finished my last oyster. Also, got into some trouble after leaving there in '07.
I think people's fascination with it is that it was their first exposure to the baja taco concept, so they think its the greatest thing ever. It was good, but not THAT good.
