When presenting the menu, what should be highlighted about oysters?

• A. Highlight Oysters (2 selections)
• B. Oysters are not mentioned
• C. Only mention the price
• D. Avoid oysters due to shellfish allergies

Answer: (A)

Highlighting oysters when you present the menu signals that there are two distinct oyster selections to consider, making it easy for guests to compare styles, regions, and prices at a glance. This draws attention to a feature item and helps guests decide more quickly, while also giving the server a natural cue to describe differences and offer pairings. The other options miss the value of presenting options and flavor notes together (not mentioning oysters omits the choice, mentioning only price strips away context, and avoiding oysters entirely ignores that guests may want or inquire about them—all while still needing to manage allergens safely).
