A little confused when we arrived, but the bartender/greeter/waiter/photographer had everything managed. Took a while, but he brought drinks out to us and the other guests while we waited. He was very much bang, bang, bang. As in 'they are leaving, your table will be ready in one minute, your table is ready, you sit here' but for 6 different groups all at once. It was pretty intense how well organized he maintained the chaos. That was just the greeting.
Girlfriend loves oysters. She got a dozen mixed variety (5 types and they were explained to her). I tried a couple, my first, and they were good. Didn't care for the vinaigrette they provided with it. She also got the clam chowder. It was great. I got the tuna burger. It was great. They served it with some not so great chips. So if any complaints it would be that. That restaurant seems better than that.
It's a small establishment. We went on the day before Valentine's and during a wild life festival so everything was expected to be packed. There was always a consistent wait. Our waiter not very available (just enough where it could be good that he wasn't in our business or bad that he wasn't available at a moment's notice).
Overall, this was a FANTASTIC restaurant that set the tone for the rest of the night.
