Went for Happy Hour. Many experiences bode well. Cold crisp Pinot Grigio at only $5 for a generous glass, energetic server who mentioned a first-timer perk (delicious warm edamame in soy based sauce), delicious and crispy fried calamari appetizer (free with Yelp check-in) in lovely outdoor patio. Big plump Pacific oysters for $1 each--best sweet sour mignonette I've ever tasted--a tad sweet.
Now the down side...all of which seem to reflect mostly inexperience and need for a bit more training and attention from the leadership. The server should be able to be clear and specific about the source of oysters. I usually give them the sniff test before I consume a raw oyster. There was a bit too much "fishy smell" -- not so much that I was worried they were not edible, but it overpowered the normally sweet smell and taste of the sea I like to have. Maybe ordering raw oysters on a Monday was a bad idea. I ordered clams in traditional broth but got mussels (which were tasty so I didn't send them back). The server, a wonderfully nice guy, had to be reminded to subtract the calamari and edamame charge, and pronounced the sauce marionette. :). Nothing heinous and all easily corrected with some better training and management engagement.
Definitely worth a second visit!
