Gift Tips
- Bring a gift card for a date night — the small-plates format is perfect for sharing oysters, crudo, and a few cocktails between two people.
- Ask to sit at the bar when you arrive; you can watch the oyster shuckers and often get faster seating through Barnacle next door while you wait.
- Order a mix of raw and fried oysters to sample different textures — fried oysters and Cliff Point or Hoshi raw oysters are favorite choices.
- Try Ben’s bread with the salted butter as a simple, well-loved starter that pairs nicely with wine or a Negroni.
- Consider visiting during happy hour for better pricing on oysters and drinks if you want to stretch the value of a gift card.
- Try the oyster selection first, especially the Pacific oysters and other daily picks, since the menu often changes and the staff can help narrow down the flavors.
- Ask for help with ordering if you are new to oysters; the team is known for explaining the differences between sweet and briny varieties in a clear way.
