Small Change Oyster Bar is a "fancy casual" spot known for its fresh oysters and seafood. The oysters are consistently praised for being fresh and delicious, often enjoyed with sparkling wine or wine. The menu also includes dishes like fish and chips, shrimp cocktail, halibut crudo, chowder, and bread with cultured butter, all noted for their quality and flavor. The outdoor patio offers a pleasant setting with plenty of space and heaters for colder days. The staff is friendly and attentive, providing helpful service. While the counter service and self-busing are convenient, some find the expectation of tipping 20% and managing full dish containers a bit frustrating. Overall, Small Change Oyster Bar is a popular choice for seafood lovers seeking a relaxed yet refined experience.
