"L’Oursin’s sister bar next-door has an identity all its own: a colorful and breezily social spot that serves Basque-inspired drinks (carajillo, Basque cider, armagnac-boosted kalimotxo, et al) along with playful and elegant bites from a tiny yet adroit kitchen. Just like L’Oursin, though, Bar Bayonne offers a featured variety of ultra-fresh and flawlessly shucked PNW oysters. That means that here you can get similar impeccable oyster service, but in a setting that’s casual enough to walk in for a dozen and a drink, while still stylish enough to be a date-night destination." - Mark DeJoy
