The front shows the interior of a warmly wood-paneled oyster bar with a long curved counter and shiny metal kitchen equipment. Nautical decor fills the room, including ship models, framed pictures, plates, and a small American flag. A decorative mermaid-style figure is mounted near the counter in the foreground. The card is undated.
