Amazing service. I went with great friends and even though I couldn't eat much of the menu, our server was amazing and was very knowledgable and had great recommendations. Great beer and liquor selection!

This place never disappoints. I have been here a few times either because of a game at Audi Field or Nationals Park and every time the service is impeccable. The seafood always has a good ocean smell (not fishy) and they shuck those oysters fast. Other than that the chowder on a rainy day and the stuffies are a delight. Hush puppies too.

We went for NYE dinner, and were pleasantly surprised. The location is excellent. It's right on the water across from Nationals Park. They have massive outdoor seating area, which in warmer weather, I'm sure is the place to be.We had the four course NYE menu, which had many yummy seafood options as well as some non seafood options. It is advertised as an Oyster Bar, so I had to sample a couple of those and was not disappointed.The staff were all super friendly and helpfull. Based on this experience, I will be back to try their everyday menu.

This place is awesome. I'm pretty sure I've eaten everything on the menu at least once and have never had a bad (or even disappointing) dish. The "refined" take on new england classics works perfectly. It may sound odd considering seafood is their specialty, but if you have to pick only one thing to eat - go with the burger. Trust me.

Great staff! Building has incredible light and is warm and inviting. Varied menu never disappoints.

I'm sure the food is fine but when there are 69 people in your outdoor bar and the policy is still "go to the inside bar for service", you're really missing an opportunity to make an impression. Unless you like paying premiums for mediocre beers that you have to fetch yourself, in which case this place is for you. Nice views of the water.

Always order the Nashville soft shell crab if in season.

Brunch. Food was good, drinks too. patio seating is somewhat shaded and they have fans so take advantage of DC summer while you can. 4 stars because the person who brought food to our table decided to place the hot plates in our hands without mentioning they were hot. It was super weird. We asked why he wouldn't just place them on the table, he never responded.

Great raw bar and seafood restaurant with outdoor seating and bar. This modern upscale venue is great for meeting with friends for a drink and food. Stop in before a game and enjoy the boardwalk.

Great choice either for a nice dinner or for the outside bar with nice views of the water. The cocktails are real winners, as are the oyster "stuffies." I don't even like oysters, so there. The beer list was refreshingly different, with uncommon choices from familiar breweries.

Very impressed. Service was good and no nonsense. Cocktail Drinks were outstanding and an impressive whiskey list. The oysters were really very good and well complimented by their house made hot sauce. The lobster roll, while a little smaller than I had hoped for was outstanding as well. No complaints and i will definitely go again.

Fantastic food creative twists to known dishes as well as some originals you have to try. The Staff are fabulous, truly top notch and genuinely care..it shows.Located between the river and the ball park, the location cant be beat.

Cool spot. The Crab dip was super yummy, and so was the Cidre on tap. Intimate atmosphere that would be great for couples or friends.

Great spot to grab a drink on a sunny day outdoors in addition to being a great restaurant. Their outdoor spot has a great vibe and is even more fun when it’s not as hectic before a Nats game. Their indoor selection of seafood is excellent and their wait staff is very friendly! Oysters were great!!!

The fresh "dock-to-dish" oysters were incredible. Loved the sweet petites! For my entree, I went with the lobster roll which is served either buttered or dressed. I went with buttered and it was so good. Came with a fresh side salad. My boyfriend got the seafood stew and it was great too. Our server, Jon S, was attentive and knowledgeable. A great overall experience.
