Generoso SantillanesJanuary 27, 2013Most Of The servers are From Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador. If you speak Spanish, use that to your advantage ;)
SerenityMarch 24, 2012Food was excellent! Crab cakes are definitely good as everyone says they are. Love this place!- KimJuly 4, 2011The crabcakes are the best and the fried oysters are orgasmic!!!. I don't get the deal with their mac n cheese however... I thought it was pretty bland. Stick to the seafood. Great stuff!
GlenJanuary 12, 2014Our server only allowed us to run 6 cards even though we had a party that took up a large portion of the place. He also kept rushing us to order more, but when we ordered, they would be out of it.
- Wow! Try the cauliflower (spicy) and Mac & Cheese (creamy)!
Matt JeffersAugust 11, 2015it was alright, maybe I should get the oysters next time.. the fries are nothing special and are kinda out of place among the rest of the menu

Russ PtacekJuly 25, 2013Beloved DC oyster bar ordered closed w/ health violations: no hot water, unclean kitchen areas, others. @wusa9. Passed reinspection/reopened.
Matt RobinsonMarch 13, 2012Get your oysters raw. The roasted ones the way they're prepared here are a great way to ruin an oyster.
LacosteDecember 5, 2011The lobster bisque. The lobster bisque. The lobster bisque. Do we need to say it again?

Jesse RingelApril 15, 2016Great food but service was very slow. And our glass of wine had a hair in it. They were very slow to replace it, without an apology.
TPWP GuideSeptember 11, 2011Scape the crowds & long waits by grabbing a seat at the marble cheese counter all the way in the back
McKee FloydJuly 17, 2011Try the BBQ oysters Hog Island style and a blood mary. Out of this world combo!
