Rappahannock Oyster Bar

I had An unfortunate experience at this oyter bar two days ago. The “fresh oysters” me and my table ordered were served with cloudy liquid and a slight yellow color. Extremely questionable but we did not make a deal of it. Once I waved down my server he explained that they were fresh as they can be. But as I decide to use the restroom, I walk by the oyster bar.. which is full of Flies! Flies where laying straight on all the oysters and no one had been taking any measures to protect the produce. When speaking to the manager he blamed it on a neighboring business. Which doesn’t solve the problem in keeping fresh produce, safe for customers to consume. Working in the industry for nearly 20 years, it’s sad to see businesses care less for the produce and their guests. I will be back and hoping they have made changes into their food handling practices.

Amazing food! Not just oysters! Great cocktails! Superb service! Excellent ambiance! Parking is validated for the adjacent parking structure.

I thoroughly enjoyed the steak aguachile! One of the tastiest dishes I’ve ever had. The steak is thin sliced and marinated in lime juice. It’s not terribly spicy so I loved it! Superbly delicious!

The lobster rolls are pretty good too and the raw oysters are good as well.

Yummy beignets!

Their cocktails are great and averagely priced. I had a mezcal mule.

Service is fast, friendly and cool!

I loved the lively ambiance! They played great rock and pop en español!

I don't know why this place would have brunch being that it's an oyster bar. But I don't eat oysters so maybe I just don't have a proper understanding of what's going on. But they have brunch and it's good from what I remember.

Went here to ask for a some ice because my friend bit her tongue and needed it to stop the profuse bleeding. The waitress there (black straight hair, looked like a manager/waitress) gave us a HUGE bag of ice. I felt bad for taking too much ice especially at an Oyster Bar, so I said it was okay, and thank you but just a small cup would be perfect but the OUT OF NO WHERE she started lashing out and saying “Just take it and go man !! We were trying to be nice and help you but you’re asking too much. Throw it out or something! ” in an extremely rude and disrespectful way. I understand if they were busy and wanted to refuse us, but it should’ve atleast been done in a polite manner because we were nothing but polite. PS the restaurant had like 2 customers and looked extremely empty! It costs nothing to be nice and respectful. I would expect a nicer restaurant to at least have better service than a waitress that starts lashing out at strangers over a simple favor.

Pretty average overall. Sadly oysters were not shucked well, found pieces of shell in most of them

I was craving oysters and this place did not disappoint. The food was very good, but the staff are a little flat in energy. I loved the seating and the openness of the atmosphere. I highly recommend coming here whenever you have a seafood craving!

The wait staff was great, the meal was great. We were there for my wife’s birthday. Their dessert was limited and my wife wanted gelato. As we were leaving I asked the general manager if he knew a gelato place near by and instead of just saying “No, I don’t.” He gave me such a snooty answer, “I don’t have all the menus of the restaurants around here memorized. “ Perhaps I wasn’t in shape enough or my fashion sense wasn’t to his liking, I’m older and dress conservatively, or he is just a very poor representative of the restaurant. Left a bad taste in my mouth. The owners need to check him because he drives business away.

Julio was a great server. We started with six oysters—non-briny, then lobster tacos, lobster roll and kale salad. the food was excellent. I was surprised that a kale salad tasted so good. Food was a Great value. Service was excellent.
