Great HH, very relaxed atmosphere (a welcome change from stuffy DC spots) with high quality food.

Pretty disappointing experience. Food was small portions and over priced. I ordered a crab cake and it was average, definitely nothing special and was not worth the price. Overall the food was disappointing and I was still hungry afterwards. Would not recommend if you're looking for good seafood.

Awesome! We’ve been here many times and it’s always great. Nancy and Johnny are the best!

My go-to place for warm welcome and spectacular food. Congratulations to Ann Cashion for her nomination as outstanding chef for the James Beard award. Way to go!

This is going to sound weird but literally the best lemonade I've ever had. The bartenders are really friendly or shoes are good fairly pricey if you don't go during happy hour but I feel like that's everywhere that sells oysters Fry's could be better but overall really good food definitely a salad choice

Excellent food and service. The lobster is so good.

Nancy was the best! She really made sure that we had all the knowledge and anything we needed. If you go, ask for her and get the oysters. You won't be sorry.

Service was lovely, drinks were incredible and the food was delicious! From oysters to rabbit and finished with scallops and chocolate angel food cake. A new favorite when we are in the area.
