Food was outstanding. Excellent service. My only gripe is inside it is very loud, and the tables are squished close together. However, a fun and upbeat vibe. Perfect for a date night.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Instantly in My Top 10
Public Fish & Oyster in Charlottesville is the real deal. Happy hour hits hard with buttery lobster rolls, ultra-fresh oysters, perfectly seared tuna, and crispy calamari that’s next-level.
Impeccable service, flawless food — one of the best dining experiences I’ve had anywhere. Yes, that good.

Went to enjoy happy hour then stayed for entrees. Drinks were phenomenal, one of the best lobster rolls I've had. Nice selection of oysters served wonderfully chilled. The boil pot was enough for two and the deserts were divine! Definitely a place to take time and enjoy. We will be back.
