Food is always excellent and service is terrific. It is quite a loud space and it is sometimes difficult to hear anything, including basic conversation. But it remains one of my favorite spots in Virginia!
Love this restaurant gem! We stumbled upon it in 2020 and thankfully made our way back recently. So thankful we did! The drinks are top notch- and the bartender knows how to work a room! We loved the oysters last time, and this time they were even better. Delicious Lobster bisque, fries, everything! You can’t go wrong. Inside is packed and can be loud (understandably) so we were grateful for an outside table.
Where do I even start.
John our bartender was phenomenal!
The oysters were so fresh it was unreal.
Drinks were amazing.
We will definitely be back whenever we are in the area!
