The selection and flavor of the oysters was amazing as well as the attentive staff. The music here is appropriate for the crowd and not too loud. Great selection at the bar including a selection of Pappy to which we had the 15-year. As none of our oyster bars in DC have failed to impress, this will be the one that we make a second visit before we leave.

There is a lot of great choices on the menu. The atmosphere of the restaurant was quiet (mostly because we dined on a holiday, but I am certain if we dined on a normal day it would’ve been lively and energetic). Our server was wonderful, and the food was great. The pizzas are great to share among 2 people as they are individual pizzas with 6 sizeable slices. The pastas a generous portion and fit the price. They do add gratuity (tip) to the bill & leave you the option to add more. Overall the experience was wonderful and I would recommend and go again.
