    We enjoyed our dinner at Rappahannock. Service was attentive and friendly. Our server, Ray, was very engaging and she regularly checked back to see if we desired anything. We enjoyed octopus, ceviche, and the seafood gumbo. Everything was fresh and delicious. We had reservations for 6:30 on a Saturday, just before it became busy, but Ray was always at hand.

    Easy to make reservation via OpenTable, exceptional service, & excellent food. We had the Rappahannock oysters to start, then pan seared rock fish, & scallops. The oysters were tasty & not a grain of sand or grit (which is tough to do when it comes to oysters). The rock fish was prepared just right & didn't have a "fishy" taste. The scallops, like the oysters, didn't have any grit & tasted great. The only area for improvement, is that the tables are a bit too close together for my preference. I highly recommend Rappahannock, especially before a show at the Carpenter Center - which is why we were there.

    Great food - ceviche, mushroom risotto, scallops - all yummy. S’mores dessert also yummy. We had a nice seat at the front window. Happy hour crowd just steps away at the bar got increasingly louder as the evening went on, unfortunately, which made conversation challenging at times. Otherwise, a nice meal with good service.

    The food was absolutely stellar! Oysters [Insert a Chef's Kiss Here]. I got the Pork Chop, and my Fiancee got the Scallops - both prepared Perfectly. Our waitress, Katie, was absolutely phenomenal as well. We can't wait to come back again very soon!

    The food is fresh and delicious! The service is excellent and the staff is knowledgeable! While I do highly recommend eating here, I do think it’s a tad overpriced.
