10/10 service 10/10 food 10/10 atmosphere 10/10 value per item I’m so glad I found this place! I really like having oysters during the colder months and don’t feel like driving to either Alexandria or DC for oysters so I’m glad this establishment was pretty local. The customer service and hospitality was top notch, everyone was so friendly and knowledgeable about the food items and didn’t hesitate to explain to me the different types of oysters and their distinct flavors. I had Bevan, Spinney Creek, and West Point (?) NY oysters and they were all so good! The chef also gave me extra (she put a dozen) when it was supposed to be half dozen. I’m so glad and appreciative of all the staff that was working today in that restaurant. In addition to this, the smash burger and white wine mussel was

The food was delicious. We had two dozen raw oysters and they were very fresh and they offered a wide variety. They also have many different happy hours at different days . Sunday they have 1 dollar oysters. This will be my new oyster go to location. We also had some appetizers and they was very good also. Nice beer selection.

Amazing and fresh oysters! My sister and I sat at the bar and ordered a dozen oysters while we waited for our takeout order. Bartenders Jim and Brian were amazing, friendly, and great service! From our takeout order, we ordered a bunch of appetizers, our favorite were the fried calamari and clam chowder soup. Definitely will be back.

Came here based on good reviews and their Happy Hour oysters. Stayed for the great service and hometown feel. Who knew that Fairfax could ever exude a Cape Cod vibe. The food was hot and from scratch and the oysters were the freshest I’ve had this far from the coast. If you like smooth music combined with craft cocktails you’ve found your jam. The wine list is surprisingly complex too. Our bartender Duncan was the bomb!

I went for the raw oysters and clam chowder neither disappointed! The service was excellent, everyone was very friendly and were very nice to my lactose allergic friend and were able to confirm without complaint if certain dishes were lactose free. Also they have happy hour with drink specials, brunch and 2.00 oyster options.
