Rappahannock Oyster Bar

Went with a friend to try the oysters for happy hour and they were so wonderfully tasty. After speaking with the staff we understood that this is an oyster company with 3 different farms in various locations producing both fresh and salt water. Oysters. We sampled 12 and were so pleased we ordered 12 more. The happy hour (4-6pm) price was $2 each which we thought was a great price. Greg our bartender friendly and helpful. You can find their restaurants in various locations including in Charleston SC Richmond VA, and even at Dulles airport at Concourse B near gate B 37. I enjoyed the freshness and different varieties available. We will be back.

Came here on a weeknight with coworkers during a work trip. They said the crab cake was gluten free but I’m unsure if it really was since I had digestive issues after. The shrimp were good but didn’t seem the freshest. The server was great and we had the outdoor dining area to ourselves. They had heaters but was still pretty cold so dress accordingly.

atmosphere is so good to look at the wharf and enjoy the breeze in the fall. Portion was generally on the smaller size but that’s typical of seafood restaurants. Server was quick to help us. Had a great meal here!

Enjoyed a late afternoon appetizer on the wharf, al fresco on a splendid January afternoon. 1/2 dozen oysters and 2 drinks. Nice atmosphere but a bit overpriced. ($60 for 6 oysters a draft beer and a cocktail.) Nice cocktail selection.

Every single dish was delicious. The Chesapeake raw oysters were amazing. Enjoyed the oysters Rockefeller, mussel pasta which my partner said was one of the best sauces he has ever tasted, and the crab cake was one of the largest I had which I partner enjoyed and he normally doesn’t like crab cakes. Great wine and ambiance.
