We liked their food, however, they changed their menu and haven’t updated their online page yet. We went there particularly to eat Branzino but they stopped serving it years ago. We ordered different fish dishes and all of them were delicious.

It was good, presentation was good. The fried oysters were very sweet and delicious. The crab roll featured in the photo was ok. A little bit too much mayo for my taste. The appetizer salad was fresh but mediocre, not much toppings mainly romaine lettuce. ( however, this is my personal opinion. The next person may love it)

It was a beautiful restaurant and atmosphere, as well as a perfect day. The service was awesome, with all staff being very friendly and helpful. I was worried because, despite having a 1245 reservation, there was a 4pm Nats game and MPD was already towing cars parked on the street. I called and the response was very understanding, I immediately stopped worrying. Parking was the only issue there. The brunch menu isn’t huge, but I was there for the raw bar. The oysters were the some of the smallest I’ve had lately, but they were very tasty - I prefer 2 to 3 salinity oysters. There are featured oysters and those they usually carry. You can only order from the featured oysters, they reserve their staples until they run out of the features. My next adventure will be one of the seafood towers.
