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.

The server was really nice and mannerable although it took a while to receive our meal. The food was so so; my Salmon and Broccoli were overcooked, which was a bummer! So, I probably won't be back for a while.
