Seafood Restaurant · Logan Circle - Shaw · 125 tips and reviews

CassidyCassidy: Don't worry about waiting for a table - sit by the bar for some of the best service around. Wood grilled and Tchoupitoulas oysters, duck gumbo, and homemade bread rolls are all insanely good.

Washingtonian MagazineWashingtonian Magazine: Dishes are upscale enough to be worthy of leaving home for but not so much that they become precious. What to get: Oysters on the half shell; seafood-studded salsa; grilled bacon-wrapped oysters.

EaterEater: Grab a number and wait upstairs in the restaurant's sister bar Black Jack, slurping oysters and sampling the cocktail list. [Eater 38 Member]

Whitney M.Whitney May: The underbellies of the tables are covered in egg crate mattresses. Caress with caution.

Washington PostWashington Post: This Mexican playground from creator Jose Andres is a trailblazer. Thanks to recent expansion next door, it's also more comfortable than ever.

EaterEater: Authentic Mexican food is not one of DC's strengths, but José Andrés does it justice at Penn Quarter's Oyamel — with, of course, the chef's signature twists. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.
