    This is the best restaurant in the area that no one has ever heard of. I ask people in my neighborhood NW Kent neighborhood if they have been there. The response we have never heard of it. The happy hour 7 days a week is over the top and the food is exceptional. Most drinks $5 and most dishes $5-7. Your marketing team needs to do a much better job promoting NW DC King Street Otsters on Ridge Rd just off Wisconsin next to Wegmans. We entertained 9 guests for brunch there yesterday. Everyone had drinks and a full entre with large order of oysters. Total bill with tax was $450. Best Buy in town.

    Excellent fish and chips, with generous portions. A grilled salmon club sandwich on a brioche roll was delicious, with the salmon cooked exactly as I ordered - medium rare. Service was prompt and friendly. This is the second time we have visited and we will be going back again.

    Our male waiters were excellent. The waitress was unhelpful and arrogant. All she did was puah us to drink more liquor. The noise level was slightly improved after we moved to another table, but was still too loud for a pleasant evening. I had requested a quiet table when I made the reservation, but no one paid any attention to this request. The food was excellent, but the loud noise plus the unfriendly waitress ruined the ambiance for me. Suggest you install some noise reducing room dividers. It's annoying to have to yell at your dining companions to be heard!

    Very good oysters, little neck clams and jambalaya. Good service and quiet. At happy hour, oysters are 1$ a piece.

    The food is good, but the shortage of staff made for an uncomfortable dinner. Despite the lack of other waiters/waitresses, our waitress was very pleasant and I felt very sorry for her because she had so many tables to handle.
