I LOVE this place! One of the BEST places for oysters in DC. My only wish...not even complaint...is they would consider fine tuning some of their items to be gluten free. For example they have a corn meal crusted oyster ...that has regular flour - WHY? Just make it with corn meal. And they have potato latkes at brunch...but they use flour - WHY? Just use potatoes! There are other options but very simple changes would open up their menu to us GF people significantly. See y'all soon!

Great service as always and food was great! Would be nice to have a couple more non fish/shellfish items on the menu given the allergy I have but the food is amazing none the less. Really appreciated the birthday dessert as well!
