I had the shrimp with pimento cheese grit cakes 😳 All I can say is AAAMAZING! Crab dip appetizer was awesome as well!
Food is always great - no matter what you try. Service is good too. Try the crab cakes and the oysters!
Oysters, crab cake and lobster pie are great. Good service and reasonable selection of wines.
Oysters should obviously be the first thing on your to-try list - especially chef Jamie Leeds own varietal of oyster, the Hayden's Reef. Try the lobster rolls, po' boys, and crab cakes too..
Happy hour prices have increased a bit compared to 2014: drinks for $5 and oysters for $1.25/each. Anyway, oysters are more than awesome, and Chesapeake are the best here!
Happy hour from 5 to 7 pm and from 10 pm to midnight features great discounts for raw bar items (oysters, mussels, shrimps) and a selection of beer and wines.
Delicious oysters! Restaurant had an energetic vibe.
Delicious oysters. The woodgrilled oysters with garlic and chile are phenomenal. Love the sustainable oyster concept. Too bad it's soooo noisy, you have to scream to your mess mates 😖Bad acoustics.
Happy hour, oysters, great setting.
Don't go on a Monday. Get the blue cheese mussels and ask the server to recommend a beer you've never had.
Go during the week or plan lots of time on the weekend. My favorite is an order of Moroccan mussels with a Saison Dupont.
They open at 5pm. I would recommend arriving then, grabbing a seat at the bar and ordering one of their random selections on tap. Great beer selection & mussels. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more.
Mussels are the best I ever had. Ask for more bread. Owners seem like good people.
Great bar! Mussels in cast iron pots are outrageous; wide variety, cheap prices. Great Belgian beer selection
I really enjoyed the mussels and frites. Fries were fried perfectly. Just wish they had curry ketchup.
The Crab soup, brussel sprouts/ bacon, surf & turf ( filet mignon and lobster), pecan pie and crab cakes are excellent.
Amazing food, friendly staff and great vibes. Crab, fresh oysters and steak are a must.
Madagascar Shrimp hands down ! Just wow!
Truly the most exquisite service I have had in DC. The mocktails are refreshing, lobster ravioli to die for and dessert-- save room for the sweets! A+ experience
It's great dinner spot! Warm and cozy areas for both dining and meeting for a cocktail. The service is excellent from valet to the busboys. The food was amazing; I highly recommend the lobster ravioli
Very yummy lobster and crab salad and sautéed spinach. Good service.
The crab cakes are SO good, especially on the Eggs Chesapeake. Good Bloody Marys too, nice and spicy! Service is also very friendly.
good choice of half bottles (Trimbach Alsace Riesling): best bet: half price wine by the bottle Sundays after 5 - favourite dishes: their signature Crabtower, Crabcakes,and burgers; great Happy Hour
Crab cakes are fantastic, salmon burger is delicious, catfish sandwich is gross.
Awesome oysters. Great fish selection and not bad happy hour!
Seafood in unreal here, try the crab cakes and oysters. Apps are the way to go!
Shrimp cocktail, crab cakes, Oysters Rockefeller, Provençal seafood stew, wood grilled cheeseburger, onion straws clam chowder, ice cream, shrimp and grits, breads, butterscotch pot de creme
The Lobster roll is awesome. Just be ready to stand if you plan on eating there, super tiny place with like 4 spots to sit. Very good food though.
Get the Noah's ark or taste or Maine and try all three rolls. Also the lobster bisque is to die for!
Ask for a table near the bustling, open kitchen, and watch the expert French chefs create your luscious lobster burger or hanger steak with the city's best frites.
The Cheese Puffs, Lobster Burger and Fried Chicken with Mashed Potato are a must have...so good!!!!!!
Best bets: lobster and tuna burgers in addition to the beef standard. The fried chicken is also incredible. Read more.
Fun place for a weeknight dinner with friends. The mussels and country pate are fantastic here as well as the steak frite. Try them with a glass of the Beaujolais.
You can never go wrong Le Steak Mason, Catalanes, duck and most of the food menu are great. One of the best mussels in town
A cozy French restaurant with tasty food. Don't miss the wide variety of mussels!
Get some fresh crabs and steam them at the wharf for free! Read more.
Best crabs!!
Jumbo crabs legs are the best!
Great place to get whole fish, filets, clams, oysters, squid, crabs, scallops without paying the ridiculous grocery/restaurant prices. I would suggest going early, there's less lines, less fish scent.
Great service. Great food! The lobster ravioli is amazing. Arturo, the waiter made our evening so special. Thank you!
Get The lobster ravioli ..
Try the lobster ravioli! Ah-mazing!
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
