“ My best friend and I took our toddlers with us on a mommy date to Alexandria. I'm familiar with the area and had a craving for oysters. We chose this location because the atmosphere was friendly and they had a kids menu. Bestie and i started off with some drinks (Love Potion and Painkiller) an order of crab dip, and a half dozen Blue Point Oysters along with another half dozen of James River oysters. I prefer a smaller sized oyster so the Blue Points became my favorite. The girls had grilled cheeses and fries. Our next round was Blue Point and Chincoteague. For our entrees we had the seared scallops and the blackened salmon. We couldn't resist getting one more round of Chinoteagues before we left! So good! ”

“ Was looking for somewhere different. The perfect combo, whiskey and oysters. The ambience of this spot is chilled, lots of space with good music in the background. Our servers knew his stuff, provided good feedback on selection while making jokes at the same time. Let's talk food, everything was delicious. A few must haves. It's an oyster so of course the Oysters Rockefeller (you will order more) and the Grilled Oysters (my favorite chipotle bourbon). The Peel and eat shrimp outstanding. The Crispy Duck Spring Roll was good also if you're into duck. Main dish both on point, the Lobster Grilled Cheese (brings out the kid in any adult) and Connecticut lobster roll. This place is definitely one of my favorites and yes I will return. ”

“ Great location near the King Street metro with lots of outdoor seating. They have a fantastic happy hour (M-F 3-6pm ) bar menu filled with delicious options and enough for a meal for $10. Fish and chips, calamari, nachos. We ordered drinks and 2 dozen $1 oysters as well! $1 oysters are offered every 3rd Monday of the month. Our server Kevin was great! ”

“ A way to a woman's heart is through her stomach. I think that's how the saying goes. Whiskey & Oyster! Whoa! My significant other did it again! I over dressed so we tried to find dinner at MGM with no luck, three strikes and we were out, literally. Out of nowhere, my babe said I know where we are going, and off we went to Whiskey and Oyster. I'm sure glad we did! The pictures speak for themselves. Oysters Rockefeller were a hit! Really good! I ate mine and usually if I'm not a fan I'll eat one and be done. Not this time! My pasta dish was the best. I typically do not finish my meals but my clean plate was a testimony for this dish! It was so good this girl almost spoke in tongues on a Saturday. His lobster was too pretty, towards the end he offered a bite. That's his testimony of goodness because he usually shares right away. The drinks... My summer peach was fantastic! I usually don't go for seconds but my babe knew it was a hit and didn't ask he just ordered me another one. He loved his drink. He's a Manhattan guy so that was his pick! Overall this little gem is going to have to be put in my DMV fave bookmarks. Service was great! The hostess was a bit out of it but our server made up for it. No manager presence but it's only rated two dollar symbols so the expectation wasn't there for me for this place. (3 money symbols and yes I want to see a manager, it's proper etiquette) Overall, good, good! Quality food for a reasonable price. For that reason 5 stars! Ambiance is great! We sat outside with this nice weather! Perfect weather for outside dining in July. ”
