What People Are Saying
from Google"Been here several times and glad they are in Bethesda, MD. Main focus of this restaurant is seafood but they do have some non-seafood dishes. If you want to splurge, I do like their seafood towers. It is pricey, but I think so worth it. You get so much seafood. It includes lobster tails, crab claws, lobster and crab meats, tuna, mussels, clams and oysters. Other standouts are the coddies, crab dip, branzino and lobster rolls. I like their cocktail menu and enjoyed the Stirred 8 and their G&T. They do have happy hour specials as well."
"Another great Bethesda find. Fresher than fresh oysters and bartenders that make whiskey shine. You should try a range of different oysters to see what you like and then go back and get more of your favorite. Also recommend the house cocktail the Stirred 8. A perfectly balanced blend by master mixologist Ahmad. There was a little fishy smell by the bar but that could just be related to air movement and weather."
"Stopped in here for a quick drink and oysters. Place is designed with 20s-fashion marble and old subway style tile, relaxed lighting and super cozy atmosphere. Bartender Ahmad was friendly and jovial. So nice! Oysters are fresh and you choose your level of salinity/brininess. Highly recommend!"
"Looking for a place to wind down after shopping, this is it! New England and Chesapeake dishes with a fabulous selection of raw oysters. Great drinks and service is second to none. Highly recommend! We had some oysters and was amazed by the clam chowder as well."
