    We went for our 24th wedding anniversary and it was great. Brianna was an excellent server and did everything she could to help make the day special for us. Food was extremely delicious and not too expensive as you would see in similar restaurants. Overall, would definitely go back again!

    Christmas Eve and the place was packed but running efficiently. The owner was visibly on-site, taking pictures of patrons in front of their beautiful Christmas tree, a very nice touch. My only complaint was that it was a prix fixe menu, which I did not know about when I made the reservation. I also saw nothing on their website to indicate such. The food was excellent and well priced at $95 pp, so we stayed, but would have liked to have known that the full menu was not available before we went.

    First time to dine at Rappahannock Oyster Co. and it was worth it!! I love that they are invested in their own oyster farms. Farm to Table is the goal! Hubby and I enjoyed their oysters on the half, roasted oysters, smoked fish dip, and soup du jour, Clam Chowder (New England Styles). The Clan Stew was TOP NOTCH!! Exactly how clam chowder should be!!
