This is where it all started – on the banks of the Rappahannock River overlooking where we grow our oysters. We like to call Merroir a “tasting room,” just so people know to expect something different. Everything is either served raw or cooked on an outdoor grill, small-plate-style, and beautifully paired with craft brews and world-famous wines. Each menu item is singularly-focused, seasonal, and ever-changing, so there’s always a surprise in store.

    We had a lovely Birthday Dinner on the 21st. Our weight person was terrific and attentive. Sadly we were the one and only customers for a six thirty seating. I know that Merrior is always crowded in the summer, but people need to know it is quiet and extremely enjoyable in the winter as well. We sat on the porch and it was warm and cozy.

    The view at this place is amazing. The food, at least what we ate, oyster, steamed shrimp, and chilled shrimp were ok nothing outstanding. The service was great and this is a good place to grab lunch if you are in the area.

    This was our first visit. We were seated outside as requested. The staff were friendly, yet they were busy and had a couple of large tables. The food (oysters, seafood roll and swordfish) and atmosphere were really good.
