Travis and Ryan Croxton debut their spinoff from the highly acclaimed Rappahannock Oyster Bar at Union Market in Washington, DC. They’ve even brought their DC Chef, Kevin Kelly, to man the kitchen at this outpost. This location in the historic Cigar Factory Building on East Bay Street, allows room for Chef Kelly to showcase more of his cuisine to a larger audience, including an incredibly unique 40 seat raw bar. Oysters grown by the Croxton’s own Rappahannock Oyster Company are accentuated, but Kelly’s signature dishes like lambs’n’clams, crabcakes, shrimp & grits and the best po’ boy you’ll ever eat are enough reasons in their own right for constant visits. Coupled with a great cocktail program and focus on local ingredients, ROB is a great place for any occasion.

Food was absolutely wonderful! Nice modest wine selection - the Beaujolais Gamay was nice for the meal. We shared the mushroom tart appetizer - what a great way to begin the meal. My wife had monkfish and I had the special chicken. Both were terrific. At midway, we swapped so we eat had half of each plate. The chicken was definitely the best chicken breast dish I've ever eaten - very moist and flavorful. The dessert was flan or creme caramel. Cooked to perfection. What a splendid finale to eating. Service was wonderful. They informed us about all the dishes and helped us choose. It was just a really, really nice dinner in an area where there are lots of wonderful restaurants.

Fabulous food and service. The restaurant was absolutely farmhouse beautiful and decorated for Christmas. The value of the food for the price was outstanding. Finished our lunch and moved to outside table for dessert, drinks and coffee with another equally attentive server. Highly recommend
