Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Julia Sullivan

From the OpenTable editors: Chef Julia Sullivan’s chic Germantown bistro is what seafood dreams are made of—the James Beard finalist dazzles with an elegant menu starring the likes of sustainably sourced oysters, Tennessee paddlefish caviar, and a saffron-topped red snapper with Carolina gold rice. Snag a seat at the raw bar for a front-row seat to why GQ named this one of 2018’s Best New Restaurants in America.

The appetizers we had were amazing! But, the tables were very close together and loud, which made it difficult to hear the person across from you. Loved that they had many non-alcoholic cocktails. Would recommend the Beet Toast and Beef Tartar.

The oysters were overpriced and very lackluster. It was not a good value at all. Also they don’t have standard saltine crackers as an option but some sort of crispy home made cracker that had to be broken off into pieces. Most of the dishes were vegan. Of all the oyster locations I’ve been to, this was my least favorite. However the cocktails were great.

The food was excellent and our waiter was great. They also provided our entire party with a complimentary glass of champagne as we were celebrating several birthdays. However we were very disappointed that they were sold out of the quiche and crab cake sandwich which they featured as their signature dishes. They were also sold out of the fried oyster sandwich. Their menu is not that extensive so to be sold out of three dishes is not acceptable. Poor planning.
