"We enjoyed the food we ordered, but the service left much to be desired. After initially ordering a couple of small plates, we decided to order more when the manager came by to check on us. Unfortunately, it took an unreasonable amount of time for those additional dishes to arrive, and they finally came out just as I was paying my bill and had to cancel the extras. When the food did arrive, it was not what we had ordered. Although we had a reservation, we were seated at a high-top table, and it seemed we were served by the bartender. He spent plenty of time chatting behind the bar but rarely checked on us, and when he did, it felt rushed. It seemed like they were eager for us to leave, even though we hadn’t yet received our full order. The bartender also never inquired if we wanted more drinks."

Everything was great! The oysters were the best we had while in D.C!

Our food was superb, but there was only one dessert choice, and no after-dinner cappuccino available.

Great setting, great food. I’d go more often but it’s difficult to deal with the wharf in terms of traffic and parking and/or Ubers and it’s all verrrrrry expensive

First time visit and it was great. We sat outside and had a fabulous time. Waitress was great. One of the owners was walking around talking to customers so nice vibe ! View menu

Food was good.. not great because it was cold. Service was embarrassingly bad. We were ignored for 20 minutes after we sat down. Server was apologetic but still service continued to be awful.

Monty was an excellent server, and the food was completely outstanding! Highly recommend the charbroil oyster, ceviche as well as steak tartare. Also had the market catch which was grilled swordfish

It wasn't what I anticipated. The place was quite noisy, lacking both atmosphere and decor. The service was disappointing, with long waits for simple requests. Our server seemed to prioritize one particular table, which hindered their ability to assist us promptly and accurately, leading to multiple follow-up requests for our orders. The food was decent but not outstanding, and it felt overpriced for what we received. I won't be returning. View menu

I've tried oysters in various preparations, but they just don't appeal to me. However, I've noticed that oyster bars often serve some of the best seafood, and Rappahannock is no exception! From the drinks—especially the sangria, which was the best my wife and I have ever tasted, truly a "Christmas in a glass"—to the tuna tartare appetizer and the crab cake entrée, everything was simply amazing. The service was impeccable as well. We'll definitely return the next time we're in DC!

The exterior of the restaurant was lovely, and the view of the water was stunning. The service was excellent, and our waiter attended to us very well. However, there was a nearby table where a woman was speaking quite loudly, which was somewhat distracting. The wine prices were on the higher side, which led to a bill that was more than we anticipated. Additionally, there were only two restrooms, and we ended up waiting in line for quite a while. Despite these issues, we did enjoy the food and the beautiful view.
