"The bounty of the Chesapeake Bay is one of D.C.’s culinary treasures, and there’s arguably no better setting to enjoy its salty gems than waterside at Whaley’s in the Navy Yards district. The seasonal plates play tricks on the taste buds with flavorful accents like the heat of red chilies in the chilled corn soup and the tartness of tomatillos and oranges in the day boat scallop crudo. Select a variety of oysters from up and down the Chesapeake’s eastern and western shores to determine your favorites for a second round—and add a second glass of your new favorite rosé to the order."
