"After stints at food hall R. House, the McHenry Row shopping center, and White Hall Mill market, The Urban Oyster planted permanent roots, fittingly, a stone’s throw both from where its chef-owner Jasmine Norton grew up and where she lives now. The aquamarine walls of the 2,200-square-foot dining room are dotted with pop art prints from artist Criss Bellini and a rope tapestry hand-woven in India. The menu reflects this dressed-up approach, as well, with dishes like a whole grilled branzino atop white bean puree and salsa verde, oxtail lasagna, vegan garden risotto, and a tea-brined Cornish hen. Also expect more playful dishes, including a lobster corndog and fried oyster deviled eggs." - Jess Mayhugh, Eater Staff
