"You can’t miss the raw bar in the entryway of Picnic in Kensington. It’s as if the giant icy display is screaming, “You need oysters, now!” And it’s right. You can sit at the bar and double the briny effect with a platter of oysters and a pickled martini, or grab a couple dozen with a few friends at their large cafe-style tables. The oyster options change regularly, but the quality is always excellent. Don’t forget to drench them with the onion-y mignonette, smoky hot sauce, or the tangy verde sauce sidekicks. That’s a lunch or dinner we can get behind. Yes, there’s a Sunday happy hour with $1.75 oysters" - candis mclean
