Brine H Street
Oyster bar restaurant · Near Northeast
1359 H St NE, Washington, DC 20002
"This H Street NE hotspot offers an abundant seafood menu stocked with lobster rolls, East and West Coast oysters, peel-and-eat shrimp, and crab cakes. The 3-year-old nautical venture from Aaron McGovern and Arturas Vorobjovas puts a Cajun spin on oysters Rockefeller with broiled andouille sausage, red pepper corn succotash, parmesan, and corn bread crumble. Happy hour runs 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. A second Brine arrived in Dupont this year." - Missy Frederick, Tierney Plumb
"Brine’s over-the-top bottomless brunch offerings makes anyone king — for at least a morning. For two hours, enjoy unlimited East Coast oysters, mimosas, rum punch, bloody marys, prosecco, brunch starters (and one brunch entree) for $120. A second location recently arrived in Dupont." - Tierney Plumb, Stephanie Carter
"H Street’s essential raw bar shaves $1 off its East Coast oysters all day on Tuesday and from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. all other weekdays. A newer location sits in Dupont." - Tierney Plumb, Eater Staff
"The essential seafood and raw bar on H Street NE just received its first shipments of seasonal softies. Cornmeal-crusted soft shell crabs are only served as a special when they get them in fresh, but they’re typically available on weekends only (market price). A newer location sits at the top of Dupont Circle." - Tierney Plumb
"Brine prepares their lobster rolls New England style ($35), tossed in mayonnaise and topped with scallions inside of a sweet brioche roll. Shoestring fries come on the side. Available at both the H St NE and Dupont posts." - Missy Frederick, Vinciane Ngomsi
