Juicy brined chicken & flavorful sides, plus vegan options.
"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
"The essential seafood and raw bar on H Street NE started sending out seasonal softies this month. Cornmeal-crusted soft shell crabs are only served as a special when they get them in fresh, but they’ve typically been available on weekends (market price)." - Tierney Plumb
"The acclaimed raw bar on H Street NE celebrates Fat Tuesday with $10 hurricanes and $10 Bourbon Street oysters (normally $13), from 5 p.m. to close." - Stephanie Carter
"One of the latest, and one with considerable merit, is Brine Chicken. A neon sign at the end of the room announces fire-grilled chicken, and a quarter bird consisting of a skin-on leg and thigh comes with a choice of two sides, which are bigger than you’d expect and frequently Greek. The chicken is quite good, and my beet salad with a cloud of tzatziki was even better." - Eater Staff
"Restaurant serving fire-grilled chicken brined for 24 hours, plus various sides." - Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya
