"At around 10 p.m. on Monday at the Wharf, I spotted six DEA-marked agents loitering outside a deserted space; the restaurant is closed on Mondays." - Tierney Plumb
"Chef Jamie Leeds’s local group of timeless seafood restaurants added a fitting location right on the water in 2017. Hank’s serves East and West coast oysters and local favorites like Eastern Shore crab dip and seasonal soft shell crabs. The brand’s beloved lobster rolls are a go-to order here." - Tierney Plumb, Vinciane Ngomsi
"A good time, a full stomach, and a $55 dinner menu. Talk about perfection." - MICHELIN Guide
"Hank’s Oyster Bar will offer a special entree to commemorate the blossoms in bloom: pan-seared New Zealand lamb loin, Israeli couscous, baby carrots, Mediterranean spices, and a topping of cherry-mint sauce." - Vinciane Ngomsi, Eater Staff
"Head to this reliable raw bar to sip a “Buoy” ($13) — an aptly named gin- and vodka-based dirty martini. If that’s not enough brine for you, classic picklebacks ($8) are also available. Available at all three Hank’s locations (the Wharf, Dupont, and Old Town)." - Emily Wishingrad
