King Street Oyster Bar

We love it here, especially for happy hour. The oysters are delicious and the drinks are really good value. The service is amazing too - after even a couple of visits they remembered us and were really friendly.

Went on Mother’s Day the food was delicious. From the gumbo, calamari, spinach artichoke dip to the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. The drink options weren’t my favorite but my waitress was nice enough to bring out white cranberry juice from the bar. The atmosphere and the service from the staff was great will be back!

One of the best happy hour deals in town! The special menu is impressively extensive, with a great selection of small bites and cocktails to choose from. The happy hour oysters are my favorite—small, crisp, and briny. And at these prices, they’re practically a steal! I also really enjoyed the brussels sprouts and shrimp bites, both served with a delicious sweet and savory sauce. Cocktails here lean on the sweeter side, which I actually prefer. The frosé and punch are both super refreshing and pair beautifully with all the bar bites. The Tenleytown location is bright and modern, and not too far from the metro. Service is friendly and efficient. What’s not to love? I can’t wait to go back for another dozen oysters!

I’ve been here many times and while service can be slow it’s normally worth it. Today was one of the more bizarre dinning experiences I’ve had. It took over an hour to bring our food, and my “clam linguine” was obviously just the little neck clams they’d made by accident with some noodles put on top. Wild to think that would be ok but then when I talked to a manager about the food taking forever and not being even close to what I ordered she became confrontational because we ate it (again sitting for over an hour before any food came out so quite hungry). They covered the “linguine” and one glass of wine. In my opinion and experience in restaurants, we were stuck at this restaurant for 1.5 hours and then given food that clearly wasn’t what we ordered, this should have been an embarrassment that they were apologetic and hospitable about but instead I had to ask the manager to calm down.

The dessert was more than enough to share. Hushpuppies were good with the butter. My salad was beautiful and good. Salmon was cooked to perfection.

Great choice for refined casual eats! You HAVE to go to happy hour. We were lucky enough to come right when they rolled out their enhanced HH menu and we were impressed. Oysters are local and delicious, drinks are class and not overly sweet, everything our table ordered came out delicious. Also, our server Collin was awesome and did a great job running through the menu and getting things to the table quickly.

The first time we have ever not tipped so we feel like we have to explain why. We were not served water for 30 minutes, never received all the place settings we needed for our party (though we asked) and we were charged for oysters that arrived after our meal. Call me crazy, but appetizers are supposed to arrive before the meal. We said, “so sorry we wanted those earlier but we are ok now.” They put them on the table next to us and charged us even though we didn’t touch them. So we didn’t tip to make up for the price of the oysters. Would not recommend this place for anyone looking for a nice atmosphere or good service.

This place is so good!! Many options for plates and cocktails. We always went to Potomac Park but we knew the DC unit. Cool 😎

I can't think of the last time I found a $1 oyster HH on the weekends ever since inflation has taken off. Come here hungry and during HH for the best deals. HH runs everyday from 3:00 PM - 6:30 PM. For HH, you get $5 cocktails & wine, $5 beer IPA or lager option, and discounted bites. You also can't forget the $1 oysters. Now are these the best oysters I have ever had? Nope. But are they the best $1 oysters I have ever had? Absolutely! You won't find a higher quality oyster for a better price. A couple of Yelp elite pro tips: 1. Get there early and sit at the bar. You'll get served way faster in my experience. 2. Afterwards, you can do your grocery shopping at Wegman's since it is literally right next door.

We tried this place on whim, narrowly missing their happy hour specials. The food is overall decent, but not a place I would run to frequent. The service is friendly, and place is clean...but perhaps still working out some kinks. The ambiance is open and romantic, and the bar seating, which opens to an outdoor area, as well as the restaurant is a whole urban nautical vibe. Overall, recommend trying it out if in the area. yelp pro tip: healthcare providers get a 20% discount off their bill.

I came here for their anniversary and it was freaking awesome. I haven't had this freshest oyster in awhile. Because of the happy hour I don't even know how much I ended up eating. Because of their anniversary event, service wasn't the best at that time but I would like to come here again to check out their service again.

Place have never been crowded since I've been there. Went Sunday for brunch ! Did the bottomless drink and food . $55 ! You can only order two food items at a time . -Pancakes were delicious -Crab Benedict was small but tasteful. -Home fries were greasy but ok. -Drinks were good . Even though it was bottomless drinks , the bar tender takes forever to make it & looked at you weird for ordering multiples. They also have happy hour NFL . So I ordered wings ! This my second time ordering wings from here and they were big as my hand and also lots of hair and feathers! So I sent it back and the manager rolled her eyes at me! Noma location has the best wings (my opinion) Place doesn't get a lot of customers so it's never crowded!

What's not to love about a bottomless brunch and a bottomless brunch that has bottomless cocktails for an extra surcharge. One of my friend's celebrating his 55th birthday and there were about 25 people there so we got to take over the front room that was semi-private thank you Kerry. This is my second time coming for brunch and it didn't disappoint. This time I got to stay there a little longer as I wasn't in a time crunch. I started off with my crab cake benedict and it was delicious. I needed something sweet so I ordered the pancakes with my order. I also got to try the steak burrito which I thought was good, but I probably needed more meat inside. I started off with a Bloody Mary which was delicious and I think I had about three. So if you're thinking about giving the bottomless brunch and the cocktail, you will definitely get your money's worth My friend also ordered aome oysters and they were fresh and delicious. I know for their happy hour they have them at a discounted rate, so that's a good time to go visit this place.

I can to King Street Oyster Bar for a Yelp event and everyone was so friendly! The person at the entrance was very kind and directed me to my seat with a smile. All of the waiters also were very helpful and prompt with helping me with anything I needed. Now let's get to business! The food was great! My favorite was probably the salmon BLT, as I've never had anything like it before. The salmon and bacon paired perfectly with the soft bun and sauce they put on the sandwich. The crab cake sandwich was okay in my opinion. I was looking for a bit of a tang taste to the crab cake but instead I tasted more mayo than anything. The jambalaya was reallly good with sausage, chicken AND shrimp! The muscles were cooked perfectly and also had a really great sauce. In reference to the ceviche, a little too citrusy for my taste but it definitely tasted like fresh seafood. The clam pasta was also okay; I was particularly a fan of the sauce that was on the noodles but the meat in the clam tasted really good! In reference to drinks, I LOVED the sunset daiquiri! It was frozen and sweet, tasting like an alcoholic slushy: perfect for summer. Overall, the restaurant was really nice and upscale. Definitely a more fancy date spot with a person who enjoys seafood.

Come on!! $1.00 oysters during Happy Hour, 7 days a week! Whats not to like before even sitting down!

Let's think 3.5 stars. The happy hour menu is wonderful. Great discounts on their classic drinks, draft beers, and a handful of menu items. My partner and I were intrigued by the blue cheese potato chip style nachos. Regret. Thinking about it now makes my stomach turn a bit. This dish also had a pesto drizzle. The potato chips did. It hold up under the pesto and gently warmed blue cheese and were immediately soggy. And the taste....was just not it for us. We tried. But it made me feel gently queasy, and then i barely touched my dinner Boyfriend got the seared ahi tuna salad. Thought the tuna was done well, but the salad was very on par with a bagged salad fr the grocery store, the dressing was very sweet, and it was not really worth the cost I had the grilled salmon over cauliflower mash. It was okay. The cauliflower mash and buttery sauce gently coagulated while i was eating it. Think pudding skin. I'd go back to sit outside with friends and enjoy oysters during happy hour. But unlikely to return for a full meal. Our server was very friendly! Service in general was welcoming, attentive, and the server went around to every table before happy hour ended to take any last minute orders, which is really considerate. Perhaps we ordered wrong!

The King Street Oyster Bar happy hour menu is amazing! We came on a Saturday and ordered a whole bunch of oysters, apps, and drinks! The restaurant wasn't crowded, and the service was quick. This is a brand new location, and the interior is lovely and modern. Highlights included: the shrimp bites, the oysters, and chicken tenders. The tuna "tacos" were served on radishes, not tortillas, which was surprising but tasted great. I enjoyed the Moscow mule and the hazy IPA that I tried. The manager told us about their bottomless brunch (booze and food) deal for $55 per person. I would definitely come back for the full brunch experience.

Wow. Wow. This place is incredible with its cool blue ocean beachy theme! Came here for dinner and we were pleasantly surprised when we were told all tables are included in Happy Hour! The service was great! Collins made sure we were well taken care of! We enjoyed the chicken fingers with their crack-like mustard sauce! Most delish! I wish they would bottle it so I could take home!! We also tried the calamari from the HH menu which was fine but we loved our chicken fingers more. We absolutely loved our grilled sea scallops which comes in a delicious sauce with lobster , mushrooms, and tomatoes! The size of the scallops were incredible. We split this dish, but if you're hungry maybe you can conquer it all. Oh, and let's not forget the amazing and utterly delicious frozen espresso martini! Not on happy hour menubut totally worth it! I will definitely be back to try more of what this amazing place has to offer!! Chef's kiss Happy eating, everyone!

My husband and I had just arrived in DC and we were craving oysters/mussels and had heard Kings St.Oyster Bar has a wonderful happy hr menu. We were greeted by Rick at the door and he even came by our table later to chat with us, he was so friendly and it turns out he was the owner! Our waitress(Cinnamon) made some suggestions of Tuna Tacos and crabcakes to go with our 2 dozen oysters and pot of mussels We're from Oregon so we eat plenty of seafood and everything we ordered was fresh and delicious! Rick was wonderful and came back to check on us and Cinnamon was very attentive and checked on us many times. At the end of our eating frenzy Rick came with a complimentary pistachio/chocolate gelato with house made candied pecan chips... what fantastic flavors! We can't say enough about this restaurant, the decor is modern and airy, personnel very friendly and food delicious. We will certainly come back again on our next DC visit. We rate this 5 stars on Yelp!

Honestly I came for the memes since someone gave this place a 1 star for a damn salad. But holy shit this place is a solid happy hour and all the seafood was good. Accidentally came during their every day happy hour and it's such a good deal. 3-6:30 every, there's enough for everybody from dips to meats to sliders. I know sometimes places give mini versions of their dishes for happy hour so we over ordered. And my god the portions are huge. Always appreciate a place with in house chips and fries, but everything here was on point, even the chicken tenders that we ordered as a joke. All the seafood tasted fresh and was cooked well, shrimp bites were up there along with the oysters. We got charbroiled since some party members were squeamish about eating them raw, but $1.75 per during happy hour is something I'll definitely try in my own. All in all an excellent seafood offering in the area, and a great fit for the new shopping center. It's a chill vibe fit for coworkers, dates, and families abound, and the service was on point. Sadly no validated parking but you can walk across to Wegman's and they got you covered. And finally, our salad was good, thanks for asking.

This restaurant is in the newly developed City Ridge area on Wisconsin Ave, near Tenleytown metro. It's a short walk from us so went for an early dinner on a weekday - although we got there early enough could have tried their happy hour but the inside bar area was pretty crowded and the outside bar counter had now shade. The dining room feels pretty airy with all the open windows at the bar, but we opted for the patio which is very pleasant on a warm summer evening - some of the tables had shade from large umbrellas. We had fried oysters and Asian salad (chopped) with fried popcorn shrimps in a sweetish dressing. Service was good and the food quite delicious. Good to have this new restaurant in our neighborhood - will likely be back again and try some of the other dishes.

Long time lover of KSOB and I'm so happy about this NW DC location. Everything about this spot is amazing from the easy parking garage below Wegmans to the great bar service to the incredible oysters! They have awesome (food and drink) happy hour starting at 3pm, serve my husband's favorite Honor Brewing IPA for a great cause (currently supporting/raising awareness of CJ3 Foundation), and their oysters are out of this world. Today, I enjoyed the perfectly charbroiled oysters and oysters Rockefeller which were so rich and tasty. Raw oysters are part of their happy hour which is amazing. And their frose comes with and adorable mermaid garnish.

I've had bad restaurant experiences, but King St. Oyster Bar was something else. My wife and I took our two kids (4 and 6) there on Saturday. We got there at 6pm and were seated quickly. We couldn't get a waiter or waitress to serve us. We spent the next 30 minutes (not exaggerating) trying to get someone to just bring our kids water. They were so thirsty. We were told by the staff that we flagged down that they would bring water 3 times...but no water. Finally, just after 6:30pm, a waitress came to our table and we ordered food and drinks. We asked multiple times if she could bring water quickly. Fast forward and surprise, no water, no drinks, no food for anyone. After 10 more minutes, our kids were so thirsty! At 6:40pm, I went up to the bar to try and order our drinks and food, but the bartender wouldn't let me order anything. I explained that we'd been there for 40 minutes but she wouldn't let me order. She just said she would send a waiter to our table. 6:45pm: The same waitress that had taken our order previously showed up, and took the exact same order that we had already made! It was ridiculous. We asked that they just bring out all the food, appetizers and mains, at the same time. We also asked if they could just bring water for our little kids!!! Surprise surprise... minutes later AND WE STILL HAD NO WATER!!!! Forget the fact that wed been there for over 45 minutes and they hadn't served us the beer or cocktails we ordered, but our kids just wanted a sip of water! WTF!!! I went to the bar again to order food and drinks at 6:50pm. Surprise, the bartender wouldn't take my order. She just said she would send a server to our table! She said she was sorry but they were short staffed. At this point I'm offended that I'm being refused service and beyond pissed off. 6:55pm: Our little kids just want to leave so they can get water. My wife grabs two glasses from an empty table and goes up to the bar demanding that they fill them up with water for our kids. Finally we have a little bit of water...just for the kids but at least they have water. 7:05pm: They bring the main dishes that my wife and I ordered...but nothing for our kids! Unreal that after sitting there for an hour they bring us food but nothing for our kids when we asked them to serve us all at the same time. The food was fine, lukewarm and mediocre...but nothing you would complain about if it was served in a timely manner. After waiting an hour...it was obviously beyond sub par. 7:15pm: They finally bring our children the orders from the kids menu that we had placed almost an hour prior. Their food was cold and they both had French fries that felt stale. (We had to take them across the street to Wegmans to get them dinner after this whole debacle.) 7:20pm: For some reason they bring me the beer I ordered over an hour ago well after I finished my dinner...while never bringing the glass of wine that my wife ordered (or the cocktail I ordered when I realized they wouldn't bring my beer). 7:25pm: The bartender brings my wife a glass of wine. She asks me what kind of vodka I want in my cocktail that I ordered over an hour ago. ???????? (Same bartender that wouldn't let us order food, drinks, or even give us water until pushed to give it just for our kids.) 7:26pm: We ask for the check which remarkably, they bring in 30 seconds. Hilariously, my cocktail that they never made or served, is actually on the check buts it's zero'd out. Nice of them to comp us a drink that they never served after an hour. I don't know how to sum up the experience. I've been to restaurants that are short staffed, leading to frustrating experiences, but this wasn't that. It felt more like institutionalized stupidity and ineptitude. I don't want to give the wrong impression...the staff were all seemingly nice and friendly people, but I've never seen such a consistent level of bad service. Hopefully they get their act together but DO NOT bring your kids here. Having a kids menu doesn't make it family friendly.

Not a mixture like other places are offering Salmon BLT - tender juicy salmon Nashville hot chicken Sandwich - HOT, JUICY, & DELICIOUS Shout out to Kerry & Stephanie !! Those ladies made sure our service was delightful & delicious

Best happy hour in DC. Everyday until 630pm, unsure of the start time. Drink and food specials. Located within city ridge so parking available in the ramp. I've always sat at the bar and get great service. They are attentive and check in frequently if you need anything additional. There's seating both indoor and outdoor and they have a large set of windows that opens in the summer. I usually get the burger and it's the best burger for the price around. I'll walk over after a long day of work just because I know I can't find anything better for the price. Boyfriend changes it up but loves the po boy the most. Seating is usually open and available making a reservation not necessary. Happy hour is everywhere throughout the restaurant because the bar area can get pretty packed

The takeout portions are not the same as the in restaurant portions. I ordered the crab cake dinner and the crab cakes and fries portions were significantly smaller than what I had had on December 20 at the NoMa restaurant for dine in lunch. The price was the same, $34.00. The food is very good, but the portions should be the same. This is a significant problem for me re this restaurant.

Great fish and chips. Jambalaya was delish. Modern, clean atmosphere. Was seated promptly and served quickly.

I've been to King St. Oyster Bar a few times but this location is a new spot. The place was great and the customer service was superb. Food has always been consistent and good and the appetizers are always great!

I'm familiar with this oyster bar but this is a new location! Of course I came for happy hour and had my favorite, Salmon sliders. They grilled those lil pieces with love and care ok! It did not disappoint. Next I tried something new (to me), the tenders. They're hot, fresh, homemade, and taste so good with the honey mustard. Who can beat the serving of fries it comes with? It's a nice deal. They decorate the bar for the holidays, which was cool and we watched the game while we ate. The bartenders and servers were great and made sure our happy hour orders were submitted on time!

King Street Oyster Bar was a culinary find in a lovely area of NW Washington. We were visiting from California and this was one of the nearby restaurants. My wife immediately settled on the lobster roll, as she's a New England native. Her judgment: This was excellent, with lots of chunks of lobster on a grilled bun. She liked it so much, we ate there the next day for lunch and she had the same thing! I, on the other hand, tried the jambalaya the first time (fantastic) and the seafood pasta the second (again, fantastic). The service from Cinnamon and Jessica was first rate. It was even happy hour the second time we went, so I enjoyed a KSOB IPA for $5. We will definitely return on our next trip to D.C.

One of my favorite spots isthe King Street Oyster Bar in Potomac; however, this DC location not so much. Let me say that our server was excellent; attentive and accommodating. However, this DC has obvious food handling issues and the management seems lacking. The first glass of wine had a foreign object floating in the glass and it was NOT a piece of cork. I advised the server who quickly replaced the glass of wine. Well the second glass also had an object in it. The server replaced it again and provided the next glass complimentary. We ordered spinach dip and the plate had a long hair on it. Luckily the server was at the table to see it and take it away. The manager never came over to acknowledge the mishaps or to check on us at the table. Thus left us with the impression that we didn't matter and they don't care about the safety of the food they are serving. Everything is so expensive these days, so they need to do better. Be careful if you eat or drink anything here. .

Never been here before, so dropped in for Happy Hour. Restaurant is clean and beautiful. It was a nice day so we decided to sit at the bar. We had Shrimp Bites, Chicken Tenders, and King Street Wings...and a House Wine. Everything was delicious w/ good portions. The tenders were our favorite, but the shrimp bites and wings didn't disappoint. Bartender gave great service and even gave us an extra glass of wine on the house. If you're in the area, you should definitely check this place out.

Feel like we maybe got an off night last Friday (2/23). The place was nearly empty and we opted to sit at the bar despite tabletop reservations. I was very excited to try this location since we are just down the street and love the original. The ambience and décor are pretty great: tucked away from the nightmare that is Wisconsin Ave and perfect for a little date night with the ambient lighting of just a upscale casual hang. The drinks were good. I was really please with my Margarita which was not overly sweet and pretty strong. Price-wise, nothing special, but that is DC in nutshell. The service from the bartender was fine, but my overall impression of all the service is that it was a little too casual for my tastes. I prefer to be treated a little bit more formally, though everyone was far from rude. Just a preference. Food? It was just okay. The broiled oysters were the star - delicious, briny and slathered with just the right amount of butter and cheese. From there, I was a little disappointed, overall. First, the crab dip was very good, but not so much different than lower scale, less expensive places. Second, my fish and chips were soggy. Had they been crisp out the fryer they would have received pretty high marks for taste, price and portion size (also, really good slaw). But there wasn't much crunch to either component. My wife's crab cake and fries fared better, according to her. But she's way less picky than I am! Totally self-aware here... The bread pudding dessert was TO DIE FOR. Might have been the best thing we ate all night, but that's not why I went to an oyster bar/seafood restaurant. Next time I'll come for the seafood tower and stay in their lane. Also, their HH specials are very attractive. Dinner prices for oysters ($3.00+ per per) ensure it is either a night out or going with-out! I'll be back and hopefully have a more positive experience/review - maybe it is still working out the kinks.

I went with a buddy of mine for happy hour and was very impressed. Parking is easy and it wasn't hard to get an evening table. The happy hour menu is a great option--most of the standard appetizers are on it at the regular size (not like some places that just serve smaller and cheaper happy hour bites). The wine and beer selection is good and they have a full bar to mix up anything else you want. The oysters were fresh, the seafood was cooked perfectly, and flavors on everything were rich and intense. We split six small plates and some oysters and had plenty of food. Will definitely come here again -- it's great for date night, a working dinner, or just to catch up with friends.

Love this place. Ike, the bartender, is the best. Went here for my 50th and it was a blast.

Great food, great friendly service...great evening. Server Christian and server John were...great

What a welcome addition to the neighborhood, especially for those of us who love seafood! We've had a nice dinner here and returned to sample from the selection of fresh oysters they have- all of which were delicious, as is in-house hot sauce that comes with them. Our servers have been great, we've throughly enjoyed our drinks, main courses, and my fiancé's salads have consistently arrived with dressing. Their bar program looks pretty serious, now that dry January is over we'll put that to the test? Once the weather gets warm outside I reckon their outdoor bar area will be the place to be.

This restaurant is up the street from where I live and I've checked it out for happy hour once and it was pretty decent. I remember the margaritas being dirt cheap and good. The food was OK at best. I would definitely go back here again.

I've given great reviews for this restaurant previously, however, our recent visit was AWFUL! We were seated and sat for at least 10 minutes and no one ever acknowledged us. We decided to leave and I spoke with the manager to let her know why we were leaving. Manager 'Carrie' responded with a nonchalant 'okay.' She made no attempt to rectify the situation. Needless to say, we will not return again. It used to be our 'go to' restaurant, but there are many other very good restaurants in the area with much better management and customer service. And those restaurants are where hubby and I choose to spend our money. Good bye, KSOB!

Amazing service, and the food and drinks were delicious. We loved the grilled scallops and lobster over pasta, with the best pasta sauce I can remember. Prices are very affordable for the quality of food. Plus happy hour is even better. And the space is fabulous. Don't miss this place.

King Street Oyster Bar - Washington is a decent restaurant for dinner. There are many food and drink options here. The service is good, and the staff is friendly. Portion sizes and prices are fair. There is nearby garage parking and street parking, along Wisconsin Avenue in Northwest, Washington, DC. Also, the Tenleytown metro station, home to the red line, is about a fifteen to twenty minute walk from here.

Samantha at King Street Oyster Bar consistently provides exceptional service, demonstrating a deep knowledge of the menu, including allergy-friendly options.

If you find yourself near Cathedral Heights and are in search of a top-tier culinary spot with outstanding food and even better service, King Street Oyster Bar is a must-visit. As an industry veteran, Samantha has cultivated an exclusive and elite following in the area, further elevating the reputation of this exceptional dining

I've been to this new location at City Ridge once for dinner and today for lunch. It's so great. Beautiful atmospheric and the staff is kind, considerate and attentive. My own meals there have been so yummy. I shared my friend's friends oysters today... crazy good. My fish and chips were amazing and I lived in England! This is a most do in northwest.

Despite not having visited the restaurant in several years due to dissatisfaction with the food, I decided to give it another chance at the new Ridge Square NW location. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing once again. The food quality remains subpar; the fried oysters contained pieces of shell and tasted amateurish. Additionally, the soup was served lukewarm, indicating a lack of attention to detail. Furthermore, the manager at this location was notably unfriendly, which detracted from the overall experience. It is disheartening to encounter such consistent issues, and I question why I continue to patronize this establishment.

That Calamari was everything ! It's the sauce I could drink it! Lol! Also had the clams which was really good but I don't recommend taking them to go as they leaked through the paper bag and now I'm taking my car to get cleaned and shampooed!‍

first, didn't even know this ksob was here. newer area but beautiful. nice outside area && love the bar outside ! only got the old fashion on draft which i enjoyed. (dab sweet for my liking but for tap a1) server was great. && it was beautiful outside on a sunday

Giving this a four star but it would have been a solid 5 if it was only a review of the lobster mac & cheese. So cheesy, great pieces of lobster. For years, when I traveled, I tracked down Smith & Wollensky for their version. No more. Now I can get a good version locally. Sadly, the service that caused me to end up with the Mac--a mistake in my order which I decided to go with--was annoying. The reason I went ahead and paid for the wrong order (I hadn't tried the Mac yet) was that I'd had a good time sitting at the bar listening to the live band (I'd stopped spontaneously at the end of my evening walk). So a plus all around, except the unpleasant waiter (not surly yet but on his way there).

I ate here for the first time a few days ago. I love oysters and was happy to try a new place uptown. I was disappointed to learn that although they had 12 different oyster choices, instead of being able to order one of each, guests were required to buy oysters in groups of three. So at most you could sample four oyster choices if you ordered a dozen. I ordered a half dozen which were good but I only got to try two types. The lobster salad was superb but pricey ($30!!). I was later shocked when the bill came and my friend's martini was $20 and his after dinner scotch was $28!!!! I will not return because the alcohol is outrageously expensive. There are lots of other oyster places with great oysters you can buy individually and with reasonably priced drinks.

The food was good enough, but the restaurant has no sound deadening whatever. There was also a large very loud party in a separate room, but the staff didn't close the doors so it was even louder.

Food is yummy and reasonably priced. They were also great at safely accommodating my son's food allergies

SO DISAPPOINTING!! How hard is it to ensure you actually add dressing to a salad. If you can't get that right, there's no hope for anything even minute being done correctly in the future. Thanks for my dry ass salad. NEVER again! Get your stuff together people and get an actual QUALITY CONTROL process in place or you'll be out of business before you know it.

Great addition to the area, Beautiful bar with a great beer selection and high end cocktails. Happy hour is not to be missed, with solid deals, tuna taco was a special hit. Friendly servers help round out this excellent place.

We went to King Street Oyster Bar at City Ridge just a few days after it opened. One would expect that there would be a few kinks that they would have to work out but from the host staff, to our server to our food and drink, everything was top notch. Our server, Christian was attentive without hovering and our food and drinks came quickly. I had the shrimp bites for an appetizer. It was a good portion of shrimp in a tasty chili lime sauce and my trout main course was cooked perfectly, tender, tasty and the lemon butter sauce was flavorful without overpowering the trout. No room for dessert but another in our party ordered a decadent brownie hot fudge sundae. They rolled out happy as could be. The restaurant is nicely appointed and although the restaurant and bar filled up pretty quickly, it was never too loud. There is a separate glass room with long tables that would be great for larger parties. I look forward to our next visit to King Street Oyster Bar.
