"The catch-all menu at the growing nautical chain includes starters like gumbo, wings, calamari, and spinach and artichoke dip, plus lots of seafood-stuffed sandwiches, burgers, and surf-and-turf entrees. There are locations in Middleburg, Leesburg, NoMa, City Ridge, and Potomac. Call for takeout orders." - Tierney Plumb

"Known for a $1 happy-hour oyster deal, this local seafood spot is running a promotion that will award one lucky winner a free weekly dozen of happy-hour oysters for a whole year: enter by signing up for the restaurant’s email list by February 23; a winner will be announced the next day and will receive 52 vouchers, each redeemable for one week in the next year after March 3." - Emily Venezky
"This oyster bar always has inventive rotating drinks on the menu, but Christmastime leads to even more inspiration during King Street’s “12 Days of Cocktails.” From December 13 to the 25th, a new cocktail joins the menu each day to spread some holiday cheer. From the Mistletoe Margarita, that switches out orange liqueur for apple cider, to Baby It’s Cold Outside, a creamy white chocolate martini, there are plenty of surprising seasonal cocktails to check out each day at the NoMa spot." - Emily Venezky

"Every day from 3-6:30 p.m., this Potomac restaurant has $5 cocktails, wine, and beers, $1 oysters, and several food discounts, including $7-and-under bites like crab cake sliders, tenders, burgers, and more." - Tierney Plumb, Missy Frederick
"I spotted lobster rolls from King Street Oyster Bar at Market Square, presented as a seafood option among the festival stalls." - Evan Caplan
