   Delicious food! A little on the expensive side, but isn't everything now? Everything we tried we liked. I will go back for sure.

   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 10 out of 10!

   Great spot and my favorite in the neighborhood for Happy Hour (4-6pm). KSOB oysters, Jax Mussels, and Chop House Burger are my most enjoyed items. Parking validation via Wegmans is a big plus.

   This was such a disappointing experience and I hope a one-off for the City Ridge location. We had so been looking forward to a family night out, made a reservation and were seated promptly. From there, it went downhill - No one ever came to bring us water, take our order, check on us … we had to chase down wait staff ~30 minutes in and still it was a struggle. We were told they were short staffed, which happens. But the manager never came by, no one seemed to care even after we finally got someone to acknowledge how long we’d been sitting there and take our order. Our drinks arrived after the food and a minute before we were ready for the check. The check was the only thing that arrived promptly - which was quite expensive for such a stressful experience. Sigh.
