This is where it all started – on the banks of the Rappahannock River overlooking where we grow our oysters. We like to call Merroir a “tasting room,” just so people know to expect something different. Everything is either served raw or cooked on an outdoor grill, small-plate-style, and beautifully paired with craft brews and world-famous wines. Each menu item is singularly-focused, seasonal, and ever-changing, so there’s always a surprise in store.

    Consistently an exceptional dining experience, worth the drive off the freeway. Fresh, briny oysters along with well seasoned oyster stew, scallops and the savory, unique stuffing muffin. Idyllic waterside location and sunset ambience.

    Foul odor in the dining room, like a backed up toilet. Yes, like sewage. Ordered a French white Bordeaux and was brought a French white blend that was 50% Chardonnay. Should have refused it but I had guests and didn’t want to make a scene. Server was very nice.
