Great Tavern / a Oyster house in the heart of Virginia Highlands. This New Orleans infused restaurant is a great place to hang and get your Nola fix.
The atmosphere is wonderful and the service is great. I started with the chargrilled “NOLA” style oysters and they were very good... Followed by blackened catfish and fried okra which was spot-on.
Great place with a nice bar, indoor and outdoor balcony seating.
A place with steamed oysters! We were so excited to see them on the menu. It is a quirky place, with a beautiful bar and awesome outdoor seating. We really enjoyed eating at the bar and watching them shuck some oysters. The lobster bisque and lobster roll are delicious. Oysters are very good as well!
The food was delicious (fresh and hot)! I had lobster bisque and po boy. Husband had gumbo and shrimp and grits. Our waiter was a very lovely gentleman. Classic rock, which I love, was playing. I saw one of the waitresses biting her nails. While we were eating, there were gnats flying around. When we departed nobody said goodbye or thanked us for coming.
Their food and drinks are wonderful!!! Their table service is terrible though. Our waitress was always flying by us like she was super busy. She was pleasant but barely gave us the time of day. We had to yell as she was flying by us when we needed something. The first time we went we sat at the bar and had great service there. This time we went for dinner so we wanted to enjoy our meal at a table where we had plenty of room for our food and didn't feel cramped. I highly recommend trying this restaurant, go in with the mindset you're going for the food not the service.
I’ve been here several times for their happy hour on Tuesdays. The dozen of oysters for $10 are always freshly shucked and tasty. The bisque and calamari are also another one of my favorites. They also have a great selection of beers.
