Oyster Society

One of the best dining experiences I've ever had! Everything was delicious and the atmosphere was amazing. Our service was top notch so we will definitely be back! Between Beaunuts and now Oyster Society, the owner of these restaurants serves the best of every meal of the day! Update: I've been back three more times, and it gets better every time. This is now my favorite restaurant. It's not just a meal, it is an entire experience!

We went to The Oyster Society yesterday to celebrate our anniversary/ Valentine’s Day. I had been working to get reservations for awhile and it did not disappoint.
The ambiance is warm, mystical, and eclectic. The staff incredibly attentive and friendly.
You start off with one of their unique cocktails. They then bring you a butter candle which they light served with black bread (made with cuddle fish ink). The wait staff then comes and explains the menu and all of the entrees because they change seasonally. They suggest you order like a tasting menu. We ordered the Sea Board followed by the Tartar. Richard had the scallops and I the duck. We then had the apple dessert. We took a good amount of food home.
They take time between courses allowing you to really have an experience.
I would highly recommend you go.
The food is exquisite and unique. The staff knowledgeable and so attentive.
This is probably my favorite restaurant in VA so far.

Had the duck and it was amazing! My friend had the beef and it was so delicious. The potatoes pavé was such a stellar side dish I was almost jealous I didn't get the beef! Lol

I can tell the chefs take pride in their work. The drinks were amazing too. Definitely going back

Absolutely blown away after our lunch here today! The candle butter with the bread was definitely the highlight! Our waiter was so nice and seemed really passionate about the food/drinks, and the atmosphere here is top notch. Honestly, for what you get, the prices here can’t be matched. Maybe it is because I am from out of state and this food would have been double where I live? but it’s amazing. As a vegetarian, I was nervous I wouldn’t find much I could eat, but that definitely wasn’t the case at all. If you’re planning on coming here, just do it already!

Everything was absolutely amazing. Drinks, food, service, atmosphere. Everything was spectacular. Most intelligent drink menu I've seen in my 20 years in the culinary industry. The food was well thought out, beautifully presented and most importantly absolutely Delicious. I'd recommend this place to everyone and any one I know.... Even people I don't know.
