The vibe
A New England-inspired seafood bar and restaurant steps from Nationals Park, with a stunning enclosed riverfront dining room and heated year-round outdoor seating. The raw bar program featuring rotating Chesapeake and New England oysters is among DC's finest, and Friday's all-afternoon 'Happy Afternoon' is one of the city's best pregame deals. The Fish House Punch cocktail is a neighborhood legend.
