Tavern & Table is the dream child of Cecil & Dianne Crowley, Andy Palmer & Jeff Condon. After years of working together on various successful restaurant concepts, they wanted to bring together the very best aspects of fine dining and casual hospitality in a beautiful and comfortable setting. Tavern & Table is more than a restaurant, it was created to be a gathering place where people sit in comfort and share small plates for the table or enjoy a hearty meal. The bartenders know the fine art of cocktail making and their interest in flavor and presentation comes alive in not only in the food but in barrel aged cocktails that are created in-house.

Travis and Ryan Croxton debut their spinoff from the highly acclaimed Rappahannock Oyster Bar at Union Market in Washington, DC. They’ve even brought their DC Chef, Kevin Kelly, to man the kitchen at this outpost. This location in the historic Cigar Factory Building on East Bay Street, allows room for Chef Kelly to showcase more of his cuisine to a larger audience, including an incredibly unique 40 seat raw bar. Oysters grown by the Croxton’s own Rappahannock Oyster Company are accentuated, but Kelly’s signature dishes like lambs’n’clams, crabcakes, shrimp & grits and the best po’ boy you’ll ever eat are enough reasons in their own right for constant visits. Coupled with a great cocktail program and focus on local ingredients, ROB is a great place for any occasion.

Our experience at Virginia’s on King was 5-Star. Since it was Thanksgiving day and really nothing open, we ate both breakfast and a late lunch at VOK. We were very impressed with both services and the food quality. The menu was very broad which allowed us to try something different at each seating. The service was even better than the food quality. Tim was honestly one of the most attentive and friendly waiters I have ever experienced. If you are traveling to Charleston make sure to hit VOK and request Tim.

Out of town colleagues and I had a wonderful dinner. Local fish of the day was a black grouper and it was delicious, fresh, and had a nice presentation. Another had the shrimp and grits. Biggest serving I’ve ever seen of that dish in this town. We started with raw oysters and they were on point! Decent wine list and our server,Joe, was fantastic. Don’t sleep on Rappahannock.

Atmosphere was very good with low noise and clean restaurant. Waiter needs training in table manners (reached across tables awkwardly to set down food). Food looked and tasted like it came out of a box and was heated in a microwave. This was my first visit to a P.F. Chang's and expected a meal looking and tasting like it was made fresh to order. Perhaps my last visit.
