   The best happy hour deal in town!! I enjoyed each appetizer and drink I got. The frosé was refreshing and not too sweet. The crab cake sliders and bruschetta were delectable. Our server, Cinnamon, was so attentive and congenial. I can’t wait to return.

   King Street is a great restaurant, but this location seems to be lacking. As a neighborhood place, it’s okay, but given its heritage and location, it could be so much more. I’ve eaten here 5 times, only 2 visits met my expectations. This last visit may have been the worst. I definitely will think twice before going again.

   This was our first visit to this restaurant. We were slightly disappointed by a few things. The heat did not seem to be working so we ate our dinner with our coats on the management said they did not know what was wrong with the heat that they were trying to make it warmer unsuccessfully. We told our server that one of us was lactose intolerant, and they brought our dish cooked and butter, which is not acceptable. We were told to keep our forks for every course while we watch the people next to us have their server replace their plates and forks after each course. We were never informed about the specials on the menu and the promotion to have an appetizer entrée and dessert all inclusive. We did not order an alcoholic beverage and wondered if that turns the weight stuff off. But it should not. Between the temperature and the miscommunication we may not be visiting this restaurant again.

   This is the best restaurant in the area that no one has ever heard of. I ask people in my neighborhood NW Kent neighborhood if they have been there. The response we have never heard of it. The happy hour 7 days a week is over the top and the food is exceptional. Most drinks $5 and most dishes $5-7. Your marketing team needs to do a much better job promoting NW DC King Street Otsters on Ridge Rd just off Wisconsin next to Wegmans. We entertained 9 guests for brunch there yesterday. Everyone had drinks and a full entre with large order of oysters. Total bill with tax was $450. Best Buy in town.

   Excellent fish and chips, with generous portions. A grilled salmon club sandwich on a brioche roll was delicious, with the salmon cooked exactly as I ordered - medium rare. Service was prompt and friendly. This is the second time we have visited and we will be going back again.

   Our male waiters were excellent. The waitress was unhelpful and arrogant. All she did was puah us to drink more liquor. The noise level was slightly improved after we moved to another table, but was still too loud for a pleasant evening. I had requested a quiet table when I made the reservation, but no one paid any attention to this request. The food was excellent, but the loud noise plus the unfriendly waitress ruined the ambiance for me. Suggest you install some noise reducing room dividers. It's annoying to have to yell at your dining companions to be heard!

   Very good oysters, little neck clams and jambalaya. Good service and quiet. At happy hour, oysters are 1$ a piece.
