Best KPortal Reviews
We decided to try this place for lunch. It was a beautiful day so we devided to sit outside. After ordering the seafood tower, the waiter noticed bugs were starting to circle. He moved us to another area that was bug free. I think his name was Michael, he was great. He gave great suggestions and was very attentive. The other staff members were great too. Overall the food was good. The seafood tower was good. The thai oysters, fried oysters and the shrimp were my favorites. Drinks and the Whiskey flight was great.
We visited this seafood restaurant in Alexandria a while ago and came across it while exploring the area. The restaurant had an ocean theme, with blue lights resembling the ocean and sea-themed objects on the walls and ceiling. We started with some fresh and tasty oysters on the half shell for the appetizer, followed by calamaries, lobster mac & cheese, and seasoned salmon, which were delicious. To finish our meal, we ordered a perfect slice of NY cheesecake.
We are excited to return to try other items on the menu soon.
I came here for Restaurant Week and didn't eat the special. Instead, I had the happy hour fish and chips and the Seafood Alexander. The happy hour fish and chips was very good and a ton of food for a good price. The pasta was also really good and I was happy that I tried both. I definitely had food to take home. My waitress, I cannot remember her name but she was a amazing. For her to be working multiple sections she did a great job at being attentive. For a drink I had the Black Manhattan and it was very good. Will definitely visit again, I can see why happy hour is busy. There is also outdoor seating. Cute area for date night.
I was in Alexandria for corporate travel and decided to dine at Whiskey & Oyster. This was my first time visiting. I sat at the bar because I loved the seating layout and decor. It was the perfect decision. There was plenty of space or "arm room" to relax while ordering and then eating. The bar service was great! I ordered the panseared salmon, with coconut rice and black beans(the best side item I've had in a while. I would love to have a similar recipe) and sweet potato fries. It was very satisfying and exceeded my expectations.
Came here on a Saturday at 2pm with an hour left for brunch. Atmosphere is nice and the wait staff is attentive and informative. We started with the Oysters Rockefeller which was really good. The oysters are fresh so there is still the salt water(?) in there underneath the melted hollandaise, spinach and bacon. The calamari are good but the batter is greasy, which isn’t a problem until you eat a lot of them. Definitely still worth it. The classic lobster roll has a good amount of lobster on it. The sidewinder fries are thick and you get a good portion as well. The only disappointing thing was the burger. The bun was thick, the veggies fresh, but the patty was burnt and very small in comparison to everything else. We got the blueberry/lavender/sage(?) mimosa which comes with 2 fresh blueberries and the cranberry mimosa which has two fresh cranberries. The cranberry one was tart but delicious. The “Virginia is for lovers”’flight is STRONG. All and all would definitely come back here again. There is parking right in front of the restaurant but if you can’t get it there is garage parking around the corner
Lucked out in making reservations in the middle of happy hour! Happy hour runs Monday through Friday 3 to 6 with great specials.
Food was delicious! Flaky, tasty fish & unique chips. Oysters & mussels were the perfect celebratory dinner.
Our server provided lots of helpful information about the types of oysters. She asked if we were military and then proceeded to thank us for our service and applied a discount. The server’s support team (pooled tips) provided efficient, friendly service. Clearing the table promptly, delivering more bread & explaining which oysters were which on the platter. Also offering beer samples & quick refills.
Comfortable seats, nicely spaced in a cool setting with festive decorations and a rolling ceiling rack of booze.
Street parking was readily available when we arrived at 5 o’clock on a Friday.
If you’re looking for a reasonably priced restaurant for a special occasion or for just dining out, Whiskey & Oyster is your place!
My husband and I went at about 10pm. Let me start off with, the only items we found good were the appetizers. The Oyster Rockefeller was full of flavor and cheesy; and the Duck Spring Rolls were so good I could've just had that as my main course My husband and I both got the Caribbean Rockfish meal. In my opinion the fish itself was pretty good, but the beans and rice was not it. We got a dozen oysters, they were barely shucked. The spinach and squash/onions weren't too good either, lacking. The drinks were decent. My husband got an Old Fashioned and I got a Strawberry Margarita. The service was ok, again it was late, so that could've been it. Overall 6/10 (in my Keith Lee voice lol)
The food was subpar. The shrimp was chewy. The chicken was over cooked and dry. The waiter seemed a little spaced out. Asked for a few drinks and they never came.
