Rappahannock - Richmond

On our way back to NC from NY we decided to spend an evening in Richmond and were told to check out Rappahannock for the oysters (not pictured). We started with the the shooters and champagne which paired really well. We followed that up with a dozen of their local oysters, and then the paella. Oysters were shucked to perfection! No grit or shell splinters and the perfect amount of brine accompanied. The Paella was abundant with shellfish and shrimp and seasoned well but

Excellent food everything was amazing. My wife and I really enjoyed eating here. From the appetizers to the main course everything was full of flavor no bland food at all. ???? The beer and whine selection was pretty great as well. We came for the oysters and they were fresh. We will definitely come back for more.

So far, one of only a handful of places in Richmond where I highly recommend and eat Oysters On the Half-Shell. 'Nuff said. During my visit, two options were available. The taste profiles were completely different (much appreciated) and I was able to split my order any way between them. The staff was courteous and welcoming. I will be returning, especially in months ending in R . Update: I visit in other months, too.

We made an impromptu stop here for oysters and it was excellent! We ordered both fresh oyster options, baked oysters and the oyster pearls which was so weird but so delicious and unique. We also ordered salads and a cheese plate which was also great but should come with crackers. Our server Brooke was stellar!

Oysters and drinks were fantastic. I had the grilled octopus and honestly, it wasn't prepared the best. Very chewy and it was overly salty. The other half had the brisket and it was decent. Service was phenomenal. Very friendly and attentive.
