Went near the end of April this year and had a great time. The drink menu had classics and several options that begged me to try them (not all at once). The food was delicious and they worked with us on selecting a good option for someone with a food allergy. We had such a great time and plan to go more after our busier summer passes.

For those who prefer what I deem 'Rappahannock light ', Rapp Session provides a more casual and intimate raw bar experience complete with retail options on the way out. The seafood tiered tray towers are a delightful way to present a variety of seafood with options for sharing including crab claws, oysters and shrimp. The cocktails are also great! It gives the feel of a country store tucked in an urban oasis.

I think these guys make some of the best cocktails in Richmond. And you can get the Rappahannock oysters without the fuss of actually going to the Rappahannock. Just walk in!

Serious raw bar for Virginia oysters. They are the best I've ever eaten. I suggest the draft beer selection needs a lower ABV hoppy pale ale like Stone's Go To IPA.
