OysterBrine and Wine Coming to the Capitol Riverfront!

 

Forest City Washington has recently announced that Navy Yard Oyster Company, an oyster and wine bar, is set to open in the Capitol Riverfront in spring 2015! The new oyster and wine bar is the second joint project by founders of Beuchert's Saloon and Sonoma Restaurant & Wine Bar.

The restaurant will occupy a 1,887 square foot space on the south side of the historic Lumber Shed building at The Yards, featuring stunning views of the southeast waterfront and Yards Park.
The menu at  Navy Yard Oyster Company is inspired by the waters of the Chesapeake and the Mid-
Atlantic foodshed, and the ingredients will reflect the partners' well-established commitment to sourcing seasonally and locally. The menu will also feature an extensive by-the-glass wine list, classic cocktails, and locally-focused beer for fans of DC and regional breweries.

The Navy Yard Oyster Company will serve lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch in a laid back but elegant environment. With the signing of The Navy Yard Oyster Company in the Lumber Shed there is now only one remaining restaurant unit available in the building.
