The food was absolutely delicious and the view is beautiful, but I expected more attentive service considering the caliber of this place. Our water glasses went dry and remained dry until we asked for a refill. And water was all we were drinking. Our server attended the table right next to ours three times before finally taking our payment so we could leave. She didn't even look in our direction for us to get her attention. Still, the fish tacos were some of the best I have had, and the oyster po boy was very tasty as well. Seating is mostly outside but even on a 90+ degree day, the breeze and shade made dining comfortable.Parking: Gravel parking lot behind and on one side.

The best oysters I've had in the rivah area yet. We chose the Olde Salt variety which were smooth and briny. Watching the sun set on the quiet harbor, we enjoyed their crab cake (which the waitress promised had "no fillers" and she didn't lie) and the steamed clams in a wine garlic broth. Both dishes were delicious and would only have been better if there were more of them! My only complaint is the appetizer of red pepper clam soup came out luke warm. I didn't have the heart to tell the waitress who was very sweet and efficient. It was the end of a long shift, after all, and everything else was divine, including my "sour beer" which grew on me over the course of the meal. We plan on returning for sure!Returned for another wonderful outdoor dining experience. This time had the shrimp and scallop ceviche which was nicely cured in lime juice and cilantro, balanced by salty tortilla chips. We chose to try half dozen Rappahannock oysters and half doz olde salt. Both were absolutely delicious. We still think these are the best oysters we've had in the area yet. Rappahannocks were very smooth and clean tasting and the old salt were perfectly briny. Love them! I had a lovely glass of Spanish fizzy white Txakolina wine. Took home a creamy slice of key lime pie for dessert. Happily ate it as a midnight snack, two forks, done in no time.

The oysters were incredible! Loved the oyster stew as well. The crab soup was way too spicy for us, but we were warned by the waitress, so that was on us. The scallops were tender, flavorful, and cooked for perfection. We can't wait to cone back during the warm weather! This place is a gem!

I cannot find a single fault with this place other than it’s waaaay far from our location but hey- it’s worth the drive. The serene and nature soaked view is something you’ll only find tucked out of the way.The location is beside a working oyster warehouse where you can watch oysterman bring in and clean the catch. It is also surrounded by the river making the views incredibly special. Watching boats come in to the little marina is relaxing.The servers are attentive and friendly. There is seating outside and inside the restaurant- all comfortable and spread out enough.We had the raw oysters- Rappahannocks and Salts and both were perfectly briny, fresh and accompanied by a great vinegary mignonette. We had ceviche with scallops and shrimp and a bowl of summer-fresh cucumber avocado gazpacho. Just a snack on our way home from a trip. We’ll come back and do more damage another time!Bought a couple of T-shirts and a hat with the oyster logo. It’s a great place.

This place is in the middle of nowhere and it’s completely worth the drive. I could’ve spent the whole afternoon just looking at the beautiful view and relaxing. The food is mostly small plates and you can order a variety of things and get a sampling of different seafood. It is very seafood focused and the oysters are incredibly fresh. The one dish that disappointed a little bit was the red pepper crab soup the red pepper overpowered everything and you didn’t really get the taste of the crab!

Here several times over a weekend. The views are what you'd hope for. The staff, is excellent, conscientious, quick and caring.As for the food, on average, it's excellent. Their oysters are standard, great. The other options are from creative to expected. If you're in the area, this is an absolute stop.

Our family went here for Easter Sunday lunch. The food was excellent, the service couldn't have been any better. We would all recommend everyone to go to Merroir Tasting Room, on the water, for a excellent dinner experience. You will love it!Parking: Our group had 3 vehicles an we had no problem with parking.

Best kept secret in the area. Food was very fresh and cooked perfectly. Right on the water with beautiful views. I had the crab cake & steamed shrimp. Husband had the raw rap oysters. He said they were so good he had to get a second dozen. It is mostly outdoor seating but with that view who would want to sit inside?! It was a little pricey but totally worth it. Dog friendly outside. We will definitely be coming back!

At Merroir, they serve their own cultured oysters in a rustic setting. Some really refined cooking which equals the good at high end restaurants. Wonderfully fresh raw oysters on the half shell and who knew that you could make Oysters Rockefeller into a dip! Really delicious! The service was a bit inattentive, but still good enough as ther good is totally worth it. Very nice dessert as well. While we ate indoors, the door was open and the outdoor seating area is spacious with a nice view. Definitely a great stop along the Virginia coast.

Take note that we visited on Father's Day, and we are not big seafood eaters.This place is worth the view! AMAZING gem of a place that is found at the end of a well-paved cow path road that the neighbors are probably tired of ALL that traffic.We arrived at about 545 pm and chose the 'no-wait' porch instead of the 'wait' view. The servers were GREAT but str--etch--ed thin for the number of customers (remember Father's Day). The kitchen was BACKED UP per several servers' apologies.Right away, we choose the naan/ baguette starter and our meal choice, burgers & chips. Starter was simple and delish (cut breads & garlic butter - more garlic, please!). Meal choice was a standard burger of fresh ingredients with a side order of chips.We left at 700 pm. Fifteen minutes was us eating, and the rest of the time was waiting.I highly recommend this place, but on beautiful days, maybe order through their online option and take it to the picnic tables (outside of the restaurant's 'outside eating area' that are right next to the water! Of course, if you are a huge oyster & alcohol cosumer, enjoy the wait and consume to your heart's content. It seems to be worth it for those Rappahannock Oysters (interesting reading online)!!Parking: If you're lucky to park near the restaurant, kuddos to you-os, and if you're not, good luck-os!Kid-friendliness: Saw several kiddos and doggos!

Merroir was very pleasant. They were very accommodating for our little family as we had a 92 year old and a 2 year old. We sat at a lovely comfortable table outdoors in a setting of oyster shells, fresh air & water views. Plenty of room to walk around and have a beverage while perfect wait to dine on the finest local seafood offered on Virginia's tidewater region ! Thank you very much for the awesome dinner and amazing service. The oysters & scallops were wonderful along with everything else. Thank you.

Hidden gem of an establishment, was referred here by a friend and what a treat it was. With everything going on in the world we were told food had to be taken "to-go", little were we explained that "to-go" simply meant walk your food from the order window out to the breathtakingly beautiful outside eating area. Even if you were to sit out and have a glass of wine, or the mildly over priced beer, those views were absolutely still worth the price.Food was sincerely delicious, had the shrimp and grits, dozen oysters (forgot the flavor), and the tuna tacos. Only qualm of the entire experience was the size of the portions, in my opinion they were a bit small, but a other than that really no complaints and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

A very good surprise, the place is amazing , a 180° panoramic view of the river, and a nice terrace. You can sit outside now, because the covid, but is much better, they have a terrace with tables or you can use the picnic tables on the grass. The food can be ordered online and its ready when you arrive there. We did that and was easy. Tuna Tacos.... Shrimps...and Grill Fish. Amazing.Is a pet friendly place then you can go there with you little friend. Outside food is not allowed, and you can't fish on the docks... you will want... hahaha, but you will forget it later. And just will enjoy the food, view and accompany.

It was a very hot and busy afternoon but the service and our food was exceptional. I appreciate the time and attention that the wait staff gave us along with the cooking staff. It must have been a challenge for them but they stayed pleasant with all. Merroir is a very special place to us and that is why we drove across Virginia to spend part of our anniversary weekend with them.

I loved it! Nice selection of oysters as expected. Mignonette is the best way to dress the raw oysters in my opinion. Had the salad with smoked cobie which was excellent as well. Steamed shrimp were from NC and were perfectly done with the mild seasoning. The draft beer selection was quite good on my visit. The wine list appeared to be a good match for the food. Service was prompt and the waitress knew the answers to questions about the source of the food. Outside seating area is really nice with a wonderful view. This is a perfect day destination.

Beautiful sweeping views, delicious food, friendly staff. We tried all of the starters and were not disappointed. I think our fav were the bbq chipotle oysters. We ordered ‘em twice. Give the crab cakes a try too.

We travelled to the Chesapeake Bay area to find authentic local cuisine and this was the best example we found over the weekend. Friendly attentive service combined with an appetizing menu to provide an excellent all round experience at great value. Highly recommend the Lamb and Clam stew and the Shrimps and Grits. Don't forget to try the BBQ Oysters to start the meal.
