The Walrus Oyster & Ale House derives its name from the The Walrus and the Carpenter poem by Lewis Carroll. The zany style of this poem symbolizes the restaurants's philosophy of having a good time at the riverside and basking in the warm sunlight, while enjoying raw oysters, crab and lobster dishes. Situated close to the Potomac River, it boasts trendy interiors and a patio with black and white, striped umbrellas. Savor items like Mustard Glazed Salmon with tomato-crab meat butter, Fried Oysters, Pan Seared Tuna Ratatouille and Slow Braised Beef Brisket served with red cabbage. The cocktails and chilled fruit drinks are ideal for a warm summer day and the craft beers will satisfy beer connoisseurs. There are also seafood baskets for takeaway and delicious offerings at the oyster bar.
