The OYSTERS XO Residency
From Tide To Rooftop
Golden hour on the Potomac, a chilled glass in hand, and the skyline unfolding in every direction. Rooftop season means seasonal cocktails, light bites, and long evenings above DC. Oysters XO will be joining our Golden Hour Music Series on Fridays. Along with a super fun Polaroid experience. See you at the top. 6pm to 10pm. Saturdays live DJ from 6pm to 10pm.
Light Bites
Light Bites
An all-new shareable menu this season, suited for a long evening above the city. With 360-degree views from the rooftop, our menu is a nod to ‘Waterfront Being the Only View,' featuring a vibrant selection of light bites featuring flatbreads, crispy chicken with mumbo glaze, whipped feta, and of course, caviar and chips.Â
