Fontaine's Oyster House

First time trying this place was on my birthday 12/9 and I’m so happy I did. The food and service was amazing. Our waitress was Reggie and when I tell you she is top tier. She was very attentive and made very good recommendations when we couldn’t decide what we wanted. If haven’t visited this spot you should. You definitely won’t regret it. ❤️

Valet parking was quick and easy. We were seated right away at a booth. The food was hot and had plenty of flavor in it. The drinks weren't overpriced either! The service was good as always and it's a plus that they don't automatically add gratuity to the bill.

A very nice patio for outdoor dining in Virginia-Highland. Fontaine's Oyster House is a casual spot to grab a nice meal and cocktails. The patio is in the rear of the building but is decorated nicely with lots of beautiful plants. The oysters were fresh, and the food was good - we had a catfish basket, a grouper basket, and the shrimp and grits. Two things per the New Orleans food snob in me: 1 - the gumbo is described as tomato based (hmmm...) so I went with the Lobster Bisque instead, and 2 - the shrimp & grits had tail-on shrimp (why?).
