Washington Platform Saloon & Restaurant

For me this place was a hidden gem...I am a seafood junkie at times and my love decided he would take me some where new. I've passed this place a lot being born and raised here but never tried it. We were seated away from people in a corner which was nice for social distancing and intimacy. Our waitress Annabelle was very kind, informative and attentive. Her suggestions were spot on. We got a few different items but the stars of the show were the cocktails, hush puppies, fresh Ceasar salad, crab mac n cheese and the snapper. Love the live jazz...it was a whole mood all by itself. I will be back again soon!

We ate here for the first time for their 22nd annual crab carnival and the food was nothing short of amazing. I got the crab bisque to go with my pasta and my husband had one sip of the bisque and said he was getting some of that to take home! The Alaskan King crab legs and the pasta Giovanni were awesome. Everyone at the table left full and extremely satisfied with the meal, service and atmosphere. Will 100% be back for more!

Went here for the crab carnival and was blown away by the flavor. The decor is intentionally old-fashioned as this is a historical site but the food is anything but dated. Perfect oysters started us off before a bevy of delicious crab dishes. Service was excellent, and we will be back; most likely before the month is out.

Their seafood is incredible, with probably the best oysters in the city! The vibe can get a little noisy on weekends because of the smaller, historic restaurant space, but the patio is great for nicer weather. Live jazz is a good time here as well. Check which food festival they're celebrating for the time of year you'll go!
