Rappahannock Oyster Bar This East Coast transplant lures patrons to its remodeled warehouse in the ever-improving ROW DTLA development deep in downtown with plump Chesapeake Bay-farmed bivalves, burgers slathered in secret sauce, brunch, and almost a dozen beers on tap. The grade-A people-watching from the two-piece corner patio, especially during the Sunday Smorgasburg market, is an added draw. Low blackened steel and wire fences partition off diners from the general public while umbrellas and trees provide heat relief, which allows lookie-loos to linger longer.
