Review:
Public Fish & Oyster is the best place to enjoy fresh oysters in Charlottesville. Boasting large displays of oyster cans in a rustic, but modern space, the restaurant’s dazzling array of fresh oysters and clams are the central feature of the eatery, and a chalkboard showcases the daily specials. Oysters are offered in a range of styles from broiled and fried to stewed, and other seafood delights in the menu include classic lobster rolls, fresh fish, crab cakes, and a range of sides. Public Fish & Oyster offers specials like ‘Five Finds on Fridays, which involves a local chef or personality naming the best dish in town. The cuisine is accompanied by craft beers, casual wines, and classic cocktails, and the restaurant is open for dinner, seven days a week.
