wonderful 21st birthday!. we had 12 guest for dinner last night where all had a great time from 10 years to mid 50's. the 21 year old enjoyed all the raw oysters (which were huge) he could eat, on to the shrimp bisque (still craving 1 more bite) to the muffaletta sandwich. oh i forgot the creamy peanut butter pie the waitress surprised him with. oops did i mention the very reasonable priced beer???
awesome time by all. and my bill was less than $150.. remember there were 12 eating.. we will be back very soon!

not what i expected. we viewed the menu online and had decided on what to get, but when we get there, some of the items were not on there. then when you order a seafood basket, it does'nt come with fries. for $14 for 3 shrimps and 4 oysters without a side is not good. i rather take my money to bay breeze when you can get a big platter of food and sides for the same price.

hubby and i stopped here just for drinks and oysters on the padio, planning to get dinner after -somewhere a little less casual. as we gawked at others entrees going by, we decided to stay for our main course. omg the food far exceeded expectations, my sides (even the kale greens ) were to die for! highly recommend!!!

go for the soups. fontaine’s is an oyster bar in the popular virginia-highlands area. they have different food specials most nights of the week.

we were there on the night that half price snow crab is offered. we had the snow crab which was fine and seemed very fresh.

the cocktails were good, but not remarkable enough to get the recipe.

the highlights were the soups. the lobster bisque and the oyster stew were both wonderful and great on a cold day.

i’ve always liked the atmosphere inside fontaine’s oyster bar as it reminds me of an old-timey beach bar where sailors might hang out. of course sailors don’t hang out there, as far as i am aware, but they do serve up some delicious seafood, and especially delicious oysters. the inside seating section is not very large, and the bar takes up most of the room.  it’s pretty dark inside even though they have nice windows opening up at the front of the restaurant.  i prefer to sit outside because it’s much more spacious, and even in the winter they heat the outside seating area. they recently got rid of their smoking policy, so there is no smoking in the bar at any time.  this makes the restaurant much cleaner and more kid friendly.  you can still tell it’s been smoked in for the past 30 or more years. on the weekends, fontaine’s oyster bar becomes a happening spot, and you can find a bar full of twenty somethings imbibing delicious cocktails.  if you haven’

pros: unbelievable crab le.... pros:
unbelievable crab legs! not usually an oyster fan but they are great here too. service is good.

cons:
drinks are hit or miss (as it relates to potency) and the tables are too small for the copious amount of crab legs i like to enjoy here. the wait for setting can be tough too

even though the po’ boy here at fontaine’s oyster house are fantastic, the oysters here comes with a fantastic price tag but the uncleanliness of it is a major turnoff. hopefully they will do a better job at cleaning oysters in the future.

solid seafood & great atmosphere. this place was once again satisfying. the seafood was fresh and tasty, the happy hour prices were great (50% off snow crab legs & raw oysters) and the atmosphere was alive and well. always a solid spot around the emory neighborhood
