In early January we learned that King Street Oyster Bar planned to open a new location in Park Potomac. They’re best known for serving over 10 varieties of oysters each day. In addition they offer a raw seafood bar, sandwiches, salads, seafood entrees, and more.


2020 has been a difficult year for restaurants. A few weeks ago we released a list of restaurants that have closed since March 17th.(not necessarily due to Covid, but since the day the initial restrictions were put in place).

These tournaments are a fun way to shine a little light on local restaurants.⁣ We urge you to support your favorites and consider refraining from badmouthing any restaurant.⁣⁣ Voting takes place in the @TasteMoCo Instagram story, and each round lasts for 24 hours.
