Isn’t there something so magical about waterfront dining? The opportunity to gaze out over the water while you dine is one sure-fire way to enhance your experience. For some of the best waterfront dining in Virginia, we’d recommend trying Merroir. This gourmet oyster tasting room isn’t your traditional restaurant experience; the menu is limited and revolves mostly around oysters. True seafood fans wouldn’t have it any other way, though, especially when you experience the breathtaking views of the Chesapeake Bay. Here’s more on why you should plan a trip to Merroir.

Situated on the banks of the Rappahannock River near the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay awaits a delightful culinary destination: Merroir Tasting Room.
