Executive chef Autumn Cline didn’t have to look far to find inspiration for her latest project, the Rappahannock Oyster Bar at the Wharf development. The restaurant overlooks the Washington Channel, sits among historic seafood stands in the Maine Avenue Fish Market, and resides in a restored oyster shed that dates back to 1912.
“I wanted it to feel like an oyster house on the water, and all the dishes reflect that,” she says.
