From a press release:
“Co-owners Aaron McGovern and Arturas Vorobjovas are proud to announce the expansion of Brine Oyster and Seafood House to Kalorama/Dupont with the grand opening of “Brine Dupont” scheduled for Friday, February 3, 2023. Brine Dupont takes over the corner space located at 1800 Connecticut Ave, NW. This will be Brine’s second location in the district.
Brine opened on H Street, NE in summer 2020 and quickly became beloved by seafood lovers and oyster afficionados thanks to a list that includes selections from the east and west coasts of North America and other regions of the world, and a happy hour special of $1 off all oysters from 5-7PM on weeknights and all night on Tuesdays. Brine recently won “Best Raw Bar” in Washington City Paper’s Best of DC 2022 Readers’ Picks.
The menus and specials will differ slightly at Brine Dupont, but guests can expect the same excellent quality of food and service at both. Brine Dupont will feature weeknight food and drink specials, whole Maine lobsters available daily, a fresh catch of the day and of course, plenty of oysters. While the options will be heavy on surf, diners can also enjoy a little bit of turf with the inclusion of a burger and a steak on the menu. Adorned with nautical artwork and décor, Brine Dupont has 47 seats inside in two dining rooms and an intimate bar and high-top area, and 7 seats outside at two tables in a street-facing private patio.
Reservations for the grand opening and future dates will go live via Resy on Monday, January 30.”
