The Urban Oyster Presents: The Low-Country Experience

Join Chef Jasmine at The Urban Oyster for an evening that captures the essence of Low-Country cuisine—where coastal flavors, soulful techniques, and seasonal ingredients come together in perfect harmony. This four-course dinner is a refined celebration of warm hospitality and bold, comforting dishes inspired by the land and sea. Expect a journey of layered flavors: from tender shellfish and aromatic rice to slow-simmered vegetables, smoky spices, and just a hint of heat.

Each course is thoughtfully paired with wines that elevate and complement the menu’s rich textures and savory depth. With every bite, guests are invited to experience the heart of Low-Country cooking—rustic yet elegant, familiar yet surprising. Whether it’s the first sip of a crisp white with fresh oysters or the final notes of something sweet and slow, this is a dining experience meant to linger.

Each seating is an intimate experience, only limited seats available.

About Chef Jasmine:

Chef Jasmine grew up in Baltimore, MD and discovered her love for oysters at the tender age of seven. She was introduced to them by her father, with whom Jasmine would regularly enjoy eating oysters with. Her father also taught her to how shuck them very shortly after. 

Her love for adventure and passion for food sparked the creation of her first restaurant concept; The Urban Oyster. Jasmine’s goal is central to her business: to introduce oysters to friends, family and peers who were apprehensive about the texture of raw seafood, specifically oysters.

In 2017, Jasmine opened the first female, Black owned oyster bar in the United States, The Urban Oyster. Her restaurant represents various things; it's a movement for those who prefer quality food in a relaxed and less pretentious atmosphere.

Shortly after opening its doors, The Baltimore Sun nominated Jasmine’s cream of crab soup for the best in the city and in 2019 the restaurant was dubbed The Best Raw Bar by the Baltimore Magazine.

At the height of a global pandemic in 2020, Jasmine opened her second restaurant, The Urban Burger Bar, and quickly received the Best Burger nomination within a few short months after opening. Jasmine was named to the 25 Women To Watch by The Baltimore Sun in both 2019 and 2021. She has competed on Food Network’s Guy’s Grocery Games and Chopped. She has also been featured on the Cooking Channel for The Urban Burger Bar. In 2021, she created her very own private label of oysters, Ice Aprons™️ slated for distribution in 2024. 

Jasmine’s love of community and food inspires each concept that she creates
