    Our only (minor) disappointment was that we had mentioned we were celebrating a birthday when we made the reservation and the restaurant did not acknowledge that whatsoever

    This is one of my favorite restaurants. Fresh seafood daily. And wonderfully prepared. Wait staff is exceptional. If you like seafood, this is the place to go. EZ parking as well.

    Go to place for seafood! Oysters were plump and tasty (and on special too). Love the options for entrees and sides. We had cod southern style. Full bar and decent wine selection. Server Merlin is knowledgeable and hustles!

    An EXCELLENT choice for seafood dining in the DMV. This very unassuming restaurant in a strip mall serves a wide variety of delicious seafood with flair and flavor. The service is professional and friendly. Our server, Ronnie, was attentive and took time to explain how chef prepares some of the dishes. There is also a robust beer and wine list with affordable prices. One of our FAVORITE restaurants!

    The name of the restaurant implies the is seafood centric, which it is. The menu is broad, though, with a variety of appetizers, mains, many different kinds of fish and shellfish prepared different ways, pastas with and without fish, salads, and a couple meat dishes. We ordered the Chesapeake oysters, which were less expensive than the premium but not flavorful. One person had the shrimp and chicken pasta, which was good. Several had the wild swordfish, with different sauces (one can choose the sauce and two sides). Two teenagers shared the lobster tacos. We also shared the crab stuffed mushrooms, which were very good. In season, I have had the soft shell crabs, which are fried, but large and excellent. The choice of beverages is adequate -- only two draft beers, several white wines by the glass, which were acceptable, soft drinks, and some cocktails and mocktails. The service was good through delivery of the food but then not as attentive. For example, I wanted another glass of wine, and we had to call to the server for the wine. The quality of the food is good. I find the ambiance acceptable but not cosy. I certainly will return there, Primarily I would like the ambiance to feel somewhat more intimate than it does. There are a couple booths but otherwise it is only tables lined up, without cloths. Nothing to make the environment warm and especially inviting -- but not off-putting either. Focus on the large menu and the quality of the food and preparation.

    Everything was very satisfactory. We were seated immediately, and the server was knowledgeable and friendly. The appetizer came quickly and was hot and delicious. Dinner was excellent, we will be back soon.
