Wanted a fish dinner for my birthday…read more I give it 4 and not 5 stars because the service after our dinner before our dessert got extremely slow and the desserts were good, not excellent. We started with drinks at the tiny bar. The drinks were quite good. The restaurant is tiny with a very cute three chair bar. It is decorated with items made by the owner. She is very personable and seems to take pride in the fish she buys and serves. Before dinner, they present you with two tiny corn muffins. A nice little touch. We had the octopus appetizer that was probably among the best we've ever had. It was cooked perfectly. My friend had the scallops and said they were quite good, but a tad undercooked, and the sauce was delicious. I had the Bronzino and it was delicious served with grilled zucchini. The sauce was excellent. For desert, my friend had the Affogato, which he said was just good not great. I had the Keylime parfait. The Keylime itself was quite good, but the crust was just a little off. (I was hoping for a candle in my dessert to get a birthday wish as I had noted in the reservation it was my birthday dinner, but alas, no candle. No biggie, but that would've been a nice touch.)

Joes Seafood is our go to for celebratory dinners. You can never go wrong with coming to Joes…read more The food is always good and the service keeps us coming back. Last night we celebrated our wedding anniversary. We have a fav booth that we request when making our reservations and it's always ready when we arrive. The Bartender Brandon is just the best!! When he's working we know it's going to be an awesome experience. People will always remember how you make them feel!!! & Joes gets it every time. Whether you're coming to watch a game, perfect date night, GNO...family dinner...birthdays...anniversaries...whatever the reason....you can't go wrong with coming here. Already looking forward to the next time :)) Happy Yelping!

Back again for Happy Hour after several years. It was mostly an excellent experience…read more The bartenders were friendly, helpful, and efficient. Food was excellent. I was going to give a 5-star rating, but then I noticed on the menu that Joe's participates in the 3% "operating expenses surcharge" scam. Instead of openly raising prices so patrons can easily compare them between restaurants, the 3% goes in the small print at the bottom of the menu. Regardless of what they claim about dealing with rising costs, this sneaky 3% goes into the pockets of the owners as profit. Patrons are given the option to ask for this surcharge to be removed from their bill. They should do so and complain loudly about this practice. Several other high end DC restaurants have stopped running this scam after sufficient protest from patrons.

The restaurant is nice and airy, with minimal but charming decorations. I couldn't tell how noisy…read moreit gets because there weren't many customers when we were there for brunch last week, which is too bad as the food is really good and not unreasonably priced. We had the very large breakfast burrito and the garden vegetable shakshuka. Both were excellent; delivered hot and were well seasoned. The coffee is strong but not acidic. The servers were very helpful and attentive, and responsive to requests for additional items. I would definitely return again for a meal before a play at Arena stage or otherwise.

One of my new friends lives at the Wharf so there is literally something to do all day, every day!…read more Fish Shop was in my bookmarks and I had mentioned this a few times but never came. He literally picked everything around the Wharf but this place. One morning after getting his boat docked, before heading this is condo, I said let's go to Fish Shop. I guess I know why he never wanted to come. The place is never packed and I know why. We got a few things for brunch and the fish came out raw. Charbroiled Oysters were good. I wouldn't return. They need a better menu and the food needs to be memorable. One and done for me. Ambiance is nice! Date night worthy at least to try.

I almost don't want to reveal this place because it's just that good especially in the summer time…read more I saw this place on social media and wanted to try it instantly with some friends. My friend got the New England clam chowder, which she loved. I got the lobster roll and hush puppies and shared the fish nuggets. Everything was outstanding and I would come back in a heartbeat. My friends and I came here on a random Wednesday so it was not very busy for the time of day. We were promptly greeted by staff and provided with suggestions. They were so so friendly and offered any sauces, as we asked (I'm forgetting if the sauces were extra or not). The place is quite small so it will get crowded but it is so so worth it. Definitely come here if you love seafood and lobster rolls.

Service was top notch. Every employee encountered was friendly and helpful…read more Lobster roll was delicious. Worth it!! Will be back again soon

It has been years since I have eaten at Hank's. Too long really. But we wanted some seafood and…read moretheir Dupont location was close so - off we went. We were seated immediately and the dining room is adequate. Sufficiently decorated to make it okay. It is furnished for maximum occupancy which is fine. Think casual place, almost bar with food, not fancy at all. I do not mean for this to be a negative comment. Hank's presents itself as more of a beachside joint, not a high end seafood restaurant. Each of these sorts of restaurants has a place in the spectrum. Our waiter - Keith or Kevin - I'm so sorry but I cannot remember his name - was GREAT! Funny, good at his job, great personality and helpful. He started out with a corny, but cute, joke and he kept getting better all night. The manager too was quite good, professional and friendly. What a great staff! The food is good. I could talk about the lobster bisque (a bit on the strong side) or the flounder (a bit on the salty side). But, honestly, the food was good and I enjoyed it a lot. I did not complain about any of it nor do I think a complaint was necessary. So, as I said before, it had been years since I had last eaten at Hank's. But it won't be that long anymore. I recommend Hank's for a casual seafood meal.

This is my first time being in the new Union Market area…read more I came here with another fellow Yelp Elite :) I ordered steak and frites from their dinner menu. I ordered it medium rare, but they brought it out well done. They made me a new one immediately and this time it was correctly done. I really appreciated that and love their professionalism and customer service! I also had their Coal Roasted Cajun Butter Oysters which were ok. My favorite was the Hamachi Crudo...wow amazing and delicious! I would def come back here again! Street parking is limited so plan accordingly in this popular area!

Good food, good service…read more It was very odd that they brought me a just a candle for my birthday. That's a first. Did the one thing that always drives me crazy when the tip is placed on top of food and tax. That is not the way gratuity should be assigned. If I give you 25% you are now getting 27% which feels a little bit like cheating to me.

Fried Crab Ball -- 8.5/10 The ball was packed with crab meat--just deeply satisfying. I did carryout, and the price came to about $66 per person after tax. The food was worth the price. It was very busy. I was there on a Saturday around 4:45 p.m., and there was already a crowd. There wasn't much service, though. It's definitely a foodie spot with no frills. I gave it four stars mainly because I grew up in a coastal city and have had better seafood before.

The idea of hitting crabs with a hammer to get to the delicious meat sounds like fun in practice. And it is actually very fun. I recommend getting at least a large crab to make the smashing and cracking worth it. If you're not into hitting crabs, the crab cakes are a delicious and filling alternative with plenty of crab alright pre crushed for you. It's a super fun laid back place with good food and reasonable prices. Not really much more to ask for here. Just make sure not to wear white!

There's plenty of seating around the mini fire pits or at the bar in the middle. Service was pretty quick and attentive. We ordered a few options to share - chef's special for oysters, red snapper ceviche, rockfish tartare & baked pimento crab dip and washed it all down with Lychee Paloma's. An all seafood feast, fresh and well prepared. No complaints! They're pretty generous with their happy hour too - M-TH 4-6p / Fri 12-6p. If you want all the makings of fine dining cuisine with a more than casual dining atmosphere, then this is the place for you.
