    Fried flounder, onion rings and coleslaw
    Apearl C.

    Decided to order food from here while visiting the Wharf. When we arrived they were moving really slow. One guy taking and packing orders plus one cook in the kitchen. Waited about 10 minutes with one person in front of me to order. After we ordered another guy came out to assist the order taker. They give you a physical ticket of your order to hold with a number on it they call when your food is ready. We ordered a slice of carrot cake and two platter... fried fish, fries, and mac & cheese plus fried flounder, onion rings, and mac & cheese. When we were called up for our order we were told they were out of mac & cheese. We got hush puppies and coleslaw instead. Everything was delicious! The cake was like 7 layers and the icing was too sweet. Could not eat much of it. It was a waste of money. Unique spot... not your typical restaurant. No seating. With all the construction going on it is a great grab and go option with the 45 minute parking in the connected lot.

    a tray of fried shrimp and french fries

    The fried shrimp was delicious and fresh! The amount for the price was really good too. Im not sure why the other reviews here were bad. Good overall experience! Service was really fast. Recommend mixing the hot sauce with the tartar sauce

    Adsolutely delicious deep-fried goodness. Had the seafood combo with oysters shrimp mac n' cheese and hush puppies. Really hit the spot.

    Banana Cake

    Located at the Maine Avenue fish market, Evans Brothers Seafood is not to be missed. And how could you? They have a dessert window where they are constantly putting out sample slices of their delicious cakes and pies. I have sampled the vanilla cake with strawberries, chocolate cake, cheesecake and pecan pie cheesecake. The vanilla and chocolate cakes while tasty were a bit dry. The ultimate cake is the banana cake with cream cheese frosting. The layers have slices of banana in between. The cake is huge and for $25, well-priced. The slices they give out are ample enough that you really don't need anything else but it's just so good you gotta take one home. We were cake tasting beasts that day. Delicious!

Not the prettiest things either--rusty, ugly little shells--but don't let that fool you. Honeyyyy, they were sweet, juicy, and packed with meat! I absolutely indulged with zero regrets. And let's talk about that butter I ordered on the side... whew! That just took everything over the top. Shoutout to the guys at Jesse Taylor--they did their thing!

It's fun, and for seafood lovers, it reminds us that the capital has more than politics to offer. Just fresh seafood of all kinds, cooked to order. Pick a standing table and eat, right on the Potomac riverbank. The prices are a bit higher, but for the experience, tourists can afford. We had the Maryland Crab Soup, New England Clam Chowder (best ever!) and 1lb of Jumbo Shrimp ($26/lb) before hoping on the Water Taxi nearby for a sightseeing tour to Georgetown and back. I wish they build a hand washing station and have a few vending machines for beverages, then this will be a modernized seafood spot operated since 1939.

I tried the lobster roll ($39) and Cajun Branzino ($49) and both were good. The lobster roll was Maine-style -- cold with mayo -- which is not my preferred style, but it was still pretty good. The side of fries were great -- crispy and well-seasoned. I liked that the lobster roll had a specific price on the menu and not just "MP." The branzino was also very good. Everyone else had good things to say about their dishes, which included the clam chowder, seafood linguini, and caesar salads. Service was good but uneven in spots; there were some nice touches, but also a few misses. For example, they poured the canned beer for us tableside and remembered a guest's birthday with a small slice of cheesecake (free). But, they forgot crackers to go with the clam chowder, didn't deliver dishes to the correct people, and were a few minutes late bringing the last entree after all the others had arrived. It was a busy night, but also they should be used to that. We sat in the back dining area and the ambiance was fine.

They just lit the candle and watched me lolol I like that the restaurant is by the water because you could watch the sun set. The photos reveal that we were here for a couple of hours because it progressively becomes more dim with the lighting. There was no rush for us to finish because our waiter made clear that there is no limit on how long we could be at the table. Food was great! Steven loved it more than I did, but I liked it, too. It was absolutely filling, even after our seafood tower as our first order. Recommend that you look on Reddit what they are known for because I forgot exactly what Steven ordered for us, but all really good selections that played a lot with seasoning combinations. Made for great leftovers for Steven! Drinks were also nice. Neither of us are big into drinking, but it tasted just fine in complement with the big meal that we had together. Highly recommend that you commute by public transit because the traffic was difficult. When you go to the restaurant, you got to go towards the water where the boats are, so you have to go through an alley way. Be safe when you go there!

We ordered the croquette appetizer, Red Snapper, Branzino, Artichoke and Potato Bravos. The artichoke dish was amazing, the fish perfectly prepared, maintaining the tender flakey texture with a hard sear on the skin. For those not accustomed to DC $$$$prices, will suffer from shock. The quality and experience are well worth the drain on your bank account. Reservation highly recommended. The only negative appears to be the front desk, who appear to have a difficult time figuring out what table to seat you at. We had a great server and were greeted by one of the General Managers. Very good price/value relationship in the upper price range category

At the time of booking, we were charged a prepaid amount of over $190. However, when we dined at the restaurant, the final bill did not deduct this prepaid amount, and we were charged the full price again. After realizing this, we contacted the restaurant. We were told to send an email explaining the situation, which we did two weeks ago, followed by another email one week ago. To date, we have received no response at all. This is extremely frustrating. Not only were we effectively double charged, but the complete lack of follow-up or customer service is unacceptable. We expected much better from a restaurant of this caliber. At the very least, communication and basic billing accuracy should be handled properly.
