We really enjoyed starting our dinner with happy hour, which offers a nice selection of drinks and appetizers. The real highlight here, though, is the fresh seafood! The steamed blue crabs were absolutely the star of the meal. They were seasonal male crabs, incredibly fresh, and full of solid meat. The large crabs were quite impressive in size, too! It is hard to find restaurants in Northern Virginia that serve fresh blue crabs this delicious, so this was a real treat. We also ordered the spiced shrimp, which was very fresh and flavorful. The Alaskan king crab legs were pretty good as well, with several clusters included in the order, making it a generous portion. The margaritas were really good, and we ended the meal with the peanut butter pie for dessert. It was absolutely delicious and the perfect way to finish our dinner! Overall, if you are looking for fresh seafood, especially seasonal steamed blue crabs in Northern Virginia, this restaurant is definitely worth checking out. We really enjoyed our meal and would come back for the crabs and that delicious peanut butter pie!

It came with a hot marinara sauce. It was delicious. My mother ordered broiled flounder with baked potatoes and salad. I ordered make my own 3 items which included fried Soft shell crab, fired scallops and crab cake with sides of baked potatoes and onion rings. All dishes came with hush puppies. My sister had fried oysters. They said the broiled flounder had no taste. I liked all my dishes though the crab cake was saltier for me than I normally like. They give you all sorts of sauce and special butter for the baked sweet potatoes. The waitress was really nice and came back and refilled my soda a lot. It's an old restaurant and the ambience is lots of people come here for seafood. Considering it's not close to any sea, it's pretty good. I forgot to take photos to share. When we left around 6:30 the parking lot was full and people were waiting for tables.
