Absolutely delicious. I grew up on the coast and was very pleased with how fresh the fish was. The service was impeccable and the space is very pleasant. The prices will reflect the premium experience but if you want a great date night spot look no further. Highly recommend the raw bar, the cocktails, and the clam bellys.

We have been to their DC location many times. We had reservations and walked in. First words were we don’t have a table for you. So not a good start. We ended up in the tented area which was fine. The service was less than stellar. The wine list really needs some serious help. The mixed drinks were not that good either. The first two items I wanted they were out of. The next one was not available unless I ordered the restaurant menu. They capitulated on that one. The food for the most part was good. But the start and ordering was less than acceptable.

One of our favorite places to go, especially during Lent! Fresh seafood and lovely, attentive staff. I miss the lobster roll but we enjoyed oysters, shrimp, crab dip, and delicious clam chowder. We usually eat at the bar and the drinks are strong!
