50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Camp Springs

“A very good friend of mine introduced me to this place and I've been obsessed with it ever since. I can't stop thinking of the food here! The crab was very good.“

“My meal was awesome as always.“

“La Caj Seafood is definitely a vibe, great energy, good music, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to stay for “just one more drink.” Sherika made the experience even better. She was friendly, attentive, and knew exactly how to keep the drinks and good energy flowing without hovering. Her personality matched the room perfectly…fun, welcoming, and professional. Ask for Rika when you go; she understood the assignment! I so love this place 🫶🏽“

“I ordered the seafood bucket (shellfish) & a dozen oysters. The food was fresh and the portion size was well worth the price. The bartender Nia was very attentive to everyone for it to be such a large bar, and the drinks were well poured (if you know what I mean). I went on a weekday so the vibe was real laid back & mature. Definitely worth checking out at least once.“

“The homemade cake is the BOMB. Fish is always good! Staff is Excellent and friendly people!“

“Had a taste for chicken wings. It was good and crispy. The teller was nice but he was so into his phone that he was sitting behind the counter on the phone. I couldn't see him and he couldn't see the people come in. The other worker told him we were waiting and that's when we saw he was right there and when he came in view he had to get off the phone. It was decent but could be cleaned better or a face lift“

“This place is so fun if you love a variety of Asian foods, and this evening I happened to walk in on a fantastic live jazz band playing by the bar. Last time, we had Korean tacos and tempura, this time I’m having croffles, miso soup, and spaghetti. (I know it’s weird but it’s all so delicious)“

“Have eaten here 4 of 5 days visiting DC. Fantastic food and great service. Highly recommend!“

“The food was good and I have already recommended Moon Rabbit to others. That being said, we had the tasting menu and I wanted something with a little more of a kick a little more heat and maybe just a little bit more or an additional course.“

“Great food, great drinks, great atmosphere. It was a time!“

“My daughter and son-in-law treated me for my birthday and what a treat it was! From the birthday champagne treat to the special popcorn to the dessert and all meals in between—nothing disappointed. The food was delicious. Filet mignon prepared to perfection. Lamb chops, braised beef, shrimp—all delicious. The sides; I could go on. My husband also enjoyed his meal. Our particular teenaged granddaughter loved her chicken tenders. Even our 2 year old granddaughter enjoyed her kids meal. Definitely will return. This was our first time but it won’t be our last. And last but not least—our server, Micaiah, was the best. Her recommendations were on point. Top notch and so professional!“

“Thanks you so much #psychiczabaza“

“Dauphines is a good happy hour spot. The outdoor bar was mad busy but the vibe was terrific and you could enjoy music from the restaurant next door which was jamming. Marvin is one of the best bartenders in D.C. - kind, super attentive, made great suggestions. Despite the fact that our party was sitting in the courtyard area he bought our drinks over and took our food order. EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE. We ordered the devil eggs with crabmeat, shrimp cocktail, po boy sliders, raw oysters -- everything was tasty. A little pricey but worth it. Fun spot!“

“The Sea Bass was a total suprise. More often than not I am dissapointed when I order fish. Not the case here. The presentation was superb. The blend of flavors, textures and colors was an epicurean delight. Our waiter/bartender Damany was thoughtful, always on point without being intrusive. The whole experience was one worth repeating.“

“We (a group of out-of-towners looking for seafood) had the perfect experience at Hank's. We arrived around 6pm on a weeknight and were seated immediately. Our server was detailed, thorough, and thoughtful. Our drinks were delicious and the food was incredible. We shared their proprietary oysters and all loved them! Whenever I'm back in DC, I'll be returning for sure!“

“Came here for the first time for dinner and had an amazing experience! Our waiter Marlon was lovely and provided us with great food and drink suggestions. The service was top tier and everyone was great. Would definitely recommend coming here and will be back again!“

““Everything was delicious and fresh! The seafood tasted incredibly fresh, especially the fish, and every dish was beautifully presented. And the tamarind mezcal margaritas were absolutely amazing—definitely a must-try! Great place for a fun Mexican seafood experience. I’ll definitely be back!”“

“Friendly staff and delish food! Sitting on the rooftop was excellent too !“

“We loved having dinner so much on Friday night that we had lunch on Saturday! Lobster roll was delicious. Great selection of raw oysters. PEI mussels were the best! Service was on point. Friday night Ashley was great and sorry I didn’t get our great servers name on Saturday. Manager Ronald Vasquez was so personable and made us feel like regulars. Wish we lived a bit closer because we would be. Highly recommend!“

“Unreal 5 star arrive and food . I agree Michelin for sure“

“Returning to Washington from a France worn down by its own melancholy — a nation led by a presidential couple seemingly disconnected from l'esprit de grandeur — was a relief. The Monocle, nestled just a short pas de géant from Capitol Hill, felt like an antidote. Walking through its doors, I immediately felt transported, like one of the CIA operatives from Lioness Psy-Ops, covertly meeting allies in a safe haven of quiet luxury. Opened in October 1960 by Connie and Helen Valanos, The Monocle has seen more political deals sealed over its crab cakes than perhaps in the chambers of Congress themselves. As the Washingtonian noted, “The Monocle is a better restaurant than it’s given credit for,” serving dishes like “pan-fried Chesapeake Bay oysters baked in a light curry sauce” that feel like culinary diplomacy at its finest. What strikes one immediately is the duality of the space: half public house, half refined eatery. In the restaurant's more elegant quarters, I chose a glass of Sancerre, its mineral brightness pairing effortlessly with the signature crab cakes — plump, golden, and loaded with chair de crabe so sweet it could make a New Englander weep. A red wine-braised New York strip followed, its sauce reminiscent of the old-world simplicity one finds in France’s brasseries, yet undeniably American in its confident presentation. The maître d’, Nick Selimos — a fixture here for nearly three decades — greeted every guest with the kind of warmth that makes even the most hardened lobbyist feel comme chez soi. “There’s nothing more satisfying,” said John Valanos, the owner, “than having someone say, ‘We’ll come back ourselves.’” And come back they do — senators, staffers, and curious tourists alike. Sipping a digestif, I glanced at the black-and-white photos adorning the walls — Kennedy, Nixon, and other Washington titans. It’s said JFK dined here regularly during his Senate days. As The Washington Post humorously observed, "Intentions are spoken here, alliances formed, and deals sealed," all over dishes that balance simplicity and sophistication. Leaving The Monocle, I felt reconnected to the vibrancy of Washington, its pulse steadied by the legacy of places like this — where history, gastronomy, and a touch of joie de vivre blend into something unforgettable.“

“Hottest new seafood restaurant near DuPont Circle. Best Lobster Risotto I’ve had in my life! The Lobster Bisque was very creamy with large chunks of fresh meat. Topped it off with Key Lime Pie in a cup. The owners are very friendly and the service was excellent. Definitely a 5-star place!“

“The food was phenomenal. It is a great atmosphere and the customer service was outstanding! I’d recommend trying all the different type of oysters on the menu!“

“Absolutely incredible food with each course being better than the last. All flavours work well together to give the dishes something to be remembered. Service was fast and friendly and described what they dishes were when placed on table. Highly recommend this place and will be back often.“

“Fabulous meal! The food was excellent. We had a show at Constitution Hall and the staff was so accommodating. They made the food was out on time, check resolved quickly and a small cookie plate on the table before we raced out the door. What a fun night!“

“Jesse and I have been coming to this restaurant almost every day for the past month, and we always have an excellent experience. The food is consistently delicious, served quickly, and we’ve never had any issues. The service is outstanding, especially from Brayan and Mohama, who are always friendly and attentive. It has definitely become one of our favorite places. Highly recommended!“

“Ma and Eam are the best people u ever want to meet they showed nothing but respect and a lot of. Love in there food 5 stars sis“

“The food was great. However this is not the Milk and Honey location you should plan to sit and eat. It’s very small and got packed quickly. They took over 45 minutes to get my food out. Although y the food was great, the service is more like call to order and pick it up. They don’t even bring the food on a plate. You get it in a plastic container even if you are dining in.“

“FISH NEVER GREASY“

“I was introduced to The Capital Grille by dear friends who have been dining here for over 10 years, and after enjoying several dinners with them, I can confidently say that this restaurant never disappoints.

What truly sets this place apart is its remarkable consistency. From the valet and the warm welcome at the entrance to the exceptional food and attentive service, every detail is handled with care and professionalism. The entire experience is seamless from beginning to end.

A special recognition goes to Mustafa, whose outstanding service deserves to be highlighted. He is genuinely kind, welcoming, attentive, and professional. His attention to detail and dedication to making guests feel comfortable and well cared for truly elevate the dining experience. Hospitality at its finest!

The food is consistently outstanding, the atmosphere is inviting, and the level of service remains exceptional visit after visit. Whether you're enjoying dinner with friends, a casual evening out, or a romantic occasion, The Capital Grille is always a wonderful choice.

It's rare to find a restaurant that maintains such high standards so consistently, and that's exactly what makes this place special.

Thank you to Mustafa and the entire team for another wonderful evening. Looking forward to many more!“

“Amazing Steakhouse ?,,,,!!!!!! Incredibly delicious!!!! Quality in Every Way!!!!“

“Absolutely amazing experience at Seafood Boss! The food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The seafood was seasoned just right, and the portions were generous. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. The atmosphere was clean and comfortable, making it a great place to enjoy a meal. Definitely one of the best seafood spots around — highly recommend and will definitely be back!“

“Amazing lunch option with gluten free rolls.“

“Our experience at the Occidental last night was nothing short of extraordinary. From start to finish, every detail was executed with perfection. The menu showcased incredible range and creativity — the twin lobster tails were tender and sweet, the steak tartare was beautifully balanced, and the smoked pheasant under glass was a showstopper both in flavor and presentation. Each dish felt carefully crafted and elevated, yet approachable. The wine list was equally impressive — clearly curated with thought and depth, offering the perfect pairings to complement the meal without ever feeling overwhelming. Service was another highlight. Warm, attentive, and genuinely inviting, the staff struck that rare balance of professionalism without a hint of stuffiness, making us feel truly welcome. Though we couldn’t save room for dessert, it simply gives us the perfect excuse to return soon. The Occidental delivers a dining experience that lingers in memory — refined, flavorful, and utterly satisfying. Highly recommended!“
