The food was exceptional—perfectly cooked steaks, flavorful sides, and desserts that were the perfect ending to a great night. An unforgettable experience all around.“

“Tried to order carryout from the 3-coure meal menu. Told that the items on the 3 course meal were not there. Tried to order filet of sole and salada da Horta. Seemed like bait and switch“

“Love Meiwah! Drove from Bethany Beach just for lunch.“

“Amazing! Always my stop in DC!“

“One of our staples every time we go to DC. Good food. Good service. Can't wait until next time. (Make sure you get the wings!!!)“

“This is a GEM!!! Intimate, lovely set up (2floors) Staff is extremely welcoming, attentive, knowledgeable and just Top Tier Service. We had 2 Lobster rolls with mayo (hold the lemon) and a shrimp pots boy oh and the Lobster bisque added lobster (i would've liked for the added lobster to be more whole pieces they gave us Lil pieces) overall this was a 10/10. Keep up the good work and thank you to the amazing staff that made it all possible. We will be back.“

“Very good and fresh seafoods“

“So flavorful. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. The dragon fruit margarita was amazing…10/10“

“Fun and cheerful vibes. There's a small selection of entrees you can choose from but all are carefully curated. The mochi waffle was very good and not overly sweet. The French omelette was tender but too salty. The tater tots were like normal tots and the dipping sauces were good. Good casual and fun place for friends and families.“

“One of the best places in Dc and right on the water!“

“Had a great Saturday night before a holiday party. Service at the bar was excellent. Four starts because the menu could use a few more vegetable options. Smoked fish dip was too creamy and that drowned the taste of the dish in the dip. Oysters were insanely good.

That said, cocktails and the bartender were excellent. Beautiful decor too.“

“Amazing great restaurant.“

“The food was extremely delicious, tasty with flavor. Whoever is cooking is putting their soul into making those dishes because it was so good that it made me want to visit Mexico. Next time we're in DC, we're definitely coming back.“

“only critique I would offer is that a spring soup described as having peas and greens and basil parmesan (i was imagining green) was really a tomato based vegetable soup with a few cut beans and peas thrown in. Tasty except i can't eat tomatoes so you should make that clearer in menu please. Server kindly removed the soup“

“Recommended, did not disappoint, had the Po Boy, very filling, parking can be a challenge, but overall, worth the travel.“

“Very nice spot on DC wharf ! The fish & chips of my wife and my lobster roll was excellent !“

“My daughter and I had an incredible dining experience at Hook & Reel Cajun Seafood & Bar, all thanks to our amazing waitress, Joanne! From the moment we sat down, she greeted us with a warm smile and an infectious energy that set the tone for the whole meal. Her patience was remarkable, especially when we had a few questions about the menu, and she offered insightful, accurate recommendations that truly made our meal memorable. Not only was she knowledgeable about the dishes, but her sense of humor made the experience so much fun! She was so personable, treating us like old friends rather than just customers. On top of that, her level of customer service was top-notch—attentive without being overbearing, and always checking in at the right moments. We truly appreciated the perfect balance of friendliness and professionalism she brought to the table, and it really elevated our time at Hook & Reel. My daughter and I will definitely be returning, and we’ll be hoping to see her again!“

“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!“

“A great experience, the food was delicious and you get a lot of it! Will definitely go again!“

“I recently dined at Eddie V's Prime Seafood and was thoroughly impressed! The crab-stuffed jumbo shrimp were a standout—plump, juicy, and topped with a golden panko crust, complemented by a creamy housemade remoulade sauce. The medallion filet mignon was cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful. The lump crab meat fried rice was a delightful side, rich and satisfying. The iceberg lettuce salad was crisp and refreshing, providing a nice balance to the meal. The service was exceptional, with attentive and knowledgeable staff who made the dining experience even more enjoyable. The ambiance was elegant yet comfortable, making it a perfect spot for a special evening out. I highly recommend Eddie V's for anyone looking to enjoy top-notch seafood and steak in a refined setting.“

“I took my teenage boys here on our last night in DC during spring break. The staff is absolutely wonderful, so friendly, kind, fun, energetic, and genuine. The food is completely amazing and all three of us loved everything we ate (scallops, filet, chicken) but it was very much the staff that made the experience so enjoyable. Highly recommended. Beautiful restaurant.“

“Great tasting gourmet fish sandwiches!!“

“We had a wonderful experience. Food was amazing and I highly recommend.“

“My friends and I went to Motorkat today after attending a play in Olney. Mikey was our server and was a stellar server. He was friendly yet professional. We came in with an appetite. We started with the smoked salmon and artichoke dip. The portion size was nice, and the chunky texture and flavor fit well with the Saltines. Next was the pistou salad, roasted sunchokes and the pork belly with creamy grits. The pistou salad was artfully plated and was soo good. The roasted sunchokes came with a miso ranch dressing and sesame seeds. It was so good and the mixed textures worked well. The pork belly sat on a bed of the creamiest grits I've ever had. The pork belly was tender, and the smoky tomatoes were a great paring and provided just enough acidity to cut through the richness of the dish. Still hungry, we ordered the flank cut short ribs and broccolini. The grilled broccoli were lighly tossed with chili garlic sauce, peanuts and basil. Divine. The flank cut ribs were Cumin scented and accented with a tart cucumber salad. They were fork tender and very flavorful. Our only disappointment was the scallion Pancake with pickled vegetables. We felt that overall then presentation was nice, but the Pancake was a bit thick and was a bit charred on the bottom. The pickled vegetables overpowered the pancake.. Out meal ended with mango sorbet. Overall, we loved the service Mikey provided, and all the staff was gracious. I highly recommend this spot for dinner. Thank you!“

“Great happy hour super baked oysters and crab bisque“

“Food choices were amazing and my server was top notch!! There were so many options on the menu. Can't wait to go back. I had the crab dip and the Kona Steak Skewers for apps. Along with Seafood Ravioli as an entree. Oh, the Jameson Whiskey cocktail was delightful as well. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Stopped in for the first time yesterday and picked up shrimp and oysters. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. They even offered to clean my shrimp for me. This is how it turned out. We will certainly be back soon.“

“Nice new place to meet. Bonus points for walking distant to the Capitol. The eggs were absolutely amazingly delicious - cannot be over praised.“

“Had an early dinner, and I love this place and definitely will come again!! Even though my first language isn't English, and sightseeing by myself, alone, the GREAT waiters at the bar were very kind and polite to me. LOVE the atmosphere, the oysters were delicious, and so were the cocktails.“

“Restaurant Week lunch menu was excellent. Good variety and enough choices for the 3 course menu. Can’t go wrong with any options. Excellent service. Bar area is nice-wish the dining room decor was as interesting as the food. (Maybe that’s the point—the foods the thing!)“

“I love the shrimp basket with the Cajun fries🥰“

“My husband really wanted some fish so we tried this place. The fish is fresh they clean and cook it. Order ahead because the lines are long and so is the wait. He said the fish was ok but needed more seasoning. The fries were great!

Parking: It was crowded and parking was slim I found a parking space right in front but people were pulling up in the street and parking next to parked cars and picking up their food. It could cause a problem especially doing rush hour.“

“Been coming here for years and the crabs are always fantastic. Not super busy but deserves way more business. Everyone who works there is so nice and attentive. Love it here. Might be pricey but that’s just how crabs are in general. 100% deserves your business“

“This is probably the best pasta I’ve had in DC. I’ve been here twice for dinner now, and the pastas were all great. We got a few smaller portions - the alla norma, taglioni, rigatoni, and agnolotti - all were good. We also tried the sfincione [we are both Sicilian], which was OK but not really a sfincione. Good wine selection and great espresso martinis too. Will return.“

“Had a fabulous birthday dinner with family last night. Oysters were delicious with a great hot sauce provided from the Bronx. Skate and Monkfish specials of the day were excellent. Monday night and there was not an empty table. Testament to the great food and wonderful servers.“

“Delicious! Loved the lobster roll!!“

“Visiting from St Louis and so glad we came across Luke’s Lobster! We ordered Luke’s flight so we could try all three rolls. Each one was so delicious. We also got the lobster bisque and NE clam chowder. Very good!! Friendly service and neat atmosphere.“

“truly one of the best airport restaurant experiences I have ever had!! The staff here is phenomenal, stephen is amazing and will make your day you can’t not smile sitting at his bar. The food is wonderful as well but I cannot overstate how amazing the service is! thank you all :)“

“I recently had the pleasure of trying Seafood Boss and I can confidently say it's a must-visit for anyone who appreciates fresh and flavorful fried seafood. The fish and shrimp platter with Boom sauce was a standout—perfectly cooked, with a burst of flavor in every bite. The owner was friendly and attentive, adding to the overall experience. Whether you're a foodie or simply looking for a great meal, definitely delivers on both taste and service. Highly recommend!“

“Amazing food at a reasonable price. The staff and service are wonderful. One of my favorite restaurants in Silver Spring and surrounding areas.“

“The smoked salmon blt is the absolute truth!! Only $12.50 for a sandwhich PACKED with FRESH, QUALITY ingredients! Also the cardamom ginger lemonade is SO refreshing, honestly I could come for that alone.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible for wheelchair by street level double doors.“

“They give you a lot of tasty food. In today's financial climate it's good to get value for your dollar and Mid Atlantic Seafood does just that. In addition, their food is well seasoned and very tasty. No matter if you get a sandwich, a soulfood entre or seafood you definitely will get a meal that tastes good, but you get value. I recommend Mid Atlantic Seafood to everyone.“

“Thank you Khan for the amazing experience during our family trip, the food was delicious and your kind and caring service was top notch !!
Our Son placed this experience in the top of the list from all the activities we did, Thanks 🙌🙌
We will be back as soon as we can since NYC is just 5 hours away 🤣🤣
This place is 100% recommended !!!“

“Got fried croaker dinner with red potatoes and brussel sprouts. Enough food for 2 days. Red potatoes cooked to perfection. Sprouts seasoned perfectly without being salty. I fortunately, the fish was disappointing, greasy, small (2 pieces). Didn't enjoy either, picked through it and trashed it. I won't attempt anything else like that again.
Staff was friendly.“

“Fun quick meal! Good and flexible service.“
