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

“INCREDIBLE! You will do a happy dance when you bite into that lobster roll and those hot hush puppies. Everyone was lovely, hilarious, and helpful. Kelly and Naya made this a wonderful eating experience. This is a bit of a hidden gem and worth your time and dollars.“

“We went on a Sunday night and the place was packed. One of the best staff and service. We tried their crab dip, bread service (best butter n bread), tosso stuffed chicken, oyster sliders… all of them tasted really great. Quite a big drinks n wine menu. Even has options for non alcohol too. All day happy hour on Sunday too. Will come back again.“

“Mariscos 1133 is hands down one of the best brunch spots I’ve ever been to! The food selection is incredible — from savory dishes to the amazing drinks, everything was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. You can tell the kitchen puts care into every plate.

The drink menu is just as impressive. Whether you’re in the mood for a classic mimosa or something more creative, their cocktails are delicious and well-balanced. The vibe is vibrant yet laid-back, making it perfect for a relaxing weekend brunch with friends or a casual date.

The service was also top-notch — friendly, attentive, and quick without feeling rushed. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend Marisco 1133 if you’re looking for an unforgettable brunch experience!“

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

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

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

“We took another close friend couple, and it was just the best dining experience we have ever had, and we are considered "foodies". Staff was a true pleasure, service was impeccable and the food was so creative, artistic and flavorful. Overall, a great evening and experience. Thank you.“

“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!“

“Great spot, wonderful people and the food is excellent“

“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!“

“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!“

“Food was delicious and the sauce off the hook“

“Love this place. Have been here three times, twice at the bar for lunch and once for dining. Service is superb, everyone serving us has been extremely friendly. The food is some of the best we've had in DC, and definitely the best spot for seafood. I adore the grilled oysters and they just added two new types to the menu - to die for! I'm honestly surprised it's not packed all the time but they do have ample seating.“

“I went for dinner here a month or two ago and every dish was incredible- from the ube bao bun to the tofu. We also loved the drinks.

Came back here on Friday to stop by the bar to get the Ube Colada (it’s so good!) and had such a lovely time. The bartenders are so kind and knowledgeable and it was the perfect place to close out a Friday evening.

Will definitely be back again for dinner or drinks and want to try their brunch!“

“Service was great and beyond exceptional. A place to try for special occasion for seafood. We had the grilled octopus and sardines for appetizers. Both are great options. We had the Connecticut version of lobster roll which came in hot. The catch of the day was a pan seared cod. It was good. The hit was the squid ink risotto. This place is great to celebrate special occasions but not for weekly or even monthly dining. Would be cost prohibitive.“

“Great Drinks Good Lobster Tails stuffed with Blue Crab Great Asparagus Excellent Baked Alaska Excellent Service“

“The food is amazingly fresh and delicious.“

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

“Delicious! Loved the lobster roll!!“

“I could not believe how good the food was. When everything came out I was legitimately giddy with excitement. I came here with my spouse and our three kids after hitting up a local event - so we were all hungry and a bit tired. The drinks came out quickly, and our appetizer came out shortly thereafter. And OMG the cornbread. I grew up in the south and cornbread was just so-so for me but this was hands down the best I’ve had in my 37 years. The food came out and the portions were absolutely enormous. My spouse and I shared a full rack of ribs (which were huge and meaty and so well seasoned) with a near bucket sized amount of fresh fries and a cast iron pan of Mac n cheese. My kids had tenders and fries and honestly there was so much I could’ve split one plate between the three of them. The price was super reasonable, even before I knew the portion sizes lol. I would absolutely come back and recommend it to everyone I know.“

“First time ordering here. I ordered a dozen #1 crabs for take out. The crabs were ready when I arrived and bag was hot.

When I got home poured them out everything looked good. Crabs were lightly seasoned as I requested. Some places pour a huge amount of seasoning into the bag and then you can’t see the crabs well and the bag has a ton of left over seasoning.

JC Crab House put just the right amount of seasoning in my opinion. Crabs were all good and no dried ones or mushy ones.

The only negative is that for $100 for what they charge for a dozen #1, you can get a dozen of large crabs at Conrad’s Crab house in Parkville Md.

Crabs there are equally as good (different slightly spicier seasoning) but JC Crab house is a good option if you aren’t going to drive all the way to Parkville.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“It was in the middle of a heavy rain storm as I ordered so I ran to my car! The young man walked my user to the car in the downpour. That was next level! The food was good too. Only thing was most of the crab options were 86'd. Will have to come back on a sunny day to try more if the menu“

“We had an absolutely amazing experience at emmerts Seafood! From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by our wonderful waitress, Avery. She truly went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Avery was incredibly attentive and even took the time to let our curious toddler walk around with her so he could explore — it meant so much to us and made the evening even more special. The food was cooked to absolute perfection — every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. We couldn't have asked for a better dining experience. We will definitely be back, and when we do, we’ll be requesting Avery again. She made our night unforgettable!“

“Thank you Ms. Jasmine for your awesome customer service. I love your hospitality as well as your knowledge of your store and it's entirety. I love my chicken and waffles 😍🤤“

“Hank’s is one of the best spots in town — their lobster roll and fried oysters are hands down the best I’ve had in DC. The back patio is super cute and makes a great hangout, especially during happy hour. Always a solid choice when you’re craving good seafood in a fun setting. Note, the restaurant can be loud“

“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!“

“Delicious! Loved the lobster roll!!“

“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.“

“what a perfect vibey spot for some incredibly delicious italian food! definitely get the treviso salad and the fried blossoms to start. i could eat so many plates of their mushroom cream ravioli! i’ll be returning for more of that next time for sure. the lamb chops were also so flavorful. the service was also fantastic and they were so nice! adding this spot to the dinner night rotation“

“Great seafood Wonderful crabmeat an shrimp“

“I had an early afternoon flight to catch yesterday at DCA. So I stopped in at Your establishment to have lunch. The moment I got there I was greeted by the most friendliest staff I’ve experienced in a long time. My server was a young lady by the name of Betty. She was very knowledgeable and very polite. I ordered the fish sandwich and Chowder. They were both great. I will recommend this place to my friends and associates .“
