50 Best Seafood Restaurants near New Carrollton

“The food is fantastic but I did think the calamari was fried to hard so Im good on that. But when getting a dinner all the sides that I had was definitely working. And the definitely made sure that you get your money's worth or maybe it was my smile 😃. Bump that it was my smile so don't get mad is your plate doesn't look like mine. Im not a local and this was my second time. So when I'm in town this is one of my favorite spots. Also I did have take out and you can see my food in the photos.“

“The food was amazing and our server she was the best, excellent customer service. We will return“

“Took the family out last night had a great time good drinks and staff very nice … surprise they do line dancing on Wednesdays!“

“The charcoal grilling technique imparted a wonderful flavor and crunch unlike any I have ever tasted, it's truly a unique and enjoyable taste. Service was great and the sommelier's pairing was better than my selection for less than I expected to pay. Twofer!“

“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 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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“My friend and I arrived for brunch earlier today, and our experience was outstanding! We both enjoyed our meals tremendously. The serving size was such that we both had enough left over for the next day. Our servers, Jamari and Jamaal were top notch. They provided us with a balance of dedicated service without being overbearing. I definitely plan a return visit. Hopefully, I'll get the same servers, although from what I observed, all of the servers were excellent!“

“Great meal recently at Cucina Morini !!! The food, service and drinks were all on point !! See the photos for our recommendations !!! You can order half orders of pasta !! Perfect if you want to try different things.“

“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.“

“Yesterday was my first time there, myself and a party of five. One member of our party arrived and had the table reserve the wait was 30 minutes, took that long for the rest of us to arrive; when we did we were seated rather fast. The crab bomb stole the show, best any of us ever had. Second runner up the crab soup also the baked potatoe was well portioned and was not dried out. The haddock was fried to perfection, and the cake dessert oh my, I ordered dessert to go, When I later dugged into the lemon pound cake each morsel was delicious, as if it was home made. Over all an excellent dining experience, a little pricey but was worth every single dime, we will return.“

“Brandon is very nice and the food was very good??“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“Very quiet & intimate place. Everything was clean & easy to access. The service from Jennifer was so welcoming. You know how it feels to when you go visit relatives you haven’t seen in a while? That’s how Jennifer made me feel. We had a brief interaction but I felt at ease talking to her. The food was absolutely amazing!!! I ordered the catfish & grits. The steam & favor coming from the meal was breathtaking lol. If I return to DC I sure will be back. Also, try one of their homemade drinks. The 14 Carat drink was delicious.“

“Having lately dined at The Capital Grille in the federal city of Washington, I found myself most agreeably surprised. The rooms were dark, handsome, and quietly appointed, and the attendants shewed a courtesy that would not have disgraced a well-ordered house in London. Glasses were filled without asking, and every dish arrived as if by an unseen intelligence. The beef was tender and finely crusted, the sides fancifully prepared. Nothing of tawdry excess spoiled the fare. I left the table thoroughly satisfied, and should not hesitate to commend the place to any traveller whose affairs carry him to that infant capital.“

“My meal was awesome as always.“

“Food and service were 10/10. The food was delicious. I want to go back and try the entire menu. Portions sizes were good and filling.“

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

“If you get your fish cooked there have them leave the head on. The cook cut to much off and you or paying for the head anyway. Check your order before you walk out we got home and the fish looked much smaller than we paid for. I paid for two fried fish when I got home to get they only gave me one and a half. Not good business..“

“Ebony was an outstanding waitress, one of the best waitresses we have ever had. I like the way she made us feel comfortable and special as a matter of fact when I go back there again I'm gonna ask for her. She 100% cares about her customers also the manager came by to see if everything was OK. I said my lamb chops was a cooked too much and he offered to take it back and bring me a new one which I accepted. It was outstanding and delicious.  We don't always get such good service for other restaurants thank you“

“Really enjoyed our meal here! The service is INCREDIBLE. Unbelievably friendly staff. Our food was a little slow to come out, but without even having to bring it to their attention, they apologized and comped us 2 drinks. When the food did arrive, it was absolutely delicious. The sliders were juicy, and if you get them, make sure you order the fries because the seasoning is divine. Also really loved the fried green tomatoes! We had a lovely time!“

“Wanted to try something new for breakfast today and it ended up getting their sausage, bacon egg and cheese on Hawaiian rolls and that absolutely brought such a good start to my day. It was super flavorful cause they gave me syrup that I could drench on it and that absolutely transcended the whole experience. I fell in love with those sliders, and I will absolutely be ordering them again and trying new things off the menu.“

“I ordered seafood platter and croaker. They gave me jumbo fried shrimp that was the bomb but that fried croaker fish was the best I ever had. The season and flavors was in meat of the fish. I’m getting my croaker fish from there from now on.“
