50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Potomac

“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.“

“Had the privilege to play this with the pro Harvey. This course is a great example of what it looks like to see what the PGA sees. It was tough but fair. The course was in impeccable shape…even in the midst of record heat and humidity. The staff was nothing short of amazing and welcoming from the moment we pulled in the parking lot. If ya get the chance to play…don’t hesitate…say yes.“

“I came here after hiking Great Falls, I’m from NC and I’m not used to such a great dining experience!“

“Visited yesterday for the first time and was so pleased with our experience. I had the Lobster roll and it was perfection! I also had my dog with me so we ate outside. They brought out an extra table/chairs so we could wouldn't have to wait for a table to open up. They were extremely accommodating and always checked on everyone to see if we needed anything. Will definitely be back!“

“Can't believe it took me this long to eat here. Definitely worth it. Can't go wrong with anything u pick. The only think that competes with the food is the quality of the drinks. However both of those are outshine by the service. This place definitely makes it onto my standard rotation list.“

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

“This restaurant, since it opened, has been one of the most consistently excellent in the entire WDC area, and a favorite of mine. The oysters are the best available, the wine list is outstanding and quite international, and the food is always cooked to perfection--but it is expensive, just plan on that. I had Chilean seabass (very $$$) and my guest had a salad (all of their salads are original and terrific) and their wonderful New England clam chowder (which could use a bit more bacon, as another restaurant in town does....) And this is the only restaurant in Washington where I ALWAYS have dessert, their mini-triple creme brulees -- superb! Finally, we had a new waiter, Alex, who was simply the best, most knowledgeable and thoughtful I've experienced in Washington this year. Amazing, keep him!“

“Consistently delicious food (great fish), fun atmosphere, good service.“

“Our experience could not have been any better- Eddie V's is a class act and a truly lovely experience! Our server was fantastic! He anticipated our needs long before we realized them, and he was a great help with our 3 children. The food and drinks were to die for, the ambiance and music was amazing, a truly fantastic night. We can't wait to come back!“

“Great seafood and great service provided by Josh Z!“

“My first time at this restaurant for a fabulous shared birthday party. It was amazing. Not only the party and the staff, but the cuisine! ❤️ The appetizers (some of the freshest, delecate, perfectly prepared calamari), desserts (all amazing), main dishes (I had the salmon...yum!), but that salad dressing!!! It is the most delicious, freshest of flavors! Many of us purchased a bottle to bring home (I live in another state) and enjoy it immensely. i wished I lived nearby. I highly recommend this amazing place!“

“Wonderful food and service. We all had different dinners off the menu. The French onion soup was some of the best I had. We walked in and were met with smiles and seated fast with no reservations.“

“Food was so delicious 😋 Frank was an awesome server. Music and setting was good. Can't wait to come back.“

“Perfect restaurant! The most delicious food, excellent and large portions, excellent atmosphere, excellent service Adrian.“

“Had my daughter’s 15th birthday dinner today. The place was BUSY with a charity bar crawl. Even so, they did a great job attending to us and my meal was great! Rick was an amazing host. Will definitely come back again!“

“We've dined at Patsy's American on several occasions and consistently appreciate the quality, service and atmosphere.“

“The best part of it was the bang bang shrimp. The rest of the food was OK. I have been there before, but I think they change the chef.“

“The Tacos and clam chowder was really good. The frozen Rose’ was good as well. Great service“

“This was a separate occasion but every time I come to the falls church Masons, I always have a pleasant experience. I actually haven’t been here in a quite a while, but this time I came for dinner with my mom, my husband and my son (6 months old). There was a promo and the cashier helped us in figuring in the promo for all our orders. The food was delicious as always, and the young man that brought our food was so kind. I love coming here cause they always have a promo, or something special happening. The service and food is always through the roof amazing.“

“Great service. Best crabs I’ve had all year- big & full!“

“Great servers! This was a great surprise to find this place so far south from Maine.“

“The heart and soul of falls church! Always tasty and super accommodating for gluten free“

“The food was delicious, the tuna and the kebabs 🤤🤤 and the service was excellent, even the young woman with the tattooed arm, I think her name is Leslie, along with a couple of young men, Luis and Jett. I would definitely go back. Greetings from Tuxpan, Nayarit, Mexico“

“Great service, good food, nice patio, bar & inside spaces“

“This site is my preferable restaurant. Of all restaurants I know I like it most. I always suggests to my friends to go to visit this restaurant. when I I need a good lunchon, this restaurant comes instantly to my mind. excellent and food and a rich cuisine.great staff members, and great spirit. And very important, the cost is honest. I sent my friends to this spot with pleasure.“

“If I had my restaurant still open I'd steal Miguel from you! His level of speed and efficiency you don't find it anywhere. It seemed he was the only brunch server today and he managed to keep that smile even though things didn't seem to work well with the kitchen. Great place/environment/food. I tried the crab omelet as he suggested although I got addicted with the short rib omelet here. Keep it up! I also love to see how managers jump to help (at least one) I'll be back and request Miguel.“

“La comida muy deliciosa, a nuestro gusto con buenos precios muy económicos.!! Mi platillo especial la carne al espetón … hecho al carbón 😋.. se la Recomiendo.!!“

“Highly recommend. We had an excellent experience at Terre Gaucha. As party of 12 can sometimes be challenging, but the staff handled everything with ease, professionalism, and attentiveness. They were knowledgeable and quick to answer any questions, ensuring a seamless dining experience for our group. The hot and cold bar offered a wide variety of options, though the highlight of our visit was the churrasco service. The selection of meats was outstanding—beef was especially tender and flavorful, while the pork, shrimp, chicken, and salmon were equally impressive. We look forward to returning and would strongly recommend this restaurant to anyone considering a Brazilian churrasco dining experience.“

“Literally some of the best steak I’ve ever eaten in my life. And I’m very picky about my steaks“

“Our first visit to Cafe Renaissance and will not be our last. Wonderful staff, menu and food. The wine list is extensive and overall dining experience could not have been better; it was a super evening.“

“Food is fresh and hot. The Seafood here is amazing, but they do offer Non-Seafood items as well. The portion size is great. It’s worth the prices. Delicious.“

“Excelente el arroz con pato!!! Me encanto!!“

“The BEST VALUE all-you-can-eat place! Excellent, fresh food and clean!!! (even their women's bathroom is clean!) And great services, especially Amy! By the way, it is hard for me to believe this restaurant does not get 5 stars! We travel all the way from VA to this place at least two times a month. We just love it!!! P.S. I read the reviews that did not give them 5 stars and feel those reviews may not be fair to them. As an example, one review gave them a 4-star commenting food is great, quality is great, but expensive. Yes, if you compare this place with most cheap Chinese all you can ear places, $33 does seem expensive. However, fresh and high-quality food cost me. I am willing to pay extra for good, fresh food. As another example, I was shocked to see a review giving them only 3 stars commenting she got sick (even though she said she loved the food there). I was wondering if she did not cook her food well in the hot pot, or she couldn't handle the spices.“

“the food, the service and the drinks are all amazing. loved the decor as well. it is pricey but very shareable. Matt K. was the best server. Made us laugh and had a blast.“

“Exceptional Service. Culinary Excellence. Our dining experience at JOON was extraordinary, made even better by the exceptional service from our server, Yacine. His thoughtful recommendations, warm demeanor, and perfectly timed attentiveness made for an unforgettable evening. Even as the restaurant got busier, Yacine maintained his focus on us— a warm and welcoming touch that elevated the entire experience. Thank you! As fans of Persian cuisine and frequent shoppers at Yekta Market in Rockville— having recently tried our hand at making Persian dishes like Fesenjan at home— coupled with all of the culinary accolades— we had high expectations for JOON. It not only met but exceeded them. Mast-o Musir, yogurt dish with Persian dried shallot and rose petal, was exceptional— more elevated and nuanced than any we’ve had. The mushroom Khoresht stew with white truffle was another highlight, offering perfectly balanced flavors something hard to do with white truffles and a satisfying richness, complemented by the perfectly crunchy Tahdig, iconic golden rice crust. The braised lamb shoulder which Yacine suggested was the undeniable highlight of the meal I which each dish was excellent. Tender and flavorful, it was paired beautifully with texture. It’s a signature dish that rivals the best we’ve ever had, bringing to mind the legendary Bo Ssam pork shoulder from David Chang’s Momofuku— bold, unforgettable, and expertly prepared. The Gormeh Sabzi, short rib stew with its delicious sour depth, was excellent but couldn’t quite match the lamb’s showstopping brilliance. Two very minor points. While the food and service are exceptional, the main dining room lighting would benefit from dimming. A water filtration water system could make a big difference as well. JOON has firmly secured its place as a must-visit dining destination for us. We can’t wait to return and explore more of the menu.“

“Yummy but expensive, large portion“

“As usually the food was excellent! I usually stick the the shrimp and like the signature Hot n Juicy sauces done spicy. Just enough kick without being overbearing. Savory and delicious. Highly recommend coming here if you haven’t already, especially if you call yourself being a seafood lover.“

“Christy is the best! Love this place for seafood boil! Food is good l!“

“So happy to have Red’s within walking distance of my house. We recently took a group of friends there and were lucky to get the private room. Great food and service! Tried their oysters for the first time and they were really good.“

“This is our fourth time ordering from Chan’s Kitchen, and they’ve been very consistent. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and reliable, which is why we keep coming back. Friendly and welcoming staff.

The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that the egg rolls can sometimes be a bit greasy, but tastes really good.
Overall, still a solid go-to spot for Chinese food and definitely recommended.“

“they had a really hot guy working there with a little bracelet on what is his name but overall good food.“

“Such a great experience celebrating our 41st anniversary at Seasons 52! Our server, Ben, was extremely gracious and made sure we were able to take our time, and celebrate our special evening. He made sure to time each course perfectly in time with our own pace. We really appreciate the management and chef at Seasons! They were very generous with a champagne toast, a special tuna tartare anniversary presentation, and a special celebratory dessert! Of course, we topped it off with their signature mini-desserts of key lime pie and the cheesecake & caramel. Each of our courses was superb - from the appetizer of the charcuterie board, to the lobster bisque soup, and the excellent wood-grilled filet mignon made perfectly to my wife's and my liking! Accompanied by one of our favorite Bordeaux wines. Many thanks to our server, Ben, the chef and the management team at this Seasons for taking such great care of us! You are absolutely a reason we keep coming back!“

“We came here to celebrate our child's graduation, along with the parents of her best friends (our friends too!) while they were at their graduation party. Everyone in our table enjoyed their food and we had amazing service. I myself have been here a few times before and suggested this location to our friends since Seasons 52 NB never disappoints. Looking forward to visiting again, whether we're celebrating something or just because.“

“Saltline is always a great choice for dining in Bethesda, my go to for business events & personal. Food is always delicious, cocktails are amazing. Love the bar area, not too loud but lively. Service is always on point - friendly & always really good suggestions.“

“I understand that it is incredibly challenging for a manager to determine the appropriate time to ask extremely loud patrons to pipe down a bit. The bar area was extremely loud with women who were frequent after-work guests squealing with the bartender who knew them and also with their friends and co-workers. That's understood and those customers usually filter out and don't stay too late. However, in the main dining room, there was a family of about 7-8 who had two inebriated women at their table who were so loud, and the group was there for so long, that it made me uncomfortable for ALL of the diners. Capital Grille is a wonderful dining experience and the bill for our group of four was several hundred dollars. For that level of experience I would expect that the setting would be comfortable. *Our server was extremely professional and friendly. The food was wonderfully prepared and top quality as to be expected at Capital Grille.“

“We were celebrating my mom's 88th birthday and everything was perfect! The table was great and the service was outstanding by Cliff, who is fantastic. The food was so delicious. Clyde's Lodge is our favorite place to eat and every time we go there it is wonderful and never disappoints!“

“Our dinner was delicious. We had french onion soup and a wedge salad and then shared a large bone in steak with hash browns and green beans with tomatoes and onions. Mnnnnn. Everything to perfection and because it was my birthday they brought a Happy Birthday plate with two desserts in the house. Our server was delightful.“

“Great customer service +18O5420 3008 NO NONSENSE and GREAT ASSISTANCE!!!“

“Everything on the menu is vegetarian. We love the house seaweed soup for two. Best imitation chicken in Rockville. My favorite is the ginger chicken with broccoli. But chicken with vegetables is also a winner! Huge menu! Great spot for vegetarian food.“

“tengo 15 años de venir aqui sin dudarlo se lo recomiendo la mejor comida“
