50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Dulles

“This was a fabulous find. Being the Southern inspired menu, we opted for the fried green tomato appetizer, panko breaded deviled eggs were an unexpected and unusual offering that was phenomenally delicious. We also enjoyed their cajun pasta to round out the meal. We had courteous service from staff that were friendly, responsive and informative and efficient and fun. Very reasonable priced for quality and quantity of food. Highly recommend.“

“Such a great spot to kill some time at IAD! We stopped into The Chophouse while waiting to check our bags and had a really great time. The bartender, Sunny, was exceptional! Friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel so welcoming and fun!

The French fries and asparagus were both fantastic and exactly what we needed as a quick snack.

If you have some time to spare at IAD, I’d absolutely recommend stopping in.“

“Wonderful food, the trout was amazing and so was the shrimp and crab fritter appetizer. Our waiter Matthew was seriously the best and sweetest waiter I’ve ever had in my life. We are here for vacation but we will without a doubt come back here the next time we are in the area.“

“Monday $1 oysters on half shell; usually 3-4 east coast varieties. Both the fish and chips, and the shrimp tacos are my lunch go to options.“

“Amazing food and also gluten free options we had the crab guac, lobster tacos and Bouillabaisse. Chris the bartender made great margaritas and martinis. Highly recommend.“

“ABSOLUTELY phenomenal. If you’re even thinking about trying Ned’s New England Deck, just go! You won’t regret it. The owner, Steve, is so personable and you can tell he genuinely cares about his business. He made an effort to talk to us (even our 4-year-old), which was really sweet and made the whole experience feel more personal. I also loved how he hyped up his staff, you can tell they’re appreciated. The food though… wow. The brown butter lobster roll was seriously amazing! The soft, flavorful bread and the lobster was so buttery and sweet. I’ve had lobster rolls before (even at the beach), and this one honestly beats them. The fried fish melts in your mouth and the truffle fries are addicting. My family and I left so impressed. The food was incredible, and Steve’s kindness just made it even better. He even shared how to make one of their sauces at home, which was such a nice gesture. So again, thank you Steve and staff for an amazing dinner & becoming our go-to seafood spot. We can’t wait to try more and checkout the playroom upstairs!“

“all you can eat seafood is delicious every time we go‼️‼️“

“A friend and I meet at Theisman's restaurant for lunch quite often. I live in Alexandria and she lives in Warrenton so it's a great middle point. We both love the food and the hostesses and waitstaff are excellent. The atmosphere is nice.. the reason I gave it 4 stars is that the music in there was so loud. We decided to sit on the porch thinking it would be quieter and it was such a beautiful day... unfortunately the music was extremely loud out there too and seemed to increase in volume as we were out there for about 2 hours. I noticed a few other people were saying that it was so loud too. We should have said something to the hostess but we had not seen each other in awhile. Wonderful place, but people do want to be able to talk and hear each other. Hopefully, this will get to the right ears ?“

“We love the Capital Grille. It is such a and welcoming place, and the food is delicious. Best of all is the service. We always look forward to being served by Shayla. She is absolutely fabulous - so delightful and efficient, and she always makes our visits special.“

“I want to take this opportunity to share our experience at your restaurant, Bonefish, on Friday, August 29. Our visit for lunch was a great success. Our group of 7 senior women were served by wait staff who were pleasant and patient as we gathered and took our time ordering their delicious salads. They had a nice selection of salad and soup. We all enjoyed our meals. We were also celebrating 2 birthdays. They offered the birthday girls a selection of deserts that were free for the two celebrants. We all sang Happy Birthday and even our waiter joined us We will certainly plan to visit again soon.in singing!“

“We dined at local provisions for Christmas Eve. The bruschetta and the caesar salad were amazing and the chicken osso bucco and spinach fettuccine were top notch. Definitely recommend 10/10“

“I wanted to share my positive experience with the food and service during my recent visit. However, I was disappointed to learn that filling a growler with root beer was deemed "physically impossible". I hope this can be reconsidered in the future.“

“Lots of empty bins for dinner. Asked if more shrimp was coming out and told no. Not even close to closing time. We paid and left a tip for the crappy service only to have 3 waitresses come over and YELL at us saying the $10 we left was not enough for just 2 of us. I'll NEVER go back. Ever. Mediocre food. bad service, scant offerings, and screaming, greedy wait staff. Nope. Bathroom filthy. In 1 stall toilet paper was stuffed into a football sized hole in wall. Floor littered, mold growing around the baseboards. Horrid smell.“

“Great food. They serve authentic Vietnamese food. Everything is well plated with family style portions“

“Seafood Shack inside Whole Foods in Fairfax is a hidden gem for a casual, healthy meal. The ingredients taste super fresh, and the dishes are lightly seasoned to let the natural flavors shine. It feels like clean eating without sacrificing taste. The prices are fair for the quality, making it a great spot to grab something nourishing after a workout or while shopping. Definitely a solid choice—especially if you care about what goes into your food.“

“Love the food and outdoor seating. Great for get together and family meals.“

“$90 for a dozen large males! That's insane especially when you can get 3 dozen and 2 lbs of shrimp from Dents crabs fir $100“

“We live Blue Ridge Grill. We’ve been eating here as a family and as a happy hour location for years. It is a staple of the town of Leesburg. The staff is wonderful and the food always tastes great. Highly recommend BRG as a journey and a destination. A+++“

“Stopped in on a whim, in the area and looking for something decent for dinner. Dolce Vita Italian is outstanding, from atmosphere to desert and EVERYTHING in between. We got the chicken marcella and filet tips gnocchi and both were off the hook good, their bread and an oil is also fantastic. The lemon martini and DV & sour drinks were very tasty. To top it all off we felt like we were in an authentic Italian restaurant in Italy and the staff were just fantastic. If in the area this place it’s tops. Yes we left with some chocolate cake to go!“

“10/10 Recommended“

“Walking into the Lotte food court, I could immediately smell the katsu cooking at Hikari Don Katsu--and it was impossible not to follow the scent. I'm a huge fan of both katsu and curry, so after hearing this spot does both well, I had to give it a try.

The katsu tasted comforting and homemade, like someone put real care into every bite. It was crispy, juicy, and especially good with the sauce, which had a subtle sweetness and buttery richness without being too heavy.

The curry leaned more Korean-style than Japanese-style to me, but honestly, it was so good. It had a nice spicy kick, lots of flavor, and was filling enough that I could happily eat a whole bowl of the curry by itself.
Overall, I was really impressed with Hikari Don Katsu. Great katsu, great curry, and definitely a place I'll be coming back to when I'm craving something warm and satisfying.“

“What a hidden gem in Fairfax! We absolutely loved Kelly’s Oyster House & Bar. The building itself has so much character and gives you that cozy, old-school neighborhood feel that is getting harder and harder to find.
The food was fantastic, and the oysters were fresh and beautifully served. The menu has a great selection of seafood and specials, but whatever you order, do not leave without dessert! Their dessert selection is wonderful, and the Hula Pie was AMAZING , easily one of the highlights of our meal.
Great food, great atmosphere, and a place with real personality. Kelly’s feels like one of those local spots you’re excited to discover and immediately want to tell other people about. We will definitely be back!“

“This place reminds me of getting Chinese food in NY and is full of flavor! I have tried a little bit of everything on the menu and have no complaints. My favorite is their fried rice with bean sprouts and the szechuan chicken . I usually place my order for pickup and the food always comes out hot and fresh!“

“Good is always good and great service“

“What do you get when you pair great food with great service? A five star experience. The atmosphere was a perfect mix of upscale and comfort, and the presentation of the food was amazing for the price! Highly recommend trying this place out!“
