25 Best Seafood Restaurants in Fairfax

“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.“

“Amazing food great atmosphere and they except reservations“

“I’m from South Carolina and this place can compete with the restaurants in Charleston!!!! Try it. You’ll love it!“

“I ordered the Nancy Special and it was delicious!“

“Me and my man usually have a routine on Mondays where we workout and then get something to eat. Today when we were walking by, Miguel popped his head and invited us to come and try the fish grill, and thank God we did, the food was delicious! Everything tasted fresh! I got the giant shrimp with rice and coleslaw with a side of garlic butter and it was so good, I would definitely get that again. My man got the salmon burrito bowl and he really enjoyed it! I would highly recommend the fish grill, thank you Miguel for inviting us in.“

“My husband & I came here for lunch to celebrate a very special milestone, & the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we sat down, our waitress Emma made us feel so welcomed—she was kind, bubbly, & went above & beyond.

The manager, Sarah, even stopped by with a thoughtful gift. To top it all off, they surprised us with a complimentary dessert that was absolutely delicious.

We opted to do the small plates (app & entree for $28). Husband got the clam chowder & steak frites with the steak cooked rare. They knocked it out of the park with the cook. I got the lobster bisque & salmon. Again, superb! My only critique is that the chowder & bisque were both too thick.

We’ve dined at many restaurants over the years, including Michelin-starred establishments & other Capital Grille locations, but the service we received here was beyond anything we’ve ever experienced before. Every detail was thoughtful, genuine, & made us feel so special.

This location has set a new standard for hospitality, & we can’t wait to return. Big thank you to Emma & Sarah for an experience we'll forever cherish.“

“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.“

“Urban Hot Pot is a must-visit for hot pot lovers! The fresh ingredients, flavorful broths, and customizable dipping sauces make for an amazing dining experience. The modern setup with individual pots is perfect for solo or group meals. Highly recommend for a delicious and satisfying outing!“

“We went for Sunday brunch yesterday and our server was CJ. The bottomless mimosas were served in coup glasses and were plentiful (limit of 5 per person 👍🏻). I had the Huevos Rancheros which were served with breakfast potatoes and the order was big enough to share. The service was quick and thoughtful. I’d definitely recommend Drapers for Sunday brunch. The lunch and dinner menu looked interesting and I’m sure we’ll be back. A corner jewel in old towne Fairfax.“

“We dined at Dolce Vita for Fairfax Restaurant week. DV was offering a 3-course dinner for $40 per. We have dined at DV several times for birthdays, anniversary, but are not regulars (senior citizens budget) - most recently at Easter. Have enjoyed every time. We thought Restaurant Week promo made it worth another trip -- but were concerned that since it was a Promo, that it might be Tapas plate portions. NO - it was full Italian dinner with large Caesar salad sides. I had eggplant parmigianno, my spouse had chicken marsala -- a FULL half-chicken . Great creme brulee dessert ! at $ 40 per, we each indulged (normally don't) with a glass of house Pinot Grigio with our dinners. HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!“

“We tried Pho Kim and the Kim rice platter, both were very delicious. This restaurant has a pleasant ambience and the service is top-notch. We'll be back soon to try other dishes.“

“The steaks were absolutely fantastic—perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and among the best I’ve had in a long time. The service was equally impressive; attentive without being overbearing, and everything came out just right. A truly great dining experience all around.“

“Great place to go for a drink at the end of the day Gretchen does a great job bartending must try the Black Moon very good!“

“Delicious soup and side dishes. Their pork hansang rice dish is superb. I don't know what seasoning they put on it, but it's so flavorful. I definitely recommend it.Their seafood pancake was good too with good amounts of seafood in it. Wish it came with some sauce but I used the sauce that comes with the entrees“

“as a regular, the authentic Chengdu laziji (spicy chicken) congxiang yu (scallion fish) and ziran yang (cumin lamb) are my go to favorites“

“Great food clean location definitely enjoyed my birthday today and the food was impressive and plentiful ❤️“
