50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Mclean

“From the moment we walked into Eddie V's Prime Seafood, the experience was exceptional. The ambiance is elegant yet inviting — perfect for celebrating my mother’s birthday.

The service? Impeccable. Attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm — they truly rolled out the red carpet for my mother’s special day, especially considering it was our first time visiting. Our server, Brent, was on point and ensured every detail was just right from start to finish.

The food was absolutely outstanding. Every bite felt intentional, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. And the cocktails? Crafted flawlessly.

Eddie V’s truly delivers a five-star dining experience — from atmosphere to service to cuisine. If you’re celebrating something special this is the place to be. We will definitely be back!“

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

“I was in Tyson for work at the mall and decided to stop by 52. Hands down, the best filet mignon I’ve had in a long time. Perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor.
Do not skip the mashed potatoes — absolutely the best I’ve ever had. 10/10.
The service at the bar was outstanding. Professional, attentive, and welcoming.
I’ll be back every time I’m in Tyson. Highly recommend.“

“The experience was definitely worth mentioning. We had the pleasure of hosting my husbands birthday dinner/ couples date night addition at this place and we scored the private room for small parties. Boy! We are impressed. Annie the coordinator was so flexible and so informative with myself and my husband and made the planing process so smooth. When we entered the place, valet parking was so easy! This was a Saturday evening and it felt too easy. The front staff set the tone and the ambience created a picture for a wonderful evening. We entered a fully set private room 30 min prior to our guest arrival time. Wow!!!! Lourdes and Gary were so accommodating! Lourdes is one to remember because she really made the experience grand. Her smile and her patience with a party of 16 really did show up and shine on Saturday. The food came out so beautifully made, timely and was very appetizing. We will be back! We will talk about this place to others.

Lourdes gave us an entire Photoshoot at the duration of our event. Never rushed us!!! That is stellar service!!!!

Thank you for making this experience so amazing for our guest. ❤️“

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

“Outstanding food!,drinks, very fresh, and very friendly staff!. I highly recommend it“

“Today my husband and I had the opportunity to dine at Fleming. The staff was AMAZING! Matt, the manager was on top of every request, need, and want. As soon as anyone in the restaurant needed anything, we witnessed him assisting the service staff to make sure that it was done immediately. He is the type of manager that people dream of! Wish he were on my team. Luis was our server and was great! He was on top of our every need, was attentive, and easily on of the best servers I've ever had. To round out the team, Juan was behind Luis with any additional support that we needed. Quiet professional with great service; Quick, fast, and in a hurry. The ambiance of the restaurant is hard to find in DC. It was quiet enough for a one on one conversation, but energetic enough to make sure that we were not bored. The food was top notch! My stomach hurts because I should have tapped out 15 minutes ago but the food was too good to stop. I'd recommend the Leviathan wine and tomahawk steak. We are big eaters and could not finish our salads and soup, steak, or desserts! My husband highly recommends the French onion soup, Mac and cheese, and Brussels sprouts. Overall the service, ambiance, food, and staff were wayyyyyy more than we expected. We look forward to patronizing this location again. I wish I had pics, but we ate too fast.“

“Great service, good food and a great greeting. Me and my wife had an exceptional experience. We definitely will be going back.“

“Just Woow!!!
This was the best seafood restaurant I have ever been to. The food was incredible and so is the service. Everyone was so sweet. They let us try the soup before buying it to make sure we liked it. The lobster roll, hush puppies (recommended by front server) and lobster bisque was out of this world. Will definitely need to come back here every time in Washington. Even got lollipops on the way out. So great!!!“

“Fantastic food and the drinks were particularly delightful. We unknowingly went during restaurant week and had some folks pick that menu while others ate a la carte. From bread service through dessert, everyone was incredibly pleased with the experience.“

“What a special place to have a meal! Fantastic food and service. Fair pricing and simply exquisite food for dinner or weekend brunch. Staff is really knowledgeable and kind, always love coming to this restaurant. Also, it’s nice that it is a well lit dining area and not too loud to have conversations in. Great spot.“

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

“Restaurant week special 3 courses for $34. Lots of servers and managers walking around making themselves available to fulfill diner's needs. I wanted fried clams - no substitutions from set menu - was able to have that dish in addition to.“

“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!“

“Thanks you so much #psychiczabaza“

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

“The Sea Bass was a total suprise. More often than not I am dissapointed when I order fish. Not the case here. The presentation was superb. The blend of flavors, textures and colors was an epicurean delight. Our waiter/bartender Damany was thoughtful, always on point without being intrusive. The whole experience was one worth repeating.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Delicious! Loved the lobster roll!!“

“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.“

“We had a half dozen raw oysters—quickly shucked, clean and slurpy with distinctive flavor notes. Served with mignon sauce, cocktail sauce with extra horseradish on top, fresh lemon and oyster crackers. Nice choices if you use them.
Specials caught our attention. I had seafood fettuccine with pink chipotle (a fluid, gentle heat) sauce. There were plenty of perfectly cooked, tender jumbo shrimp, lobster and scallops. The chef used care. My husband had grilled swordfish again cooked properly, on a base of creamed broccoli sauce, with a side of sautéed squash and topped with fried spiral-cut carrots. It was an eye-pleasing colorful meal. We shared a generous bowl of chocolate mousse for dessert. No pictures because my phone was charging at the host station.“

“Absolutely love this restaurant. I come every time I'm in DC. Consistently great food and service!“

“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 😍🤤“

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

“Everything from the moment we arrived was perfection. Our waiter, Oliver, was terrific, allowing us to 'customize' our orders. We lingered for a long time, and were never pressured to leave. After we left, I realized I left my parking ticket on the table, when I came back, Oliver to the rescue, he noticed it was left there, and put it on the side. I will be back, food was delicious, and the whole vibe of the restaurant was fantastic!“

“This was my first time ordering from this location. I ordered a seafood boil over the phone, I was told it would be ready in 25 min once I arrived I was greeted and told to have a seat it would be another 5 minutes which was fine. The boil came in a box and like a foil dish which I wasn’t use to but it was fine, the taste was cool. I liked it.“

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

“Our server Gladys was remarkable. She was kind, professional and has an amazing light from within that made our meal during our layover. I wish I knew how to contact HQ bc others need to learn from her. Watching her with other tables confirmed that she is just stand out with all her customers. Food was good, ambiance nice but Gladys- she’s a rockstar!“

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

“What an experience! I came from Alabama on a work trip. My fellow employees and I were trying to find a seafood restaurant and stumbled upon this restaurant on a Wednesday. And boy did we hit the jackpot! The food was amazing first off. Second off, we had been wanting to do karaoke and there was a DJ! We sang at the table while we were eating and had such an amazing time. The atmosphere is phenomenal! We ended up dancing on the floor to a few songs before we left 😂 Thank you Hook & Reel for such an amazing experience. The next time we are in the area we are FOR SURE coming back!“

“their lobster salad was amazing! And as someone who's had NOLA gumbo, theirs ranked up! Would definitely visit again“

“Thao is an amazing server she make sure that you have everything you need makes sure that she checked on you even when you probably don’t wanna be checked on I couldn’t ask for anything better. Her drinks are amazing. Come toot and juicy on Connecticut Avenue if you want that great customer service“

“Today is my birthday. My mom tried to order jumbo crabs, but it was right when they first opened, so door dash showed they didn’t have them, but Josie came to the rescue!! Thanks Josie, heavy MD jumbo“

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

“Service:
This was our first time visiting Old Town Alexandria, and while we originally had another restaurant in mind, Vola’s won us over with its waterfront location and inviting menu. We were told the wait would be 25 minutes, but we were seated in just 15, already a great start. The staff was warm, friendly, and helpful with recommendations throughout the meal, making us feel right at home.

Taste:
We started with the crab hush puppies and oysters, both were so flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and reasonably priced. For our main course, we had the shrimp and grits and the fish and chips. Both dishes were fresh, satisfying, and generously portioned. Every bite was devoured. The drink of the night was a summer Prosecco and passion fruit special, light, refreshing, and delicious. The best part? The refill was cheaper. More restaurants should definitely take notes on that.

Ambiance:
Vola’s has the perfect laid-back yet elevated waterfront vibe. The view of the water, paired with a lively but not overwhelming crowd, made for a relaxed and memorable evening. It’s great for first-timers to Old Town, date nights, or a dinner out with friends.

Overall Review:
Vola’s was a pleasant surprise and a spot we’ll definitely be revisiting. From the quick seating and great service to the flavorful food and creative drinks, everything hit the mark. Highly recommend if you’re in the area, you’ll want to come back too.“
