15 Best Seafood Restaurants near Potomac Falls

“We brought a group of 18 family members to El Estribo this past Saturday for the first time, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. I called ahead to make a reservation, and they were kind enough to fit us in that same day. When we arrived, we only waited about 15 minutes before being seated.

The service was great, the restaurant was very clean, and the food was absolutely amazing — every single person in our family loved their meal. While the food took a little time to come out, it was well worth the wait.

A special shout-out to the staff and chef for accommodating my wife’s dietary needs. She usually can only eat homemade ceviche due to restrictions, but they went above and beyond to prepare a shrimp-only ceviche with no milk — and she loved it!

This place may be tucked away in a small shopping center, but it’s a true hidden gem. We will definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious, authentic food and great service.“

“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.“

“Best place for seafood in NOVA hands down! From the owners to the men and women that take care of you, it’s my favorite restaurant. 10 stars ⭐️ if I could!“

“Incredible experience from the second you walk in to the moment you leave. The menu is expansive and filled with a huge variety of seafood options. The taste and flavors are exquisite. And the service is very pampering.“

“$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“

“Very friendly, good customer service 👍 👌“

“Wonderful!! It was a great first experience!“

“Absolute amazing place to eat traditional fried American food done right by Americans! The prices are fair and there’s a good variety of drinks and sides. The mac & cheese is amazing no matter what that other guy says. To the guy that said it’s not American owned anymore, it most certainly is I guess you just got a problem on what kind of Americans they are. Also, pretty sure they are Korean. Or at least that’s what my Chinese Buddy tells me! But since it is Asian American owned now we are forced to eat with chopsticks.“

“Love purchasing from Ford’s when they are in Hillsboro! I was excited when my husband texted me this morning that the truck was back ! Was hoping for dinner tonight but sadly looks like i will have to wait. I’ve always had excellent food and service!“

“Delicious“

“The experience was great from the start, largely due to the hostess Dulce! I made a reservation for a surprise birthday and she made sure that the entire thing went off without a hitch! She took the time to make sure all our needs were met and she even followed up with afterwards to ensure the experience was top notch! Having worked in the restaurant industry myself, this type of personalized experience is a lost art. The food was great and service was quick and thorough! My only critique would be their salad bar/appetizer station didn’t have anything really memorable or outstanding; however, I was mostly there for the meat selection anyway so that did not bother me one bit!“

“A fantastic experience! Gabby was our server - - and did such a fantastic job ensuring our first-time experience was excellent. The appetizer and main course selections we made were well-prepared. Love the space too. The hostess greeted us and selected a great table for us. Top on our list during our next visit to this area.“

“This lakeside spot in Reston is everything you want in a local favorite, stunning views, warm ambiance, and a team that genuinely cares. The staff goes out of their way to make families and kids feel welcome, which is rare and deeply appreciated. The food? Always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Whether you're catching up with friends or having a low-key meal with little ones, Red’s Table makes it feel easy and elevated. Consistently excellent.“

“I was there last. night (Thursday) and the Octopus was delightful as was my 'ordinary' salmon plate with their delicious veggies....The home sparking pink wine served in an unusual goblet was ample and perfect (a substitute for the more expensive Brut when they didn't have theirs cooled._ The alternative was just as good. I'm no connoisseur but I know a good meal when I'm finished. Food ample and the less expensive dishes looked just as appetizing as the more expensive ones. I want to try almost everything once....“

“Great food and atmosphere. Very clean. Service was fast and friendly. Their PHO noodles are served perfectly, not too soft or mushy.. They were also happy to accommodate my daughter's food allergies so she could enjoy a meal with us. Great place.“
