We pick up fish here almost every Sunday for dinner . Tonight was Arctic Char , Hake , Opah, and Cod for my wife. We always enjoy what we have found to be the freshest,most sustainable fish in the city .

A little out of the way for us, but fabulous dinner . Flounder entree was fabulous. Starters were spot on - oysters/octopus/clams/oysters rockefeller/scallops - excellent. End with banana cream pie .

Mallie T

Really enjoyed each course here. Salmon tartare appetizer is excellent. And the seasonal apple pie with ginger ice cream and butterscotch sauce is perfection.

Eater

Oysters , blue shell mussels , fried Ipswich clams and more join entrees like bouillabaisse , skate wing and smoked toro dashi to pretty much cover the gamut of seafood . [Eater 38 Member]

This Palisades restaurant has its own fish market . And a happy hour from 4-7 pm Mon-Fri has amazing drink specials . So stop in for a drink and a pound of the freshest seafood in town .

Angie Harmon

Look, I hate anchovies , but their house-made anchovies make a fantastic Caesar. And their tilefish is the best seafood dish I've tasted in months.

I remember they had skate wing fish on the menu which I like a lot and it's not very popular. It was delicious with lentil salad . 

Denrael

Great meal and amazing accommodating staff . They went out of their way to ensure we had a great experience.

Michael Goitein

The bouillabaisse was amazing. Great food, well-prepared. Comprehensive wine list . Pricey . Service was good.

Liz Taylor

Not a bad thing on the menu. Brunch faves: Eggs Pontchartrain & Texas Pink Shrimp & Grits . For dinner : wood grilled whole fish .

Washingtonian Magazine

Walking by the fish market up front you’ll likely get a sense of what will be on the menu from the ice beds holding super-sweet Nantucket bay scallops or a bountiful array of oysters .

Hkling

The petite platter was a letdown as we felt that for a fish market the food would have been fresher. Our entrees was a bit lacklustre for the price

Jan Erik Johansson

Any fresh fish . Great combination of flavors

Mari Fry

My favorite restaurant in all of DC! Seafood is to die for!

Walburga A Marder

best Seafood Happy Hour in town - and some of the best fresh fish to buy @ their Black's Market

Ben Yi

Fresh oysters and mussels are wonderful!

Brett Melillo

It was great. It was also easily the most expensive dinner I've ever had. So the value proposition isn't really there. But if money is no object, go.

Lacy Baugher

Outstanding seafood - probably the best in town . Try the crab cakes - they aren't on the menu, but are ridiculously good.

A Alawadi

Awesome oysters . Great fish selection and not bad happy hour !

Alberto Zacapa

without a doubt the best seafood in DC. Wild Rockfish seared and topped with coconut/chorizo sauce was out of this world

Lauren Sloan

Wow everything was beyond fantastic- worth the higher prices

Sandra Riela

Such good seafood and good cocktail menu too!

Kevin Wilson

Food is excellent, but their service staff seems not well trained at table service. This coupled with forgotten orders. Don’t be afraid to push them. Leave comments with management. They respond.

Thrillist

Hit up this spot Monday to Friday from 11:30am to 2:30pm, when $18 gets you any three (of four) options: an appetizer , entrée, dessert or drink.

The shrimp & grits are amazing for brunch !

Megan Masters

Major letdown. Salmon was raw and branzino was burnt. Heirloom tomato salad full of peppers . If they say full fish , they'll give you a filet. Seafood isn't at its finest here :(

Michael Guss

The weekend happy hour is the bomb!

Andres Millan

Best sea food in DC. Delicious

Canan Buyukunsal
