50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Suitland Silver Hill

“Got the fried seafood basket. They were out of scallops so they substituted with more shrimp. Very friendly service. The food was delicious. Seafood was seasoned and fried well. The coleslaw and hush puppies were delicious as well. Also they have crinkle cut fries which is a personal favorite. They can cook in this place! They are not open everyday so check the hours on Google.“

“The Jumbo crabs here don’t disappoint! The crabs ? were huge! Simply delicious. Must go! For a half of a dozen, it was about $78. Did I mention that they take food stamps here?! Yes…get your crabs on food stamps. Eyes were rolling in the back of my head before I left the parking lot lol. I had to do a test taste ? definitely going back soon.“

“We love Oyster Mania Mondays at Pearl Dive! We make it a regular date night outing to indulge in dozens of half-priced, delicious, fresh, and cold oysters sourced from various locations. Additionally, I always order the incredibly tasty mussels served with toasted baguette slices to soak up all that delicious sauce. The staff consistently delivers friendly and attentive service too, which makes each visit enjoyable.“

“I recently planned a wedding reception at Dauphine's and it was incredible. The food, atmosphere and service was impeccable. The bride and groom were well taken care of, Courtney and Natalie were so easy to work with, communicative and really worked to listen to the couple's needs. It was such a fun, unique and beautiful space for a reception and provided numerous spaces to meet guest needs. The food was delicious and the staff were always on top of everything. I cannot recommend Dauphine's enough and cannot wait to go back for a delicious meal or an event!“

“I’d recommend this place just based on the food itself. I had calamari and a regular lobster roll with sweet potato fries and it was delicious!But the staff is what made Georgetown Seafood special. Right when we walked in (out of a huge rainstorm), a staff member put a towel by the door for us to place our umbrellas on while another staff member immediately found us a table to seat our big group. They took the time to make us feel like VIPs, even down to the extra treats they offered to us after our meal!The place is small, has steep/narrow stairs to the upper level (where the bathroom is located), but even with that I would 100% eat here again and again.Thanks Georgetown Seafood for a wonderful experience!!“

“This is a neighborhood bar within easy reach of DC tourists. The drinks are upper shelf and generous, the food is great. The crowd is mostly locals in this basement steak and cocktail restaurant, but I'd recommend it to anyone. I had the Greek salad with anchovies and grilled shrimp - very good.“

“Food & service were great. Ambiance was fine, until we saw two large rats run out of the service area, past our table, and through the dining room. The floor managers tried to hide it, but they were so large and ran right past us that we couldn't help see them. It put a bad ending on an otherwise good experience.“

“The ambiance and food was immaculate! Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and made appropriate food recommendations for our party. I enjoyed the Shrimp Thermidor as a starter and Cumin Lamb as my entree. They were both delectable, I can't say one was better than the other. I'm ready to go back!“

“It was our first time trying Oak in this location and overall it was good. I always have an issue with places that charge for bread, but we gave it a whirl and it was not worth the money, it was dry and unimpressive as was the crudo appetizer, which also lacked flavor but was fresh. The entree part of the meal was the shining moment with a NY strip steak cooked to perfection and accompanied by mashed potato puree and roasted carrots that were all superb. Great hand-crafted cocktails and wine also were a hit!!“

“Our waitress Isabella was so wonderful and sweet! We came for my brothers 21st birthday and she gave us amazing service! She was so good about our allergies and special requests. The food was good, seafood tower was really nice, scallops and risotto was quite salty. But the steak ravioli that Isabella suggested was amazing!“

“A+ for service and atmosphere! The live music/flamenco dancing was vibrant and delightful. The wait staff were friendly and attentive. As for the food, it was a hit or miss. For the tapas, the whisky pork tenderloin with potatoes was cooked well but the sauce had an odd tang to it. It may be an acquired taste and not for everyone. The grilled eggplant was soggier than expected and I don’t think I’ll get it next time. The Serrano ham and manchego cheese appetizer on the other hand, was absolutely scrumptious! The chicken and seafood paella (the reason why we chose this restaurant) was a big let down…the dish was way too salty and I couldn’t fully enjoy it without downing water. The chicken and mussels/clams however, were tender and cooked well. The churros and chocolate dip for dessert were divine.“

“I really enjoyed my experiences at the The Walrus. They have fresh shucked oysters, the Wally's are the house oyster and they were very good. I think I tried every fresh oyster and there were some excellent options that I thoroughly enjoyed. I also had the lobster roll togo and it was loaded with lobsta. They crab cakes were ok, but they are not using fresh local crab meat. The service was fantastic, it's what had me return, a great experience! The great fresh oysters were also a draw for me.“

“My husband made a reservation for my birthday dinner and the food, service and atmosphere was exceptional. Our server Francisco was top notched and very professional in detailing the menu and offering suggestions on drinks and food. A must go to when in DC, you won’t be disappointed.“

“Eclectic steak/seafood. We had a mix and all said it was great. Filet was perfect. Good service from quick appetizers to timely meals and refills. Good bar product but pricey. Overall a great business meal. I love this place as it reflects old Washington and is a power brokers place. Nick is a master at running his shop and the kitchen never fails in my experience... it has gotten a bit pricey but that won't stop me from returning to the Monocle!“

“This place was good, we ordered the lobster deviled eggs, fish and chips, mussels, and lobster roll. The lobster roll was good, I would have liked it to be meatier. The lobster deviled eggs were great! The mussels were okay…the flavor was good but some of the mussels were chewy and dry.The service and the location were great! I can’t believe I didn’t take more pics of my food!“

“This was my first visit, a suggestion from my sister. I started with the crab hush puppies (delicious!). As an entree, I chose the creole shrimp fettuccini (very good). My server (Amy-excellent!) was attentive and engaging, which enhanced my overall experience. The whole atmosphere had a vibe that was very inclusive and fun. I will definitely return.“

“This was the first time I have ever been here and it was nothing but AMAZING. We had a party of 7 and we were seated in the back party room. Our server was very attentive and patient. I was in awe of the brunch menu. So many options! I 10/10 recommend this restaurant and everything we ordered was delicious! We ordered: Beef Tartare Wood Fire Chicken Thighs Grilled Shrimp and Avocado Salad Pork Schnitzel House Ground Prime Dry Aged Burger Steam Blue Muscles“

“Absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. Don't miss a stop here when you're in DC. This place is special. Food was spectacular and ambience and service were as exceptional as you will find. Special thanks to Erin, Adam, and our truly personable waiter, Noe. Until we meet again. Darren D. Wantagh, NY“

“The food here is AMAZING. I'm actually glad this place is far from me and on the expensive side because if it was closer and cheaper I'd be eating here constantly. My table got the waygu egg rolls, Mac and cheese, broccolini, Hawaiian steak, jerk crab cakes, and the jerk lollipop chicken. All of it was on point. Drinks are pretty expensive for what you get. That was probably the only disappointment. Music is a little loud for my liking but it is a minor nit in an absolutely amazing experience.“

“First of all I want to thank our server, Kay for being awesome!! She gave us recommendations which were all delicious! She even threw in some bday treats for my gf and I. She was super attentive and friendly. The food was awesome and so were the mimosas!!“

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting Los Caballeros for their weekend brunch and I must say, it was a truly delightful experience.As soon as I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles from the staff and the owner himself. The ambiance of the restaurant was inviting and had a laid-back vibe, perfect for a lazy weekend brunch.Now let's talk about the food. Los Caballeros proved to be a pleasant surprise. They were able to accommodate options for vegetarians, vegans, and pescatarians. But what truly stole the show for me were the drinks. I highly recommend trying their pitcher of tamarindo margarita. It was the perfect blend of sweet and tangy, and definitely hit the spot. They also had other options like mimosas and bloody marys for those who prefer a classic brunch drink.The owner, who was also our server, was incredibly friendly and attentive. He made sure we were enjoying our meal and even gave us some recommendations for their signature dishes. It was evident that he takes great pride in his restaurant and wants his customers to have a memorable experience.To end our brunch on a sweet note, we decided to try their dessert. And let me tell you, it was the perfect ending to a perfect meal.Overall, my experience at Los Caballeros was exceptional. From the food to the drinks to the service, everything was top-notch. I highly recommend checking them out for their weekend brunch or even for a regular meal. The owner and his team have truly created a welcoming and enjoyable dining experience for their customers. So next time you're in the mood for some delicious food, head over to Los Caballeros and treat yourself to a delightful brunch. You won't regret it.Parking: This area of parking gets very busy due to being right beside the area of the Capitol.“

“In love with this restaurant went the first time for Restaurant week . I felt in love with their ceviche. My husband and I are coming every Friday since for birria tacos , ceviche and margaritas!Everything is amazing from the Birria omelette to the flan. I can recommend enough this amazing place !!“

“Ambiance is an interesting hole in the wall. We begin with the fluffy warm bread. Soft and fresh and distracting from eating. Then the octopus salad. The octopus is just right; a good sear with a bit of smoky taste, cooked through and just right. Mussels: served with a few pieces of chorizo. Not too many to blot out the flavor of the mussels, mind you. The mussels were a bit dry, this one wasn't swimming in liquid like other places so it. Always fall for the liquid, ordering extra bread to dip into it like a weirdo. Grand marnier soufflés were good. Ask about the dog biscuits!“

“This was our second time visiting Giovanni's Trattu. The restaurant is very small with approximately 50 seats, so reservations are a must. We visited mid-week at 6:30 (with a reservation). We were seated immediately upon our arrival. We were a party of 2. We ordered garlic bread, we split a Caesar Salad, we both chose the Chicken Parmesan, and we had the Spumoni Bomba for dessert. The garlic bread was a bit bland. I would pass on that next time. The salad was good. But the Chicken Parmesan was one of the best we have ever had. Definitely a wonderful choice. And the Bomba was great as well. It gets busy and with a small family run restaurant they get a little overwhelmed. The service was good and the people are friendly. Make this one of your stops when in the area!“

“Beautiful restaurant overlooking the water, outstanding service, and amazing seafood. I had read some of the reviews that were less than stellar but everything that we ordered was fantastic. We started off with their eggplant appetizer, which was full roasted eggplant -- delicious. For the main entree, I was debating between their grilled calamari and the scallops and the server recommended we share a half portion of the calamari and get the scallops. Great recommendation. The scallops were out of this world and a generous portion too. My wife's fish was delicious as well. No complaints about anything. The prices are a bit on the higher side but it's worth it when the food and the ambiance matches expectations. A definite 5 star for me.“

“On February 17, 2024, I had the pleasure of dining at Truluck's Ocean Finest Seafood restaurant, following a recommendation from my son who had visited two weeks prior. From the moment we arrived, the exterior design of the building beckoned us inside with its inviting allure, earning a solid 5-star rating.Inside, we were warmly greeted by the maitre d'. Despite not having reservations for the elegant dining section, we were graciously offered a seat at a group of tables in the bar area, further enhancing our initial impression with another 5-star rating.Although I typically shy away from shellfish, I was delighted to find an extensive menu offering a variety of seafood, as well as options from land and scales. This diverse selection easily earns a well-deserved 5-star rating.The ambiance inside the restaurant was truly spectacular, setting the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. Our table server went above and beyond, providing samples of the menu items and offering detailed descriptions along with pricing information, earning yet another 5-star rating.Following her recommendations, I decided to try the yellowtail raw fish, mashed potatoes, lobster bisque, and crab fried rice. Each dish was expertly prepared, and the flavors were simply divine. The yellowtail raw fish, in particular, was a revelation for me, and I even contemplated ordering the raw salmon to compare the two dishes, solidifying a perfect 5-star rating.As we enjoyed our meal, we were treated to delightful entertainment by a talented one-man band, who sang, played piano, and entertained us with his musical prowess. The musical group, Wild Cherry would be proud to say, "Play that funky music whiteboy!?!" His performance added an extra layer of enjoyment to our dining experience, earning yet another 5-star rating.My final thoughts, I am immensely grateful to my son for introducing me to Truluck's Ocean Finest Seafood. I eagerly look forward to future visits, knowing that each time, I will be welcomed into the same enjoyable atmosphere that made this dining experience truly exceptional.Parking: The underground layout of parking is broken down into color codes. We traveled many level underground but had to navigate in the parking area to exit. Because you need a parking permit, we had to exit in the red area which brought us up several blocks away from the restaurant.“

“Sat the bar on a solo sunday funday. It's on a nice street with street vendors. I came for the food and wasn't disappointed. The she crab soup was very good. I can't tell if the base was store bought but amount of sherry was spot on. I would probably say that if I wanted she crab soup, I'd go here from here on out. They had some soft shells and they were delicious. I should have asked for capers but that's just my preference. Drinks were well made. All in all, a tasty treat. I can't speak to the dinner experience though I'm tempted to try.“

“Fun spot for dinner and good food. Our server was very nice, yet didn't course out our food, so we had two pasta dishes and fish show up at the same time. The octopus starter was my favorite dish. The pasta and fish were also good, but not necessarily the hottest when we ate them, given everything arriving at once“

“3-stars for service due to multiple requests for a finger bowl of warm water. When the requested was answered, it was presented in an aluminum bowl, plated, with a drying cloth ... but the water was cold!I agree with the reviews, $100 per person, we ordered tapas servings, no entrees. No dessert. Drinks ordered. Everything tasted wonderful. Over priced. You're paying for the location.“

“It's one of the best lobster rolls I've had with a great price point. Paid 20 bucks for a roll and topped it off with a lobster tail for an extra 5 bucks. It was so much lobster ! The meat was sweet and perfectly cooked. Roll was a tad too buttery for my liking.I also got a side of clam chowder, which was really good as well.The place is small and not reccomend for large group dine-in unless you're getting it to go. It's more of an order-at-the-counter and seat yourself type of place.Writing this review is making me drool ?.I'm going to have to mark this place as my to-go every time I'm in town!If you love yourself, get yourself a lobster roll from here and add that extra tail.“

“Literally the best seafood spot I’ve been to in the DMV. They have a ton of options and all of the staff is extremely helpful. Douglas helped me out while I was there and took care of me super fast. I highly recommend this spot to anyone and I WILL be back !“

“Love the ambiance here! Very historic with a twist of modern decor! It's that winding staircase for me! Located inside the Moxy hotel, this place is super cute! We celebrated a friend's birthday over dinner! Everyone had an amazing time. The service was very good. The steak frites was delicious. Their well-crafted cocktails are excellent. Parking can be tricky, but I lucked out and snagged a spot across the street! I plan to come back for brunch!!“

“Estuary in DC offered a vibrant setting for a memorable date night, with its lively music and sultry atmosphere. Sipping on the THYME OF THE SEASON cocktail, a delicious concoction of Tomcat Barr Hill Gin, Williams Pear Brandy, lemon, and thyme, I found myself immersed in the energetic ambiance of the venue. I came for a nightcap with friends after a conference but would've stayed longer if I could have. The dim lighting, high ceilings and interesting art created a dynamic atmosphere that exuded sensuality, setting the stage for a great time. Despite the lively atmosphere, the panoramic views of the city provided a captivating backdrop, adding a touch of intimacy to the experience. Whether you're looking to spice up your date night or simply enjoy a night out with someone special, Estuary in DC offers a vibrant setting and delicious cocktails that are sure to impress. A little on the pricey side, but the views don't get better. Service was ok.“

“we went to the Vegas location and how Gordon Ramsay can put his name to the crap this place serves up is beyond belief. the batter is way to thick and over cooked and the highlight should not be the Dijon mayonnaise that comes with the food. terrible food and a waste of $39“

“Food was amazing! Service was top tier. Drinks were perfect. Price is what should be expected for a steakhouse with an enjoyable experience. I loved the ambiance and diversity! The managers were readily available if we needed anything that required attention.“

“Cant wait to come back with warmer weather. Food seemed pricey at first but between what you get and quality, it was on point and now want to try lots more on the menu. Atmosphere was chill and vibrant. Took care of me and my friend at the bar. Loved it.“

“We came here for dinner and had a pretty good time. The host was not that friendly, but the wait staff was awesome. The half-shelled oysters were good, ceasar salad was good, and all of the deep-fried food was great. We got popcorn shrimp and calamari (size small), fried oysters (size small), and French fries; they were fresh, crispy, and not oily.“

“I want to start by saying, this is a very clean establishment. Staff is very friendly and they show you, your food before you leave. Everything is fresh and cooked to order. You can request, to have your food, lightly seasoned or a lot of seasoning. I recommend the Jumbo shrimp!!! Not like most carry-outs, it’s cooked fresh, not frozen, and absolutely delicious. The shrimp fried rice is loaded with shrimp!! I highly recommend, This is Seafood!!! You won’t be disappointed!! I will be visiting again, I want to try the seafood boil.“

“I am so glad we chose Floriana to grab dinner on our trip to DC. A friend of mine had recommended so we obliged. We got a table outside. Got started with some cocktails and bread that was on the house. We skipped appetizers and went straight to grabbing some pastas! I had the pork belly pasta and my husband got the sea food pasta. The portion was pretty decent. We couldn't finish and had leftovers! The service was bit slow, it took sometime to get our food.“

“Absolutely wonderful!!Oliver did a wonderful job serving my family. I took my parents, who live in Pennsylvania, here to show them old town.I am so thrilled we picked this spot. We got the chowder, shrimp and grits, and crab cake sandwich. That shrimp and grits was chefs kiss.They even treated us to key lime pie for my 30th ☺️ what a wonderful way to leave my 20s“

“Bar Spero was exceptional. Far more a restaurant than a bar. Though drinks were also brilliant. The bartender Savi proved a knowledgable mixologist. If you enjoy mezcal I highly recommend the Dead Lady cocktail. The drink was smoky but well balanced and smooth enough to be dangerous.However, the drinks were only a prelude, the true fire of Bar Spero is the food. Our meal was a delightful, delicious, delectable multisensory feast.Everything was amazing from the cucumber, herb salad to the burnt cheese cake ice cream. However, my personal highlight was the seafood. I'd recently returned from a beach trip and assure you everything tasted catch of the day fresh. The raw oysters were some of the best I've had. The grilled octopus was sweet, tender and cooked to perfection, it's sauce, a squid ink reduction only emphasized the utter genius therein. Though all the seafood from Jonah Crab Rice to the Tuna Tostadas to the Ember Roasted Scallops were unforgettably delicious. The food could make a convert out of me and will out of you.Our server Blithe was personable, humorous and attentive, without hovering. Her table service was impeccable and she clearly loved her job. Though really all of the service was noteworthy. The communal feel of Bar Spero made it feel like a family. (I love that tips are split front to back of the house)It was an honor when Chef Jason came to out to our table to greet us. This man is an artist, his work practically brought me to tears of joy repeatedly.Do your self a favor and go to Bar Spero, you will thank me for it.Dietary restrictions: I am gluten free and found many options on the menu.Parking: It took a few minutes looking but we found parking in front of the GAO“

“This is me and my daughter's Tuesday happy hour spot and we love it. The food comes out fast and hot and it is delicious. They have plenty of parking, the prices are reasonable. Ask for Biannca whenever you come she is wonderful and she knows how to make a great drink. 2 thumbs up!Parking: Plenty of spots“

“Had a Lobster Roll at some other place at National Harbor. That wasn't so great, had very high hopes as it boasted to be Maryland's best! Anyway, walked around and found Mason's! And boy, am I glad I did! We ordered the Connecticut Lobster Roll which is served warm with butter! These guys know how to make Lobster Rolls! You know how it is when you eyes widen up after that first bite? Of course, you do! Wow factor definitely there! This place is a must try! Highly recommended, fellow Yelpers! #lobsterroll #mainelobster #lobster #delicious #deliciousfood #connecticutroll #butter #nationalharbor #Maryland #outoftown #visitmaryland #outoftowner #visiting #worktravellife #worktravels #pinoyfoodie #socalweekendwalkarounds #yelp #yelpelite #outofstate“

“Food was so good, I was dancing the wholeTime while I was eating ?The beef suya was really tender, and it was the extra hot but I could tolerate it. The jollof was great and smoky flavor (party rice). The plantains were extra ripe and the way I like it. I am of Nicaraguan decent and enjoy maduros so if you like ripe ripe plantains then you will love them. The Zobo-lemonade was so good. I wonder if they make it in house. Nicaraguans drink it too but we call it “Jamaica”. The efo riro was great, small portion but great flavor. The suya wings were crispy and flavorful, I prefer flats so that’s the only thing that could have been better. Yeah, I’m doing the hour drive for spice kitchen very soon!!“

“Don’t let Atxondo’s modest looks deceive you. I was skeptical but some friends wanted to try this place so I went along. I was very pleasantly surprised. We ate vegetarian and everything was excellent. I can recommend the brussel sprouts, tortilla española, crispy potatoes, coliflor, golden beets, fried shishitos, and risotto. I almost forgot to mention the interesting drink menu and the best flan I’ve ever had. Service was great too. Go with a group so you can try everything!“

“It's a fabulous place with the only downside that the wait staff insert themselves too much into the dinner conversation. They feel as members of the dinner party, piping it at will, which provides for an uncomfortable experience if you're there to visit with your dinner guests.“

“This place was absolutely amazing! I have family from NOLA and have had a hard time finding a place that knows how to make a proper roux for an etouffe, but this place nailed it! I had the Oysters Bayou, and my boyfriend had the Steak Pontchartrain. Both were cooked to perfection. We had made a reservation and even though we were a tad late they promptly sat us, and the staff was amazing & friendly. Definitely come hungry because the portion sizes are huge!“

“The lobster rolls and lobster bisque are DELICIOUS! Quick service and high-quality food that really satisfies that seafood craving. The inside of the restaurant is nice and modern, but doesn't have much seating beyond 5 or so groups, so first come, first serve on those. Well worth the trip!“

“This place is a gem.. def lives up to neighborhood bar vibes.. it feels like family, every time.. the food hasn't missed and drinks do what needs to be done.. I recommend the oysters, ceviche, cubano, and banoffee.. I have to try more things but im sure it won't disappoint“

“My husband and I came to celebrate his birthday. The food and service is excellent. Never once did I have to ask for more water. The server was very attentive. We shared a seafood sampler for 3, very good spicy soup (can’t recall the name), and lobster pasta. Delicious!!!“
