Del Mar - Review - Wharf - Washington DC - The Infatuation
"In DC there’s pricey, and then there’s Wharf-pricey. And while a meal at Del Mar will set you back a few, the seafood here is good enough to make you forget about your checking account (at least until dinner is over). Del Mar has the hallmarks of what the Wharf is known for—it’s flashy, super large, and filled with tourists, but what sets it apart is the consistently excellent dishes coming out of the kitchen. Inspired by the Spanish coast, the menu revolves around fresh seafood. We love the sizzling Andalusian shrimp to start, as well as the giant crispy Branzino and sashimi crudo, both of which can feed at least two hungry people. Some dishes, like the snapper filet, are served without vegetable accompaniments, so you’ll want to load up on the sides—and you can’t go wrong with the bravas potatoes and the pan con tomate. photo credit: Christie Allison" - Madeline Weinfield
