"One of the newest spots in Union Market, Cordelia Fishbar is what the area was missing—a place casual enough to pop in after work without a reservation, but also delicious and buzzy enough to schedule a group dinner around. The fish-centric restaurant by the folks behind the iconic DC tavern Clyde’s excels in the group experience with soaring seafood towers filled with oysters, lobster salad, shrimp, and sturgeon caviar. Not in the mood for a fish high-rise? Their Rhode Island calamari, bluefin tuna tartar, and whole black sea bass are more subtle—but still delicious—options." - Madeline Weinfield
