Just wow! The atmosphere the service was EXCELLENT (William) our server was very knowledgeable of the menu and offered great recommendations! We just had to ask if they'd be open on the holiday and since they are they can expect to see us there! The food..... it has been a long time since I've been blown away ! We had the Snapper Verde and the Louisiana Catfish Matrimony along with Crab Dip and Rhode Island Calamari !!!! It was packed with flavor but didn’t taste one bit of SALTY, everything blended well together... tried to make it back for Christmas but sadly they were closed early ;( I am trying to go at least five more times before I leave so I can taste some more items from the menu !

In general a good restaurant, good food, nice atmosphere. Mike gave us good service. The only thing the pop corn shrimps were not crisps enough. The crab cake was delicious. But recommended.

This was our 1st time eating at this location. The food was tasty. Music nice. Our server Lena although friendly. Made us feel some kind of way. Compared to how she treated the guest on either side of us. She seemed to be much more friendly to them. We don't like to think it was because of how we were dressed. Jeans & sneakers. Or that we're black. Which would be really sad. Considering she's black as well. We'll be back. Dressed differently. And hope that Lena is there.

When you visit please ask for Super Woman Ms. Rma!! She is the greatest waitress I have EVER had!!! The food here is so flavorful, so wonderful, so tasty!! The food is fresh, the atmosphere is lovely, overall just an exceptional experience!!!

Service was really warm. Though the server came to my table too frequently for taking away my empty plates...The New England Fried Clam with mayo was my favorite! The Seafood Casserole was acceptable, as there was not too much lobster in it but scallop instead. And I have to say the Maple Bread Pudding was way too sweet.....But the vanilla ice cream and maple syrup on it were amazing!

Great Food, friendly service, excellent happy hour specials, good location. Stopped by Legal Sea Foods while in DC this past weekend. It is a great location right next to the hockey stadium. The inside of the restaurant was clean and modern. We ordered the Sriracha shrimp as an appetizer. The small shellfish tower (4 jumbo shrimp, half lobster, 4 oysters, and 4 clams). And then 6 extra oysters. Everything we ordered was on happy hour, so it was half off, or on special. With the happy hour prices, everything was very reasonably priced. Everything we ate was delicious. We also ordered a Bloody Mary which they made spicy for me, and the sangria which was very good, but a little sweet for my liking. The bartenders were all very friendly and explained the menu to us, as well as made sure to check on us the whole time. I would definitely return here.

Soup with bread is nice. We ordered pasta with shrimp and garlic which is nice. Grilled fish is not that tasty, if you order I recommend mushed sweet potatoes as side. Pricy food with good environment and service.

Fantastic food! Great service as well! I got the seafood casserole and was not disappointed! It was delicious and fresh! Warm rolls were also brought to us which were a yummy addition. Our waiter was friendly and provided excellent service! Highly recommend!
