Nantucket-style seafood with New England & Baja eats
"If you want the best seafood in DC, head to Millie’s. The New England-style restaurant is full of folks in top-siders dreaming about Capri or St. Barts while a giant compass on the wall indicates they're a mere 4,606 and 1,689 miles away, respectively. You’ll see plenty of quesadillas and tacos floating around the room, but do not get distracted. You want the juicy seared scallops with cheesy orzo and the buttery swordfish kebob that smells just as good as it tastes. Come here for weeknight dinner with family or friends." - tristiana hinton, madeline weinfield, liz tracy
"Per Washingtonian, around eight or nine agents dressed in a mix of plain clothes and gun-toting ICE gear swarmed a Spring Valley restaurant right before lunch service started. "They all came in all of the public entrances at the same time," owner Bo Blair told the publication. He added that the restaurant could not produce its I-9 employment verification forms because they’re stored at its corporate office, not at the restaurant. "We were under the impression that they were focusing on trying to find criminals," Blair told Washingtonian. "And this is just a whole new level of harassment to our hard-working, law-abiding employees." The group's CEO Marisa Casey said, "They made it pretty public that they’re coming back to the restaurant on Monday [to collect the forms], which is pretty unnerving to the staff, obviously," and added, "We also don’t want them to go back to our restaurants scare everybody." Blair told Eater he’s going on NBC4 this evening to discuss the incident." - Tierney Plumb
"Beginning at 2:30 p.m. join fellow fans on a heated, tented patio complete with four TV screens, full sound, and tables for up to six. Drink specials include $25 buckets of Miller Lite and there are specials on bites like edamame, nachos, sushi, cheeseburger sliders, and honey garlic wings; indoors there are also multiple TVs if the bar feels more your speed." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Diners may feel like they’ve stumbled into Nantucket instead of quiet Spring Valley at this preppy, seafood-centered restaurant. Open from 11 a.m. until midnight most days, Millie’s serves poke, soft-shell crab, lobster rolls, and salads. It’s also known for an extensive seafood taco menu and an ice cream takeout window." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Family-friendly Millie’s is renowned for its frosé on tap. Rosé blends with vodka, strawberry, and lemon that results in a creamy and refreshing beverage you’ll crave year-round." - Vinciane Ngomsi
