"The Point is the only spot on this list that you can float up to on a Boston Whaler. They’ve got a big waterfront patio on a tributary of the Chesapeake and $5 drafts at happy hour, which starts at 4pm, which means it’s usually full before sundown. Get the lump crab dip in a brioche bread bowl and served with pretzels, or the ahi tuna tacos with wasabi dijon cream, wrapped in both a hard and soft shell." - madeline weinfield
"Buzzard Point is also home to seafood standby The Point, a well-known seafood restaurant in the area." - Emily Venezky
"D.C.’s prized riverfront destination perfectly situated between the Potomac and Anacostia offers a reasonably priced chilled seafood platter for $62. It comes with six Chesapeake oysters, four jumbo shrimp, a half-pound lobster, cocktail sauce, and mignonette. The thick fries add a nice touch to the priceless view." - Claudia Rosenbaum
"The Point is always a solid choice because there are so many ways to enjoy the Navy Yard seafood restaurant’s waterfront views. Sit by the fire pits or on the patio for the clearest looks at the river. Grab one of the orange leather booths if you’re snuggling up, or at a table out back if you need a safe distance from the new coworker in your group—all of which give you at least a sneaking glance at the water.

"This anticipated seafood spot and wood-burning grill on the Buzzard Point waterfront opened in spring 2021 with seafood dishes that swing from simple (peel-and-eat shrimp) to novel; order the buttery, savory doughnuts that have been lightened up with potato starch, piped full of crab dip, and dusted in Old Bay seasoning. Diners can also enjoy salmon, tuna, and hamachi at a newly added sushi bar. The picturesque venture outfitted with fire pits comes from family-owned Fish & Fire Food Group (Nick’s Riverside Grill, Tony & Joe’s Seafood Place, The Tavern at Ivy City Smokehouse)." - Vinciane Ngomsi
