Tony and Joe's Seafood Place

"Right across from Fiola Mare, you’ll find Tony & Joe’s Seafood Place, another restaurant that has graced the Washington Harbour for decades. While the seafood consistently misses some essential seasonings and flavor, the patio’s waterfront views are even better than the ones at Fiola Mare because it's unobstructed by boats parked in front of the restaurant. Settle in, munch on your could-be-better mussels, and ponder how this ended up being the highlight of your week." - tristiana hinton, omnia saed

"Georgetown’s decades-old waterfront stalwart sources from Profish, D.C.’s largest fresh seafood wholesaler. Highlights include Rhode Island calamari, Boston clam chowder, whole fried branzino, oyster shooters, and whole steamed New England lobsters with huge helpings of roasted potatoes, broccoli, and carrots. Swing by on Mondays for a one-pound lobster special (with a beer) for $30. It’s easy to make friends at its no-frills outdoor bar next to Washington Harbor’s fountain, with ample indoor seating too." - Tierney Plumb, Missy Frederick, Eater Staff
