Best Seafood Restaurants in West End

My favorite thing about Ruth’s Chris is consistency. They nail the ribeye every single time, to perfection. On top of that, their wait staff always makes me feel at home. Very pleasant experience all around.

Simply the BEST! There is a reason our dear friend requested her birthday celebration be at The Prime Rib. The delicious cocktails are prepared just to our specifications. The food is always excellent (prime rib, medium rare, done perfectly!); the service is sublime; and the ambiance is beautiful, along with the melodious sounds of the piano close by. We had a remarkable time, lost in the beauty of dining in a scene reminiscent of a long-ago and far away steak house. The Christmas decorations added to the magic. Thank you for an amazing dining experience.

Our dining experience (me and my family) that perfectly blends impeccable cuisine with an elegant atmosphere and top-notch service. From the moment you walk in, the attention to detail and spotless environment make you feel welcomed and valued. The meal begins with their famous bread basket, which is a true standout. The parmesan bread is soft and flavorful, while the cornbread, with its subtle hint of jalapeño, adds a unique twist. It’s hard to resist asking for a second basket. Their Negroni is nothing short of perfection—expertly balanced, showcasing the classic cocktail’s rich and sophisticated character. It’s the ideal pairing for any dish on the menu. The tuna steak was absolutely outstanding. Perfectly seared and paired with a ginger ponzu sauce, it delivered a harmonious balance of flavors and textures that left a lasting impression. The lobster claws were another highlight—simply spectacular. The freshness and quality of the seafood, paired with flawless preparation, made them an absolute treat. Finally, the Key Lemon Pie was the perfect way to end the meal. Creamy, with just the right balance of sweetness and tartness, and a perfectly crisp crust, it was an unforgettable dessert. We were fortunate to be served by Megan, who was attentive, friendly, and made the experience even more delightful. Her professionalism and warm demeanor truly elevated our visit. In summary, Joe’s Seafood is not just about excellent food—it’s about a complete dining experience, elevated by impeccable service and a refined atmosphere. A must-visit in Washington, D.C.! Highly recommended!

A wonderful Christmas dinner here. Food was plentiful and well prepared. Starter and dessert served by waiter. The main course and sides were buffet. Choice of turkey, salmon, lamb, and/or ham. Dozen side dishes. Something for all tastes. Loved the warm rolls. Plenty of street parking on Christmas but not regular work days.. Our second Christmas here. Plan to return next Christmas. Also I have eaten here on other occasions and food is uniformly good.

This was our first time dining here and the food was delicious, the service was excellent, and I enjoyed the music.
