We were introduced to California Fish Grill through a Yelp event and now my family are regulars!…read more Where else can you get fresh, tasty, healthy sustainable seafood options at an affordable prices. The answer is ... nowhere but California Fish Grill! Their menu is super varied so it is one of the few fast casual places that our entire family can enjoy. Husband goes for the protein bowls, kiddos go for the battered fish / chicken tenders, and I love the grilled rockfish, cauliflower mash, and extra crispy/seasoned fries. We took our in laws here and they loved it so much that they ended up going back the next day by themselves. Service is super friendly as well.

Cooked well Salmon- also cooked well and seasoned well Grilled chicken tender- a little dry. Under-seasoned but was good with their sauces/ dressings Cajun Shrimp- cooked well not rubbery or overcooked. Seasoned well Cajun Fish- seems to be swai in Cajun seasoning. Yum. Brussels sprouts- my favorite!! Flavorful Fire roasted corn- second favorite. Tasted buttery Diced zucchini and rosemary- cooked well but rosemary heavy- rosemary is my least favorite herb lol Fries were underwhelming but I know they were probably sitting in the catering tray for some time Cauliflower rice- delicious!! Wouldn't miss rice at all Rice- fluffy and yum Cajun sauce- salty Greed goddess sauce- delicious. Tasted like some herby mayo

I've finally found authentic NE seafood in NoVA! I had a butter/CT lobster roll which had warm,…read moretender Maine lobster on a buttered, split-top roll. I upgraded my side to thin onion strips, which were incredibly thin and light (as they should be!) and served with Ned's sauce - delicious! My partner had the clam strip platter with fries and cole slaw. The clam strips reminded me of trips to the sound/shore for seafood dinners (and still tasted great as leftovers). The fries seem homemade/pressed in-house and the slaw was fabulous. Refreshing, not heavy or mayonaisy. We rounded out our dinners with NE canned beers - Fat Orange Cat and Jack's Abby (a crisp Bavarian lager, tastes like you're at a hoffbrauhaus).

Came here for a rainy Sunday morning brunch and was PLEASANTLY surprised! Though it may look…read moreunassuming from the outside, the inside is clean, beautifully decorated and even has a play area upstairs for babies and young children! Olivia greeted us when we walked in and was extremely helpful and very friendly! We ordered the lobster breakfast burrito and the White Hen breakfast sandwich with a side of breakfast potato's. Everything was DELICIOUS! Very fresh and well seasoned. We are so glad to have visited this hidden gem and will absolutely be back!

Parking can be tight at this plaza. Active construction and lots of 10 minute spaces be sure to read the signs and park where appropriate. Crab boil bags is what led us here! We browsed the menu before hand and they had me at custom! We were not limited to preselected items! And you can get boils with smaller amounts 1/2 pounds which you don't find at many crab boil places. Perfect for those who can't eat much or smaller appetite even as leftovers. I decided on the half pound headless shrimp, crab legs (my favorite!) and a lobster tail! We also got a bigger boil with a pound of head on shrimp, king crab legs, pound of scallops and some BBQ wings on the side. We tried the combo sauce "Crazy special" a mix of Cajun, garlic, and lemon pepper. Boils come with corn, potatoes, and sausage! There was so much food!!!! The wings came out hot, saucy, and still crispy with some house ranch on the side. Then came the boils. Just look at them!!!!!!! The seafood with fresh with actual garlic, fresh parsley, and saucy. Sauce was buttery, garlic was plentiful, good lemon pepper taste. Cajun was present but not strong. But the buttery goodness pooled at the bottom of our pans. Perfect for ensuring all bites were saucy bites. Rez stopped by to make sure we were good during our meal. We received snow crab instead of King on our big boil. Rez acknowledged the mistake and immediately made it right, no fuss, no making us feel bad, not even taking the incorrect legs back. Just phenomenal service and showing care for his customers. It was a meal well enjoyed in a good atmosphere. We saw several groups and families dining while we were there. Its a place you feel welcome, not rushed, and want to visit again! And we will! Of course we couldn't finish! And wrapped up leftovers to go! Also there's an all you can eat special $59.99/person. Definitely worth it for those who can put away some seafood! And last thing- there's a hand washing station outside of the at back of restaurant prior to restroom area so you can freshen before and after eating and not need to go inside the restroom. Thank you for this!!!!!

Hi, I was just yelled at by a MANAGER over the phone about…read moremy phone complaint. I called in to complain about my dine in meal on Monday at 8pm. The manager who sounded Indian was just hostile towards me over the phone and he even hung up the phone in my face just now. I told him my complaint in a calm tone, he was rude back to me the entire phone call. I mentioned a 1 star review and he got even more loud and hostile and hung up. I asked to speak w the owner and he knew he was not the owner. I don't want my complaint falling on deaf years. See below The catfish was cooked too hard with no seasoning The boil was bland We ate and paid $30 cash however due to being on a time schedule, we had somewhere to be at 9pm properly, we were in a rush we couldn't ask to re do our order what so ever, instead we thought to kindly complain later over the phone in peace.. Most of the food was just not good... Cooked properly muscles usually are wide open Most were closed as well

They have been voted Best Crabs inNVA several times. They get the biggest and meatiest crabs delivered fresh everyday. Along with the BEST crabs, we enjoy their large steamed shrimp, fresh oysters, corn on the cob, hush puppies and crab leg clusters and more. Billy, who owns and has run the crab house for many many years is a GEM. He will always welcome you and make sure you are happy with what you order. He and his crew are very friendly, loyal and always willing to help you with a smile. If you have not tried Captain Pell's, I highly suggest you do. Mother's Day is around the corner, great place to treat Mom. ***** 5 star rating Barbara

This place is so incredibly expensive for the quality of food and atmosphere you get…read more The excerpt of the original "Captain Pell" made me feel sentimental for a quick minute, but then I was transported back to reality when I looked around. A dozen crabs was pretty good for the most part, but you would think the presentation for $20 calamari and crab dip would be better than that of a high school lunch. Anything more than a dozen crabs is likely not going to be good. Going here is like going to an alternative universe where you are no longer in Fairfax. For a dozen crabs, crab dip, calamari served in a tin plate, 2 crab cakes, chicken tenders, a cold & sad lobster roll, hush puppies, and two corn on the cobs, we left paying $400. Do with that what you will.

We went here on a Sunday around 2pm to try the $1 Chesapeake oysters, and they were really good!…read moreFresh, decent sizes, no after taste at all and served very cold. I also ordered the seafood linguine white pasta which was just alright, but had a good serving of seafood in it. The tuna poke was one of the best! Refreshing, flavorful and good quality tuna. Servers are very attentive and the noise level is just ok. It might get just a bit louder on the bar area. Will definitely be back for the dollar oysters. PS: I had 16 lol

Came here to celebrate a birthday! We did happy hour oysters, which were $2 for a select variety…read more There was more variety than we thought, so we loved sampling them. We also got the broiled oysters and other happy hour menu items. We never got to go inside, since it was a lovely day and we sat outside! This meant it was quieter and chill vibes, which we liked. Be warned though that if it's around sunset, the sun will be directly setting on you. The service was also really great and quick. She was on top of checking on us and taking our orders when we wanted more happy hour bites.

This isn't too bad for the area! The crispy pan fried noodles was a very large generous portion…read morewhich can definitely feed more than one person. I wasn't the biggest fan of the sauce, but I really liked the way everything was cooked from the meats to the veggies. I like how there were two options for seafood or chicken, beef, or pork. My favorite thing was the spring rolls! I really like how it comes with both shrimp and pork and not just one or the other. I also really enjoyed the fish sauce because it had chunks of garlic and chili peppers in it. Our server was very nice. The restaurant was kind of dead so we did have to wave him down to get the check while he was sitting at another table on his phone. There is plenty of seating inside and I'm sure this place is even more fun at night. I would definitely love to come back to try other items!

I love Singaporean and Malaysian food so much but…read morethere aren't any in the 757 so really lucked out finding Southeast Impression so close to a random hotel we booked. The food came out really fast and our server was very attentive despite being busy. The decor was so spot on for Southeast Asia, I was transported there. There's an open kitchen and bar.They have an all gendered bathroom with a childcare station as well. I think I need to get a spicy serving rack for my house because I need it in my life. All the food we tried was amazing! Some stands outs were the chicken curry puff and duck wraps for appetizers. For mains the rendang and Khao soi. Honestly can't go wrong with anything on their menu. Will definetly be returning when I'm in the area!

Part of our family came 30 minutes later; we literally finished just on time. I'd recommend using the 2 hours to eat especially if you have a big group. Food is nothing to complain about. I thought everything was pretty authentic. And, portion sizes are good for the price. Nasi Lamek I got wasn't super oily and fried chicken was very well-seasoned. Appetizer platter is a good option if you don't know what to get. The panda crème brûlée was good, but I barely tasted the pandan. They might not have tables so I'd strongly recommend making a reservation!!

Mango lassi is thick and naturally flavorful, just wish it was colder. Chips and salsa are fresh and well-balanced. Marsala fries are crispy, flavorful, and unique; definitely a standout.

After an amazing lunch, glad I came back for happy hour a week later! Delicious Indian Mexican…read morefusion, the food is truly bursting with flavor and tickles my taste buds! The Combination platter of Paneer Enchilada and Potato Spinach and Cheese Taquito along with an a la carte Caulilflower taco was a great way to sample the menu! The Paneer Kathi roll is hands-down the best kati roll I've had! The Paneer Enchilada hit the spot with a creamy cheesy Tikka sauce while the the Spinach Cheese Potato Masala Taquito had a spicy kick! The Mexican rice was great for mopping up the sauce and absorbing the spiciness. It was a bummer the Cauliflower Taco wasn't an option for the Combination Platter of 3 (only the meat tacos were an option). I'm glad I ordered it a la carte for $8 - it was worth it! The crispy Cauliflower had a sweet and tangy sauce stuffed in 2 thin tortillas. Interestingly enough, all 3 items - the Enchilada, Taquito and taco had completely different sauces and flavors. The Happy Hour from 3-6:30pm Mon-Fri has good deals - try the Kathi Paneer roll! The roll is a generous size with tender scrumptious paneer stuffed in warm cheesy tortilla. I'll opt out of the jalapenos/chili next time. it added a spicy kick! The Masala Fries were like Indian version of spicy Disco fries. They were fun to try, but they were soggy from all of the sauce and a bit too spicy. I wish the sauces came on the side. The $8 flavored Margarita on happy hour is a great deal. I enjoy the Guava Margarita. The complementary chips were fine and a bit salty, nothing really special (I wouldn't fill up on them). The giant Watermelon Pina Colada Mocktail was very sweet and tasted like watermelon cotton candy slushie. My daughter loved it! I wasn't a fan of the Classic Margarita, Mezcal Passion fruit Margarita, or the Sangria on happy hour, the flavors weren't quite balanced out. The drinks were very tangy flavor and I wish the sangria was a bit sweeter and had a heavy flavor from the Triple Sec. I threw up outside the restaurant after drinking the Mezcal Passion fruit Margarita. Note - the restaurant doesn't take online or phone reservations for parties under 10, but I didn't wait long (10 min) for a party of 5 for Saturday lunch at 1pm (3 of 5 had to be there). Excited to come back to satisfy my cravings for the Paneer Enchiladas and Paneer Kathi Roll and Guava Margarita on happy hour!

Had brunch today at Draper's with my daughter and a friend. I will start off with our server Tate…read more Tate was a most pleasant and professional young man. Very attentive and "Johnny on the Spot" even though he was handling several tables. 5 stars for him! Next... The food. I ordered the Crabcake Benedict and my daughter and my friend both had Steak Benedict. We all agreed that the poached eggs were cooked perfectly, the hollandaise sauce was excellent and the potatoes were served hot and tasted great. I was the only one drinking alcohol and had the spiked cherry mimosa. Started our really tart.... Ended? Well... I drank 4 of them! LOL! 'Nuff said! I did not find out until after we left the restaurant that both my daughter and my friend felt like their steaks were bit overcooked, but to the restaurants defense, neither one of them told our waiter what temperature they would like to have it cook to and so I, and they, agreed that they both had enough experience eating in steakhouses to know to ask a steak to be cooked to whatever temperature they preferred. So this is not on anybody except them. I would ask the restaurant in the future to instruct their wait staff to ask anyone ordering steak,regardless of size, what they're preferred temperature is. That being said they said that the flavor of their steak was still excellent! It was my first time here and will certainly not be the last! I am a very, very picky eater and this is one of the best meals that I've enjoyed top to bottom in a long time!

Wanted to visit here with family since it's fairly new and we wanted to celebrate my birthday…read more Reservation was easy to get for a weekday dinner at 6. Parking lot isn't super big but we were able to get a spot. We got seated immediately. Restaurant had a nice classic look inside but the tables were a little too close together. We tried the Pan Seared Sea Bass and the Seafood Cioppino as well as the Calamari to start. Unfortunately they did not have the ribs despite its coming at the start of dinner. The Sea Bass was cooked well but not much seasoning, mostly the lemon sauce. We were told the Seafood Cioppino was spicy but there really not much spice at all. The Calamari was solid though. The vibe of the restaurant seemed more business so might have not been the right choice for a birthday dinner. No one acknowledged or asked about special occasions (I don't care since it was for me, I didn't make the reservation). The food was ok but I'm not sure I'll be dying to come back.
