Our server was super fun and nice and attentive. They have the best lobster bisque on the planet, hands down. They put it as the base of their lobster/mussel/shrimp dish which was amazing. I had the lobster risotto and it was perfect. The lobster was delicate, the risotto was that absolutely perfect texture righttttt beyond al dente. Risotto is hard to nail, but it was perfect. They pack all their dishes with plenty of herbs and flavor. Highly highly recommend coming here!

The restaurant is relatively small so make sure you have a reservation. Decor is modern and nautical-themed. For my appetizer, I had the lobster bisque. It surely was not the greatest bisque I've had. While there were lobster chunks in the soup, the overall taste of the bisque was a miss for me. For my entree, I had the Whole Main Lobster with Linguine Shrimp. I opted for the Pomodoro with Pink Sauce. This dish had just the right seasoning. The seafood was tender -- not tough. Just an all around great dish! If I didn't live so far, I'd visit more often! Try it for yourself -- cheers!

This is when I was totally floored... for starters the assorted bread basket for the table is absolutely delicious ( I literally had to force myself to stop alternating between the muffins and mini biscuits ) Since I was eating light today I ordered the seafood salad ( chilled lobster & shrimp on top ) and the salad was so fresh and had that crisp salad crunch that mesmerized my taste buds with every bite !!! DC hands down is one of the top restaurant city's in the country and Joe's Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab is a big reason I can make that statement with absolute confidence !!!

We ordered:…read more cod sandwich, multiple crab cake sandwiches, salmon sandwich, seafood salad, fried oysters. and sides of many types. All offerings were great - crabcakes weren't huge but were mainly crab. Fried proteins were executed quite well. Potato salad was the best of the sides, even as they were all solid. Would get each dish again. You order at the counter and then get served outside (or inside), and in many cases, this dynamic means service isn't great, but in the case of Georgetown Seafood, the service was exceptional.

It has been years since I have eaten at Hank's. Too long really. But we wanted some seafood and…read moretheir Dupont location was close so - off we went. We were seated immediately and the dining room is adequate. Sufficiently decorated to make it okay. It is furnished for maximum occupancy which is fine. Think casual place, almost bar with food, not fancy at all. I do not mean for this to be a negative comment. Hank's presents itself as more of a beachside joint, not a high end seafood restaurant. Each of these sorts of restaurants has a place in the spectrum. Our waiter - Keith or Kevin - I'm so sorry but I cannot remember his name - was GREAT! Funny, good at his job, great personality and helpful. He started out with a corny, but cute, joke and he kept getting better all night. The manager too was quite good, professional and friendly. What a great staff! The food is good. I could talk about the lobster bisque (a bit on the strong side) or the flounder (a bit on the salty side). But, honestly, the food was good and I enjoyed it a lot. I did not complain about any of it nor do I think a complaint was necessary. So, as I said before, it had been years since I had last eaten at Hank's. But it won't be that long anymore. I recommend Hank's for a casual seafood meal.

I finally checked out Hank's Oyster Bar for their Monday $1 oyster special, and it lived up to the…read morehype. I sat at the bar to access happy hour (bar-only, but oysters are available everywhere). Ordered a dozen oysters, bacon-topped deviled eggs, Old Bay fries, a salmon slider, and a tequila pineapple drink. Everything was solid-- the oysters were fresh, the deviled eggs were flavorful, and the Old Bay fries were perfectly seasoned. The standout for me was the salmon slider-- the sauce was so good I wish I ordered more. Great vibe for a casual happy hour. I'd definitely come back, especially for the $1 oysters.

They have a nice selection of cocktails and beer. The salade verte was artistically presented with radishes and a nice vinaigrette. It was topped with green beans which seemed a tad odd.

The frites were tasty and crispy and the steak was cooked well. The steak was slightly small. The roasted salmon was cooked perfectly--very moist and a crisp skin. The fava beans and pea sauce was very creamy. The trout amandine was also cooked well with crispy skin. FYI It is cooked in a ton of butter. We did not order any of the dishes suggested by our waiter LOL, he steered us to the most expensive entrees. His service was quite good, perhaps a tiny bit snooty.

Its menu is seafood focused but there really is something for everyone. I've visited for brunch and HHs and enjoyed each visit. Personal favorites: The coal roasted oysters, miso butter in particular, are fantastic. I literally dream about them LOL. The grilled calamari is smoky yet vinegary and vibrant. The beet and burrata salad has a great texture as a compliment to the grilled dishes. For brunch, I have enjoyed the Chesapeake Benedict and the mushroom frittata. Overall, the seafood is so fresh and high quality. Portions are great for sharing yet not super sized and it is so delicious that you won't bring anything home. If you are budget conscious and enjoy oysters, the half price raw oysters plus a few appetizers will be a great way to enjoy Cordelia Fishbar. Cocktails: a creative menu and beautiful glassware. The mocktail menu is not as large as I hoped but the flavor offerings are not too sugary. Highly recommend adding this to your brunch and HH spots and enjoy!

The garlic noodles were a 7.5/10, and the Brussels sprouts were an 8.5/10. The ambiance was great--we loved the views and the music they were playing. The staff was also very attentive about clearing the table, which we appreciated. To top it off, they surprised my wife with a birthday treat and a beautiful card, which was such a thoughtful touch. We'll definitely be back!

We arrived to the area at 4:30, but due to the confusing and poorly marked parking situation, we were unable to get to the restaurant entrance until about 4:50. The nearby parking garage that was suggested was extremely difficult to navigate. I strongly recommend valet parking for anyone considering dining here. Because of our delayed arrival, we were not seated in the booth I had requested and were instead placed at a table in front of a window. The service was extremely slow. It took nearly four hours to receive our complete meal, which is unacceptable. To make matters worse, we ordered a Caesar salad and a lobster bisque as starters, and they were never brought to the table. No explanation was given. The food did not justify the $405 total bill. My mashed potatoes were cold. The calamari was overwhelmingly sweet with no depth of flavor. I ordered the king crab leg for $175 and was shocked to discover that it was a single leg. That was not made clear when ordering, and for that price, the portion and overall quality were very disappointing. The only positive note was that my husband did enjoy his steak. I chose not to complain during the meal because I do not like sending food back, but the overall experience was unsatisfying and not worth the cost. We will not be returning.
