Last night tabletop dinner:…read more Great space and excellent seafood tower. Everything was expensive, but in-line or decently priced for fresh shellfish. Cannot overstate how nice the bar and restaurant ambience is which is fine-dining level but with a everyday casual service and menu. The aptly named "Kraken" is fantastic. 10/10, no notes. Actually a value at 200 bucks if it's your dinner. The lobster roll was 45 bucks and that is exorbitant, but given everything under Trump :)...not surprising.. Very good Marg - not too sweet and cold beers. Had the Narragansett draft which is a perfect, dry lager for seafood. They were out of the Kolsch I wanted, but no complaints. Service was economical if not not spectacular. Coming back to sit at the bar and suck on oysters and beers soon!

The new location is in a good spot on a corner - one side is all big windows so there is a lot of natural light. Dining room might be a bit smaller than before but still a good size and the window side seats with 4-tops set at an angle are great for people watching. For DC summer restaurant week they have one of the best value lunches - still at $25/pp for three courses when just about all the other restaurants have raise prices. And the menu section is excellent so is the quality of the food. This is the only place we've been to this week where all the courses were fantastic including the desserts (which is where most of the restaurants fail). We had tomato salad, oysters, salmon, mussels and for dessert chocolate mousse and waffle with lemon ricotta and blueberries (a must try). Everything is delicious and service attentive even when it got busy. so Glad to finish RW with a place we really liked.

Legit place for having good mussel and oyster options if you're a seafood lover. Their aioli and…read moresweet potato fries are also really good options. My favorite is their white wine mussels. I also appreciate the fact they have deals pretty much everyday of the week. Service is just ok though, I think they can improve on seating people more attentively. Nice casual restaurant option.

I was genuinely disappointed by our experience at Luke's Lobster in Bethesda. My boyfriend and I…read moreordered lobster rolls to take to the park, and unfortunately, there was practically no lobster in them. The small amount of lobster we received was rubbery and had absolutely no flavor. The bread also did not seem fresh. Please note: please improve the amount of lobster; please improve the cooking on the lobster and figure out your bread situation. The service was excellent and obviously trained very well in dealing with customers. I wish I could have provided this feedback more readily. Because we had ordered the food to go and were already seated in the park, there was no practical way to return and ask for the problem to be corrected. I love, love lobster rolls, so I was especially looking forward to this meal. For the price and the restaurant's reputation, I expected a generous portion of tender, fresh, flavorful lobster served on fresh bread. The lobster portion, freshness, and flavor all need to be seriously amped up. Frankly, for approximately the same price, I would much rather go to The Palm in Washington, D.C., where the quality, preparation, and overall dining experience are on an entirely different level. I hope Luke's takes this feedback seriously. Disappointed is an understatement, and based on this experience, I would not return.

There were plenty of to go orders going out the door. The server checked on us frequently and we were never waiting on our order of crabs.

JC Crab House was a huge disappointment. The crabs were…read moreoverpriced, overcooked, and undersized. I paid $120 for a dozen "XL" females that were actually more like mediums. Even considering it's off-season, the size didn't match what was advertised. On top of that, they tasted off, almost like they weren't fresh, the texture of the crab meat was dry/ mushy and the garlic butter was terrible. The drinks didn't help either--the sweet tea and half & half both tasted horrible. Service was average at best, nothing that made up for the rest of the experience. And to top it off, they automatically added an 18% gratuity for a party of 4 (20% for parties over 6), which felt excessive given the quality or lack thereof. Also, they do NOT accept Apple Pay as advertised. Overall: -4127/10. Would not recommend.

The food quality is great because it's comforting, locally and sustainably sourced. And you never feel rushed because this restaurant values their customers.

I loved eating in the open bay. But they also have a patio & are family & dog friendly. I order most of the brunch specials: -espresso martini affogato (was so so, a bit too strong but I'm usually a Bellini girl) -challah Nutella stuffed French toast (sooo good! I usually love waffles but these were cooked perfectly aka not soggy & very flavorful) I would get this again -Chesapeake Benedict (Loved it, all meat, no filler in the crabs) -Salmon omelette -Shrimp & grits
