Best Seafood Restaurants in Sterling

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!

Our family has a tradition of dinner out – usually a premiere steakhouse - on Christmas. Last year was our first time at Eddie Merlot‘s and it was outstanding, so we chose to dine here again this year - the experience was just as excellent. We had an amazing waiter, Nick, and he took care of everything we needed. We ordered Potstickers as an appetizer - best I’ve had; then for dinner we had Surf and Turf (Filet Mignon & Lobster) and Bourbon Ribeye - all excellent!

Our first waitress was very friendly and very knowledgeable but the second one we had didn’t make us feel very welcome, she seemed like she didn’t want to be there. Over all we were happy the raspberry martini was excellent and it was our first time here

Always lovely, food is exquisitely prepared, high quality always and delicious! Service is attentive but not obtrusive, cocktails are good, it feels like being in Greece!

We had great service! Ended up at the bar even though all the tables were not occupied. Overall, a very satisfying experience.
