JOE'S SEAFOOD, PRIME STEAK & STONE CRAB WASHINGTON REVIEWS

Joe’s Prime Steak and Stone Crab in Washington, D.C. offers an exceptional dining experience in a setting that reflects the city’s classic high-end atmosphere. The meal was outstanding from start to finish. The porterhouse steak was grilled to perfection—expertly cooked, flavorful, and tender—while the lobster tail stood out as one of the finest I’ve had anywhere: succulent, rich, and perfectly complemented by butter. The crab cake appetizer was equally impressive, packed with fresh crab meat and delivering great depth of flavor. Service at Joe’s is impeccable, with staff who are both highly attentive and professional, enhancing the overall experience. For anyone visiting D.C., Joe’s is a must-visit destination that consistently delivers on both food and service.

Outstanding dining experience here. We had a wait & were able to get seats at the bar. The bartenders did a great job taking care of us. The old fashioned cocktails were great. The calamari & stuffed mushrooms were a wonderful start to our meal. The bisque and wedge salad were delicious. The lobster mac was delicious, as was the halibut special. We ended it with key lime & chocolate pies, amazing. Great experience & meal here.

Special was excellent Crab cake and shrimp. Prepared perfectly with sides. The Chief did an outstanding job on the seasoning. Service was outstanding also.

THE OCEANAIRE SEAFOOD ROOM WASHINGTON REVIEWS

Everything about this experience was top notch! I am a foodie and very particular. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly. My appetizer and dinner was fresh and delicious. I had oysters, shrimp cocktail and king crab for dinner. They even picked all the crab meat out of the shell. Beautiful decor as well. I would recommend as a must while you are in DC!.

First time meal was excellent. Our server Elmer was super attentive, made recommendations, and was super friendly. The tempura shrimp appetizer was delicious. We only had appetizers and drinks but based on our experience, I’d definitely return.

Excellent place for high quality seafood. Their sourdough bread was amazing. For my birthday, they brought us a Baked Alaskan Dessert.

HOT N JUICY CRAWFISH WASHINGTON REVIEWS

I had a good experience at Hot N Juicy Crawfish! The moment I walked in, I was greeted with a friendly smile and seated. The atmosphere was vibrant and fun, making it a perfect place to enjoy a meal with friends or family. The food was tasty! I ordered the crawfish boil with their signature seasoning, and it was packed with flavor. The crawfish were fresh, juicy, and cooked to perfection. I also tried the shrimp and crab legs, which were equally impressive. The spice level was just right, providing a nice kick without overpowering the natural taste of the seafood. The service was top-notch. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and made great recommendations. The food came out quickly, and everything was hot and fresh. Overall, Hot N Juicy Crawfish met my expectations. Great food, good service, and a lively atmosphere. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves seafood. I will definitely be back!.

Yummy! I wanted a seafood boil & soft shell crab, & this place delivered beyond my expectations. My friends treated me out to dinner for my birthday. We got a basket of fried brownies to start. Delicious! Dessert first . For our main course, I ordered a soft shell crab basket, & I split the seafood boil with my other friend. As our seasoning we got the house sauce & baby level spice. Our third companion got the crawfish po'boy. This was an experience. Bibs, gloves, & seafood spread all over the covered table. Definitely don't wear anything you don't mind possibly getting seafood & sauce on. The boil bag was sooooo tasty. And there was plenty of shrimp & crawfish to go around for 2 people. We were so full afterwards. Food coma full. Haha.

Great crabs, drinks and amazing customer service! Nice and clean!.
