With only ten locations across the nation, after having their service and their food, I can understand why they pride themselves on their food. Although, I have not personally had the food and service at their location in Dallas, TX (in the Galleria Mall) my uncle has and that same uncle was in attendance with me and my immediate family at the Washington, DC location.

I do know that the Galleria location in Dallas did get a facelift and my uncle states that their food was delicious however, hearing the praise my uncle gave to the seafood plates and the restaurant overall in Washington - well I had to write about it. It's not that the Dallas location doesn't have good service and food, my uncles claims that the better flavors in food have probably something to do with the fact that the Washington location is closest to the west coast - where some delicious seafood spots in the nation are located to begin with.

The DC location inside had both a cozy and yet a contemporary feel-it wasn't cold like some other contemporary interiors settings are. The establishment itself was very clean and the restrooms were well maintained. A few creaks to the flooring but I honestly don't know how long this location has been there, so I would say either poor install or perhaps the ground the establishment is at has moved. Their staff were all well reversed in the menu items, the hostesses were sweet and caring especially with my kids in tow. I know it may not seem like it or perhaps this restaurant doesn't advertise it (then again my kids are always well educated/behaved in restaurants compared to almost ALL other kids) but they were extremely family friendly to our needs that evening for dinner...I wasn't able to take pictures of everything that was ordered - I know probably not the best thing to say while I'm writing a recommendation but I'm sorry I was more focused on enjoying the experience and the food than worrying about pictures at that moment ;-) But what I did take pictures of are labeled below (image directly below this text is from google search, from a Facebook link)
We started with their fully loaded and large Seafood Tower (image above) which was both deliciously fresh and the seafood was very fresh and satisfying. I also had one of their Ceasar Salads as a side and then ordered their special they had for the evening. Finishing my meal with a deliciously crafted gluten free chocolate dessert.
So, if you happen to make a stop at one of their locations let me know or perhaps comment so others can get the feedback.
Sincerely,
A Distinct Woman
