Top Best Seafood Restaurants in Bethesda

"5 out of 5 stars Restaurants Seafood Georgetown. This pearl of the Georgetown waterfront comes from Fabio Trabocchi, the same deft chef behind Fiola and Casa Luca. It’s hard to focus on your meal with welcome distractions like docking boats and glistening chandeliers in the opulent dining room (maritime kitsch need not apply)."

"The name means “star of the sea,” and swanky seafood restaurant Fiola Mare lives up to the hype with spectacular views of the Georgetown waterfront. The clientele is indeed star-powered; Michelle and Barack Obama have been spotted here. Of course, reviewers appreciate the outdoor seating and waterfront views, with “nice outdoor seating perfect for social distancing” according to one Google user."

"has had a serious love affair with Chef Fabio Trabocchi’s authentic Italian cuisine for many years. Following his success with Fiola and Casa Luca, Chef Trabocchi recently opened a Mediterranean seafood restaurant, Fiola Mare.

"The Michelin-starred sushi bar in Dupont Circle that’s renowned for chef Nobu Yamazaki’s omakase menus took more than two months off this summer to reconfigure its business to a pickup-only model.

For a $1,600 minimum, Sushi Taro will bring chefs into customers’ homes to show off their knife skills for small groups."

"When in Old Town, you pretty much have to dine on the waterfront, and the best new spot to do it is Vola’s. Their patio is the prime position for people watching and boat ogling over seafood and beers. You’ll find a great ocean bounty -- crab dip and conch fritters, raw oysters and seafood cocktail, lobster rolls and fish tacos, blackened mahi, and fish and chips."

"Located on the Waterfront in Old Town (just steps away from the Torpedo Factory Art Center), Vola’s offers seating next to the marina slips. Little ones will enjoy watching the boats come and go and seeing the airplanes make their decent into Reagan National. The menu features seafood, but you’ll also find simple, kid-friendly fare like chicken and burgers."

"Offering one of the best waterfront dining views in Old Town, Vola’s is a fabulous spot for a seafood lunch. Try the Chesapeake Bay Chowder, made with blue crab, to start. For your main dish, try a lobster roll, blackened grouper sandwich, or firecracker shrimp tacos — with a side of Old Bay Fries, of course."

"Choosing its name to honor a historic year in Washington, D.C.'s history, the Georgetown venue harks back to days gone by.
