First time in D.C., need help on picking a romantic seafood restaurant that wont break my wallet!

After discussing everything with him (after i made the original post... duh).. He said def wants seafood (a good spot, doesnt matter cost, but a dress up date) and georgetown. I had to sacrifice the georgetown location for Kinkeads. So he got the good seafood part. Now we still need a place in georgetown. Since we are doing seafood friday, we want pasta or something italian for saturday. And its too bad there are no good places in Georgetown. This is all so confusing! haha. Its like ok i can go to sea catch in georgetown but giving up the experience of Kinkeads, ahh...!! lol

I thought Sea Catch's menu looked good but i read reviews online and they were not that great so I was a bit turned off. Has anyone else dined there and could give me better feedback on the atmosphere and food?

I agree Hook seems the best choice but i was not too excited bout the menu online. I spoke with my bf, and he said money is no option lets just enjoy ourselves... SO that opens us up a little bit. Kinkeads? Blacksalt has no reservations for our time slot. boo.

So ive been checking out all the menus, and maybe my bf and i are not foodies lol cause everything looks so exotic. We want simple food, decent portions, good tuna, good crab, a nice evening out. And if we need to spend $$ we will to enjoy it.

Well the price isnt set in stone. We are def flexible. I just thought some places seemed way over priced but if it is worth it, than we most def will try it. On Hook's website the menu seems pretty limited, is that just because it is online? How is sea catch? My bf loves raw bars, hes into oysters and clams etc.. i perfer cooked.
As for atmosphere, we want something like i said that we can have a nice night to dress up and somewhere that is a bit lively (we are 25, so we dont care so much about noise level etc )

Hmm i could not see the menu online for Pesce.. bummer! Is it nice enough to wear a dress etc?

Not a big fan of Hook. Maybe its because their menu online is a sample menu but i was not feeling any of the dishes.

Hi Guys- I did review all the posts regarding seafood and romance but i was not feeling any of them. Maybe I can be more specific than you all great foodies can help!

My bf and i are visiting DC for the first time and we are looking for a great seafood restaurant in DC for friday night. We like simple food (no fancy schmancy stuff), and we want to look nice (Dress for me, nice button down shirt for him). Something romantic or has a good view. I want to spend around $25 per entree. I love crab and he loves tuna. I checked out Sea Catch (but some reviews were not too great). I looked at blacksalt but was not impressed even though it is supposed to be best seafood in dc.

Does anyone have good suggestions for us? Simple,romantic, seafood, good vibe.

Thank you!

[SD] Where to take my out-of-town boyfriend.

Im from San Diego, and still cannot decide a place to take my out of town boyfriend!

My boyfriend is coming into town to visit me. I want to take him to a restaurant in the gaslamp area. I'm thinking something where we can dress up, people watch, a little bit exciting, and have great food.

So far I found Dakota Grill?

I need some more suggestions.. Even though I'm from San Diego, I never eat down there!!

Thanks again!

Need a restaurant for my Boyfriend's 21st!

Good to hear because i was reading reviews on Zagat and ppl weren't too crazy about it. Mostly complained of the wait staff, and the noise.

I checked out Babbo and their menu was a bit too exotic for our taste. I will check out Apizz and Peasant!

This place looks really cool! My boyfriend is crazy about nautical. He sails..etc. So this place reminds me of inside their sailboat. Any more info about this place??

Hi guys-
I'm new to the site, but it looks really great and helpful!

I need advice.
I'm fairly new to NYC, I moved from California about 18 months ago, so i am still unfamiliar with a majority of NYC restaurants.

Anyway my boyfriend is turning 21 at the end of May, and i really want to take him somewhere that is memorable! He loves sushi, italian and seafood. He will eat steak occasionally but it's not his first choice. I was checking out NOBU strictly because he loves De Niro. But i did not read great reviews.

As for price- I'd say expensive (avg dinner entree being $25-30). We want to be able to dress up and afterwards head to a bar/club. So feel free to add a bar in there also!

Anyway, i look forward to reading the reviews!
Thanks again!
