I have been to many up-scale restaurants and paid my fair share of $100 plates, this one left me wanting. The food flavors are wonderful and the view of the Potomac is beautiful. My recommendation is don't come with an appetite or expect to pay fair value for what you purchase. It almost seems criminal to pay $50 for barely 3oz's of fish and no side. The service is also nothing special either--maybe they were understaffed, but orders took much longer than expected.
I would also expect a restaurant with this reputation to have a greater selection of seafood. Swordfish, Monkfish, or Halibut...I know there are other fresh fish out there.
In the end the view and the company we kept made this a worth while dinner, however our money could have been spent a block down the boardwalk with the same view and good food.
