- DDenisevipWashington, D.C. Area •21 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoOur time was great as we pick a special place to dine each year to celebrate our sisterhood during the holidays. The catfish bites and the fried pickles were tasty. Our entrees were even better. I preferred the oxtails with rice instead of grits, though both were good. The shrimp and grits were flavorful and the chicken and waffles were excellent. Thanks to our amazing waiter Raphael and special thanks to the manager Moo, who made it worth it!More infoKitchen + Kocktails by Kevin Kelley - DCPrice: Expensive• Regional American (Southern)• Downtown•4.2

- CCatherinevipSan Francisco Bay Area •48 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoOutstanding service, food and ambience! All our appetizers and entrees were perfection with every bite. We were seated promptly, even though we were early and waited on immediately. Always the sign of a top notch restaurant. My beet salad was so fresh and citrusy with just the right amount of dressing. The crab cakes were moist, tender and flaky, cooked to perfection. And every bite of the petite filet was an explosion of flavor. Thank you!More infoJoe's Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab - Washington DCPrice: Very Expensive• Seafood• Downtown•4.8
