Seamore's

Amazing food, service and ambiance! This place is a gem in an area that needs more great food and service. The people are amazing and the food is delicious!

Poké is by far and away the best thing on their food menu - highly recommended!! Bartenders and wait staff are so attentive and the drinks are incredible. Love this place!!

Seamore's delivers solid value for very fresh, sustainably sourced seafood, and even better value is to be found on their happy hour menu.

It fits well in the casual restaurant category, though I hoped for more attention to detail on food, service, and atmosphere, and I would love for the chain to revisit how best to truly highlight the fresh seafood. I had a dozen oysters (half Assateague Salt Buoy and half White Stone, Virginia), followed by the hake with lemon caper sauce, accompanied by some plank potatoes and a corn - mango - jalapeno salad.

The oysters were a special $18 rate for a dozen, and super fresh, so I definitely cut the restaurant some slack. But they were served without indicating which oysters were which, without an extra plate, which was awkward to eat directly from the iced platter on an elevated tray. The mignonette and cocktail sauce were not especially flavorful, and it would have been nice to ask whether I wanted any horseradish or Tabasco.

The fish for the fish dinners are all pan-fried, which does not consistently deliver the best flavor and texture. My hake was properly cooked, but the pan-frying toughened the bottom surface of the fish, when it would have been better more gently sauteed in butter. The lemon caper sauce (one of four options) was clearly separately prepared and served on the side, when ordinarily you would incorporate this sauce into the cooking so that its flavor is better blended with the fish. The corn salad could have been a wow but the corn was a little tough, the flavors did not pop, and the main flavor was the mango (which had the right tart-sweet tone but did not achieve the overall pop you generally expect in this flavor combo). The plank fries with onions didn't accentuate the meal. They were fine but lacked flavor and crispness on the outside, being lukewarm and flaccid on the plate.

The fixed preparation styles help keep labor and equipment costs down and avoid kitchen mistakes. But I'd love to see some more traditional steamed-fried-sauteed-broiled options that are tailored to the type of seafood, and addition of some standards such as a shrimp cocktail.

The bar space was clean but the open boxes of mixers, menu boxes, and other accoutrements detracted from what would be an otherwise nice-looking space.

The staff are very nice, the recommendations and knowledge good, and my vodka martini was expertly prepared.

This restaurant gets a solid 3.9-4 stars from me, and is very much a good place to go for a menu and seafood choices that are fresh and diverse.

Visited Seamore’s over the weekend after it being on my list to try for months and it was pretty decent. Not sure if it was because we went later in the evening (around 8pm) but the service was slow. However, I do appreciate the food still coming out hot. I would love to come again maybe right when they open or peak dinner time in hopes of changing my opinion.

The oysters will be on my “must try” list for next time!

This is an excellent place in Arlington to enjoy delicious seafood in a casual setting near a popular bakery cafe. When my friend and I dined there some time ago, we enjoyed the laid-back atmosphere with lots of energy and clean, industrial-chic interior. The service was generally good, and the food was tasty with good quality. The churros ice cream sandwich, Seamore's signature dessert recommended by our server, was terrific. Although it's a bit pricey, it was worth it for the overall excellent dining experience.

Nice fish restaurant in Clarendon - has fresh caught options, all fish is pan seared, if not fried. The fish portions were a bit small for the price but were good. The staff was friendly and courteous. Definitely recommend the churro ice cream sandwich.
