My husband and I were traveling up north from Fairfax, VA and we booked a reservation at Tuscan Sea Grill and Bar. What a great find! This was the best restaurant so far during our trip. The view was beautiful on the water. There was a band inside, so we got to hear some music. The wait staff were so friendly. And, the food was delicious.

Location is absolutely fantastic. Food came out quickly and was very good. It was a bit pricey and would have thought for a birthday they would have comped a dessert but didn’t. Again, excellent location and very good food.

Great service - we ate outside and had a beautiful sunny September day to enjoy the water view. Its a legit view, and the food, was exactly as stated, good to eat. Bar looks like a lot of fun and makes we want to come back. They were also very accommodating with my seating request (made through open table).

Eric, Thank you for the lovely review. We're thrilled you enjoyed the sunny patio and that the view lived up to expectations. We're glad the food was enjoyable and that we could accommodate your OpenTable seating request. We hope the lively bar brings you back soon for another visit. Best, Lori Parolisi General Manager Tuscan Sea Grill

Disappointed in our entrees. Starters were wonderful. We both ordered the sea bass for our entrees; very bland, topped off with crinkled lettuce (either old or left too long under a heating lamp). Not worth the $40-plus price tag!
