Very knowledgeable waitstaff as well as a clearly marked menu. We went for Restaurant Week and I was so thrilled to be able to participate in the RW specials. Two thumbs up for a stress free experience as a celiac!

We were referred here because of gluten free options. After getting here we were disappointed that our server said none of the sides were gluten free. 5 mins after being seated our server came back and said he was moved downstairs and we were left without a server at all. Literally NO ONE checked on us and had to flag someone down for a check. Worst service I have ever had. The music was so loud I couldn't hear my family speak. Hands down an awful experience! Food was just ok... two things were wrong but no one even came to check or make it right. Go somewhere else!

Great option if you are gluten free! The food is fantastic and the employees are knowledgeable. It’s not really a sit down restaurant, you order at the counter and bus your own place, but it’s real food, sourced from local fishermen.

We enjoyed a great dinner at Joe's. We were able to get a last-minute reservation while in town for one night. The food was excellent, but the service was top-notch, and I would give our server, Jeffery, 10 stars if I could. First, they were extremely accommodating with my extensive food allergies. My son and husband have no food allergies, so they got to enjoy a lot more than me. I opted for the grilled seafood platter that came with scallops, lobster, and shrimp and for a side sautted mushrooms. Everything was made gluten-free, also dairy, soy, peanut, and treenut free. It was hearty and delicious and I don't often enjoy a meal so much, especiallyseafood. It's hard to find places that can accommodating me. My son got filet with crab Oscar and my husband a ribeye with bearnaise. They shared a mashed potatoe and a lobster mac. Jeffery was attentive and funny, and we enjoyed his stories. It made the experience even better. We are looking forward to eating there again next time we are in town.

A beautiful restaurant with amazing views and delicious food. The staff were very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. Two members of the party are gluten intolerant so this was very helpful. The drinks were also tasty!

Loved this dining experience! Nigiri was perfect and room temp, which made it melt in your mouth. We got the panna cotta dessert at the end, too, which was the perfect amount. All gluten-free! Chefs were lovely ☺️

Literally the best ever. I'm a gluten-free pescatarian who loves soul food and this place is spot on! Collard greens good, corn pudding sweet and savory and the fish, fried to perfection! The cheesecake really made my day!!! Soo good!

We were a party of three with one party member having vegan/gluten free dietary restrictions (I called ahead to advise). Everyone has an exceptional experience...food, service, and ambiance. My companion with dietary had an eggplant dish and my other companion had the smoked salmon and scrambled egg dish (both parties want to return for more). We will be back... thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Cheers!

Outstanding fish restaurant - traditional place in a nice residential neighborhood with a really elegant but friendly feel. Love the fresh fish market ambiance as you walk in but the tables in the back behind the wine cellar are just so cool - a quiet, intimate feel beyond the hustle and bustle of DC. Then the service started which was first rate - very knowledgeable and attentive server, described what’s on the menu and what’s special and the goes on to say they can make almost anything they have anyway we want - we tested her on that and she did exactly what she said. And then the food started to come out - first the bread which was hot baked and stunningly good. She had remembered one of our guests was gluten free so before we could ask she brought an amazing gluten free bread substitute for our guest. Then the seafood tower came out - oysters, shrimp, scallops, crab, lobster salad, poke - all delicious. All to be outdone by the main courses - highlights were the sea bass and the halibut. The deserts were a nice way to finish - not quite as great as the fish but still very good. Great cocktails, an even better wine selection not outrageously priced - all in all a fantastic meal and experience.

Hank’s is a perfect spot for a celebration, but if you have a large group, you will have to sit in their covered outdoor area because they have very limited indoor seating. Everything our group had was great. We shared a selection of oysters, which were all very fresh, hush puppies, and crab dip for appetizers and everything was so good. I had the rockfish for my dinner and it was cooked perfectly. They are gluten free-friendly and accommodated our group and they even brought out a little bowl of chocolate with a candle for my birthday even though they don’t offer dessert. They had a great selection of cocktails, but they were out of a few of the listed options. Our waitress was great and super kind! 10/10 would go back

Really sorry for the 2 star rating, but I came for lunch recently, thinking that this place would be no issue for myself with dietary restrictions (gluten intolerant, pescatarian) but ended up getting served food with gluten in it and got sick. Our waitress was nice and explained that for the scallop carpaccio (which I inquired about and asked for them to double check) she didn’t “notice anything from the label” that had gluten (it was clearly normal soy sauce instead of gluten free ponzu). And explained that the kitchen hadn’t been paying attention, and that “so could read the label for the soy sauce if I wanted to”. They comped the potion of the food that they served that I ended up not being able to eat, but I still now have to deal with digestive issues for a month due to my intolerance. The food is good, but I would say that if you have any dietary restrictions probably steer clear of this place as the staff is not knowledgeable.
