4.5 / 5.0(2,324 reviews)

Try the Sunday night prix fixe menu: four courses for $85. With the exception of the dessert, one of the very best meals I’ve had in DC and a bargain for the price, with excellent service and surprisingly robust portion sizes. We supplemented with a half dozen oysters (exceptional, $27) and a spinach side dish ($16, rounded out the entree). The four prix fixe courses for our dinner: Snapper crudo (exceptional) Pasta with mussels, lobster and shrimp (exceptional) Salmon with fennel puree and blood orange (excellent) Banana and chocolate pound cake (essentially a muffin, exterior was dry; partially redeemed by marscapone cream served on the side, but not on the same level as the rest of the meal) Cocktails are exceptional, wines by the glass very good, service and setting exceptional. Window tables or outside seating flanking the Potomac are superb. I look forward to another occasion here. My boyfriend and I went to Fiola Mare to celebrate our two-year anniversary, and it was honestly perfect. The service was on another level, everyone was super attentive, friendly, and made us feel really special the whole night. You can tell the chef cares about every little detail, because the food was full of flavor and beautifully prepared. Everything was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and we felt truly taken care of from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. It was the perfect place for our celebration. Highly recommend! Despite someone booking my birthday reservation for 12 well in advance, our private room was given to another party. We were split into two tables — not too far apart, but definitely a bit of a walk to mingle with everyone. That said, the food was amazing! Towards the end of the night, once most tables had cleared, the staff moved us to one large table offering the entire table one of each dessert — which we truly appreciated. Still, given that my reservation (a surprise, booked four weeks in advance) was mishandled, the initial separation was disappointing. I would possibly revisit again as the food was amazing!

This is the best seafood place in DC. I eat seafood every day and fly to Spain/portugal at least twice a year just to eat. (I consider 99% of seafood dishes trash in the U.S.) And the service is always excellent. I will go back often. At the end, they give free ice cream to kids — and we certainly appreciate your kind gesture! Will be a regular.

Fiola Mare is always a standout. The atmosphere is lively yet elegant, perfect for a night out. Their cocktails are crafted beautifully, and the lobster ravioli is an absolute must—rich, delicate, and memorable. The fish here is consistently super fresh, making every dish feel like it’s just come from the sea. A top-tier dining experience every time.
