Best Seafood Restaurants in Merrifield

I don't normally post reviews, but my wife and I had a wonderful experience at EVs this weekend - so much so that I thought it appropriate to share. We came on Friday night having heard some rough news, and both our server and others seemed to sense this and gave us some space: very much appreciated. Saturday night we returned resolved to make up for the previous night, and Eddie Vs did not disappoint. Service (Mauricio, Tech, and Kyle) were fabulous - very attentive to my wife and her ever-present eagerness to connect with people. FABULOUS drinks - it's very easy to screw up a sidecar, but EV's hits it every time (in a full martini glass, more substantial than this drink is normally served elsewhere). We love EVs for the seafood, and here too it didn't disappoint - salmon and scallops were perfect, and the bread as always was a hit. But we particularly enjoy EVs for the atmosphere - it's a place where people of all types from everywhere all converge, and somehow it just works. It's one of few places where my wife and I can get way dressed up (and her style is very different from mine) - and we never feel out of place. Some people criticize EVs and other upscale chain restaurants as "fake fancy," but I think this criticism totally misses the point. EVs doesn't serve arugula grown next door by a farmer whose land has been in his family for hundreds of years, but it's an upenergy, upbeat and upscale spot that serves terrific food without trying to be something that it isn't - in that way, it's the opposite of "fake." Fake is the vibe I get when I go to a lot of upscale places in DC that try so hard to create a formal atmosphere that they become stuffy and pretentious. Hats off to Kyle, Tech, Mauricio, and the wonderful women at the host stand who greeted us. Eddie Vs helped turn around what could have been a rough weekend. They always make my wife feel like she's the star of the show - and as her husband I can't put a price tag on that. Thank you.

The traditional thanksgiving dinner was great! Very tender turkey, flavorful sides, and awesome cheese cake. The La Crema Chardonnay was a perfect match with the meal. $59 per person special not including wine. Highly recommend!!

Our server Robert was excellent; very helpful and friendly. The Thanksgiving dinner was delicious. Loved the dessert cups! I recommend Seasons 52!

We went for the new weekend brunch and loved the Greek dishes that are available on the brunch menu. The food and service were excellent! We'll be back.

This was the first time visit for most of us in the group, at the recommendation of one of the family members to try Chasin’ Tails. We certainly were not disappointed at all. The food was very good, including the appetizers and the shared group meals. Although not a cheap eats restaurant by any means, the dishes and shared seafood boils were plentiful. Our drinks from the menu were very good too. It was not too busy of an evening so our service met our expectations. To end the meal, the limited season pumpkin spice beignets were excellent, well made and perfect with the sauce and icecream. We highly recommend this restaurant and the location which has easy access and parking.
