If the name isn't a clear sign and the location facing the waterfront doesn't give it away, one look at the sophisticated nautical decor will set you straight. The large space includes a semi-open kitchen but the patio with marina views is the place to be on warm days.
The menu echoes their sister spot in Scotland with a clear focus on fish, though here it's given a Mid-Atlantic update. The Maryland crab crumpet perfectly illustrates that across-the-pond connection and is a perfect opener. The fish is sourced from the Chesapeake region and from a D.C. farming operation, and the menu presents plenty of interesting items, like sugar toads, or northern puffer fish, served whole and crispy fried. Order the Virginia peanut tiramisu for a twist on a classic.
