Fiola Mare

I would highly recommend this place for events. It is perfectly situated in front of the water and right next to a green park over looking the water. DO NOT MISS THE DESERTS. Genuinely some of the best I have had. They had a good price range as well with dishes ranging from 28 to 120$. Definitely able to get high quality food worth the price tag. You can spend from 50$ a person to upward of 200$+ if you buy the caviar a mound other things. Enjoy the ambiance and food the servers were so kind. Its definitely a must try!

From the moment I began planning my birthday dinner at Fiola Mare, the staff exceeded all expectations. Their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. The planning phase was effortless, with the team being incredibly accommodating and responsive to every question and request. On the day of the event, their dedication continued to shine during setup, throughout the dinner, and even during the breakdown. Their commitment to providing exceptional service truly stood out. The food was outstanding, as expected, but what sets Fiola Mare apart is the remarkable service. Every interaction—from the attentive staff inside to the valet team outside—was handled with the utmost care. I was initially concerned about parking, but the $20 valet service was quick, convenient, and completely stress-free. The venue itself is stunning, adding to the overall ambiance of the celebration. I couldn’t have asked for a better location or experience to celebrate my birthday. Thank you, Fiola Mare, for making my special day unforgettable. I would return again and again for the impeccable service alone!

Absolutely not worth the price any more. This used to be one of my favorite restaurants in DC. Sadly, it’s been turned into a factory where they rush the tables. I thought the last time was a fluke and maybe we had a bad waiter. But my last sip of wine was whisked away when I had my head turned in coversation. And on NYE for a price of $275/ pp not including drinks etc, we had 4 courses, including dessert and were rushed out of there in 90 minutes. We barely had put our forks down from our last bite and our plates were cleared. When we sat down we were constantly barraged “are you ready to order”. And again, I hadn’t even finished my second course and my plate was taken. If you delicious seafood served with fast food mindset this is the place to go. If you prefer a leisurely dining experience where you can savor the hard work of the chefs, this is absolutely not worth the money.

We met some friends here on a recent visit to D.C. Took a cab from our hotel and the restaurant not exactly on K Street and it did take us a bit of walking around to find it. It is a lovely room but is noisy. The menu is extensive and mostly seafood. My oyster appitizer was not great as they were very small. My tuna entree was very good. Everyone else also loved their dinners. The service was excellent. The wine list is quite extensive. This will be an expensive dinner. One should expect to spend $100 per person and possibly even more depending on choices plus wine. The restaurant is a splurge but is very good
