Blackfinn Ameripub

This is a great casual restaurant right in the heart of Washington DC. We were looking for a relaxed atmosphere with some variety to the menu. Blackfinn DC did not disappoint. It is a typical restaurant and bar atmosphere and the noise level will increase with an increase in patrons. The entire staff was friendly and the service was relatively quick. The prices seemed very reasonable for this style of restaurant in the DC metro area. The Garlic Parmesan Pretzels as an appetizer were quite good. I am not normally a fan of mustard, however, their mustard cheese sauce paired extremely well with the pretzels. I appreciated that the sauce was served on the side. I can’t say enough about the Shrimp and Garlic Linguine as a main course. Not too overpowering for a pasta dish. Very flavorful and well proportioned. They did not skimp on the shrimp. There was plenty of shrimp to last until the final bite. Blackfinn DC made such an impact on us, we came back for a second night.

All American pub style bar and grill. Two of us were welcomed and seated right away. Our waiter just happened to be one of the managers and who made our cocktails. He was friendly, helpful, and attentive. I was impressed with his professionalism. I was also happy with our food selections. The Cali burgers were delicious. They were fresh and made to order. The fries were scrumptious. The Blossom Tini was refreshingly wonderful. We saved room for dessert. The hot chocolate cake was heavenly. You get good value for quality here. There's plenty of seating inside and outside, and bar seating. There's plenty of TVs to watch games. This place was quite lively and had a locals vibe. It's quite loud, but we were able to have conversations at our both. This is a great place to hang out with friends and family.

Swung by on suggestion from concierge, not a bad spot if you're looking for a bite you'll enjoy. Especially if you're looking for outdoor patio. I doubt you'd be back next time you visit DC but you won't be mad you went. Fry on the chicken was excellent, taste a bit on the salty side. Too much gravy.
