Third Place: Bonefish Grill
It's difficult to argue with a local seafood restaurant that farms its own seafood. If you've never savored a buttery Rappahannock oyster, a mildly salty York or a kick-ass, tastes-like-the-bay Olde Salt, you're doing yourself a disservice. This see-and-be-seen seafood restaurant has convinced even the naysayers that Grace Street is back with a vengeance. Hard Shell has for years been a go-to seafood restaurant for lobster, snow crab and king crab. Its Monday night lobster deal is one of the best ways to start the work week. Florida chain Bonefish Grill seems to get diners revved up for that bang bang shrimp, and then there's that wood-burning grill.
