Been trying to come here for a while and finally got a chance over labor day weekend, still busy but a nice lag in the wait from what I hear. I was hear with my wife's family who are all used to the original place in Hoboken. We ordered a bunch of items and cant remember who got what. So hear is the run down of what hit the table.
Caesar salad ,Fried calamari, Oysters, Clams, Broccoli robe with mozzarella rib eye steak sandwich, Cheese burger, Italian hot dog and I had the Clam PO boy.
Everyone seemed to really enjoy everything we ordered. I cant really comment on all, but I had some of the light and crispy calamari, the oysters and clams were fresh. Although I wish they had more the blue points. My Po Boy was done with a nice hero, red cabbage slaw. tomato and tasty fried clams. The experience was good, considering how busy this joint is....all the time I might add. I would go back more often if it was closer and bonus! ones opening in Ramsey!

Bittersweet Catering Cafe Bakery - Review - Alexandria, V.A
This place is a café/buffet/quick food restaurant, if that helps. We stopped in and grabbed a quick bite for breakfast. I had an egg and cheese on a bagel and my buddy had a breakfast burrito. There isn't much to say. The bagel was not fresh baked, but the sandwich accomplished its goal. The burrito was on the small side and had some flavor but just didn't hit the spot. A nice place for a quick breakfast or maybe there scones and coffee are good. It was busy for a sat morn, so they must be doing something right.
Kinheads - Review Washington, DC
We were looking for a place with some decent seafood and oysters. This place fit the bill and satisfied our craving. We started with a heart of romaine salad with cilantro lime which was very, very good and we were off and running. The oyster and shellfish platter for two came next. Everything was very fresh and the accompanying condiments of horseradish and a tangy vinegar dipping sauce complimented well. The assortment of oysters was as expected by the menu description. Nice, large and surprisingly sweet shrimp we paired with crab claws.
My buddy ordered the seared scallops over pasta with a tasty lemon cream sauce and I had the soft shell crab with artichokes and smoked bacon I am normally not a fan of smoked bacon, but this really did the dish justice and the plate balanced very well.
For desert we had a chocolate gnash cake and apple tart. These were both prepared well and again, obviously fresh.
Great service, slightly pricey, a nice décor, although is was quite warm that weekend and it seemed as the air was not working properly. None the less, a recommendation in my book if your in D.C and looking for some good seafood.

Harrys Review - Washington, DC
This place was the only one open on a Sunday morning in DC. We figured how bad could it be...right...wrong! This place was dirty....I don't even want to discuss the the amount of bum under the window sill.....but maybe it was "the thing to do?" Either way, just gross. The buffet was small and either had over cooked bacon and home fries or extremely runny scrambled eggs, neither to my liking. My buddy had a ham and cheese omelet, it was small and he didn't finish it. I am sure you all can figure out what I am getting at.
Unfortunately, in our great capital, there seem to be a very limited amount of people looking for breakfast on the weekends, hence the scarce amount of places to find such a meal. If you find one let me know.
