I know that you have spent your days and nights since June 24th (the last blog post!!!) fretting over the answer to the Tony and Joe’s blog trivia question. Sleepless nights have passed and hot, sweltering days have been weather on our patio with an ice cold beer. Readers, deliverance is cometh.
The culinary quiz proposed last week:
Shrimp + Mussels + Lobster + Fish + Crab + __________ = Tony and Joe’s Bouillabaisse
What is the mysterious and integral missing Bouillabaisse variable? The missing ingredient is saffron! Some very deliberate, steady and patient hands delicately pluck the stigmas from the saffron crocus flower.
The stigmas are then dried and sold as the most expensive spice in the world!

Extravagance on the Georgetown Waterfront is dished into a bowl at Tony and Joe’s, where Washington DC’s most delicious bouillabaisse is served. Without question, Tony and Joe’s is the best place to enjoy this luxurious meal as well as a fabulous DC outdoor dining experience.
Bouillabaisse originates from the Mediterranean and there are regional variations served throughout. However, most argue that Marseilles, France is home to bouillabaisse. What distinguishes the Marseilles version is the use of Provençal herbs as well as the presence of the savory rouille, a type of aioli used to top bread croutons.
Recipe to follow:
Shrimp + Mussels + Lobster + Fish + Crab + __________ = Tony and Joe’s Bouillabaisse
What is the mysterious and integral missing Bouillabaisse variable? Identify it on Facebook!! Hint: It is an exotic and expensive spice called ____________.
Find the answer in the next post!
There is absolutely no better place to be in the country this weekend than DC. The Nation’s capital will observe Memorial Day this Monday with the PBS Memorial Day Concert, Wreath Laying ceremonies and the National Memorial Day Parade. Tourists and locals side by side in the epicenter of American culture and politics will remember and honor the men and women of the service who gave their lives serving our country.
The best place to end the day is no doubt the Washington Harbor. After a long day of site seeing you’ll be ready for some local rockfish or crab cakes made with expertise that only the Mid Atlantic region can offer. Stop by Tony and Joe’s Seafood Place where you can take in the spectacular views of the Potomac River, Kennedy Center, Washington Monument, Roosevelt Island, and the Key Bridge and enjoy fresh, fantastically prepared seafood. All that is patriotic and emblematic of DC you can enjoy right from your table.
Tony and Joe’s Seafood Place is proud to offer ½ price draft beer on Memorial Day to the men and women of the service with Military ID at our inside bar. We’re looking forward to seeing you and becoming part of your Washington DC Memorial Day tradition!
Brunch. A lovely food word that says it all. Everything that I love about breakfast mashed up and served with everything I love about lunch. Brunch is the grey zone in a black and white meals world. What’s not to love?
And eggs Benedict? That is enough in itself to motivate me to venture from my bed even after perhaps too long and too indulgent of a night. There’s just something so comforting and delicious about hollandaise, Canadian bacon and poached eggs .
Not to mention that we make one mean Mimosa – and everyone knows caffeine is overrated and passé – it’s the sweet bubbles of Champagne that invigorate a tired Sunday morning soul!
Tony and Joe’s has taken all of this wondrous brunch behavior and revved up the sweet factor with live jazz music and the gorgeous Georgetown waterfront view.
Come on out for DC’s best brunch at Tony and Joe’s – the best meal of the week!!!
Our city’s very own Washington Capitals came out this past Sunday last night to celebrate their President’s Trophy win and the end of their great season! On Saturday, the Caps set a franchise record with their 51st win, scoring three first-period goals in a 3-2 victory at Columbus.
Join us TONIGHT as we cheer on the Caps during their journey to the Stanley Cup finals.

We love being in DC- What an amazing city! There is always tons to do, lots to learn, and interesting people to meet. You can just feel the energy of the people of the area -smart, motivated, with fascinating jobs and lifestyles. Here at Tony and Joe’s we look forward to meeting new people everyday and serving them up the tastiest seafood including Maryland crabcakes, fresh lobster and shrimp scampi.
You never know who you will run into at the Georgetown Waterfront. A few Saturdays back we had two prominent guests sited dining with us-US World Cup Soccer player, Landon Donovan, and Dr. Drew Penske. Let yourself be seen at Tony and Joe’s and enjoy our outdoor bar and patio on the Georgetown waterfront with views of the Potomac River, Kennedy Center, Washington Monument, Roosevelt Island, and the Key Bridge.
The mercury is rising and (finally) the snow is melting. It’s time to enjoy the outdoors instead of battling Mother Nature! After being closed inside and succumbing to multiple bouts of cabin fever, residents of the mid Atlantic rejoice! The patio at Tony and Joe’s Seafood Place on the Georgetown waterfront has opened – the perfect way to spend an afternoon replenishing on vitamin D or plain old fresh air while enjoying the freshest seafood that DC has to offer.
Still stuck inside spring cleaning? Reward your hard work by sitting on the patio, relaxing with friends, and enjoying deliciously fresh food!
