We were a little leary to eat here because of some of the previous reviews, but we were starving so we decided to take a chance. They have a huge buffet, with lots of variety, but you can also order from the menu. It's $25 for the buffet, and a pina colada will run about $9. We went on a... more

I was so hungry for seafood and the book at the hotel we were staying had this place listed with somewhat top billing - we were not staying at a cheap hotel either!!! One colleague said it was good, another said she would never go back again. We made the mistake of believing the first friend. I TOTALLY agree with... more

I dined there Janaury 17, 2009. It was not as busy as it used to be, especially for a Saturday night. I was surprised that there was no line. there used to be quite a wait to be seated on the weekend. the set up isn't the same as it was before. There seemed to be less seafood dishes and... more

After a day of walking around DC, we were craving some seafood and, on our way into town, had noticed this restaurant in a relatively convenient location with easy parking - and it was on the riverfront. We could have ordered from the menu or opt for the buffet - and we had to choose before we were taken to... more

A large group of friends and I decided to adventure to this place because they told us it was good place but pricie. When we got there we looked through the menu and saw nothing good so we asked for the buffet thinking it would be better...wrong. So we asked to give us a separate check before they sat us... more

Phillips seafood restaurants are located in some high end casinos so you might expect the Phillips flagship restaurant to serve decent fare. Unfortunately, you would be wrong. In spite of the immense crowds from the tour buses that visited this Phillips on the day of my own patronage, it was obvious that some dishes had been on the chafing dish... more

Whenever people come visit us in the area they are always looking for good seafood. The first place they ask about is Phillips because there is a lot of advertisement for the restaurant. I have taken visitors there three time and have never enjoyed it. I vowed to never take anyone there again after this last visit. The food is... more
