Tony and Joe's

GEORGETOWN. Family-owned, this charming restaurant hugs the riverside, affording great views of the Potomac. An expansive patio brings the water even closer. A range of specialties and fresh entrees proves tempting, as hot crab dip and deep-fried alligator indicate. Other options include grilled tuna steaks or the day's fresh catches (the menu suggests how they're best prepared). If you want crab, lobster, or oysters, they're available too, along with chicken, steaks, and pastas. Wine and beer add fitting complements. Business casual to casual dress. Good for groups.
