Lightfoot - Table reservation

My wife and I decided to try the Lightfoot restaurant for the first time on our 16th wedding anniversary. We found it in a google search for fine dining in Northern Virginia and then one of our co-workers vouched for the restaurant. At the restaurant, we had to park at one of the free public parking areas in the rain less than half a mile away, but we didn't have a problem with that since we had an umbrella. We were greeted by a manager (we presume he was a manager since he was seen everywhere in the restaurant after he sat us down). The manager was personable with us as he sat us down and before he walked away from our table. He even came back by to check on us 2 more times before we left....

Crab bisque was really delicious, with lots of crab meat. Although I had only the spinach salad for an entree, it was delicious and loaded with all the goodies. My brother crab (or shrimp? and lobster pasta dish, and he said it was rich and delicious with lots of lobster. Service was a little awkward but nothing particularly bad about it. And the decor, the building, is just fabulous. Loved the place.

Cool vibe in historic bank and really excellent menu. Everything we ate was fantastic crab dip, scallops, meatball appetizer, grilled cheese, and pumpkin brownie dessert and I want to come back to try more. One downside is that they seemed understaffed for the space and the crowd that occupied that space.

Came here for dinner and had a wonderful time. It’s been over 10 yrs since the last time we came and it was just as good as we remembered. Ordered a few appetizers (fr onion soup , green tomatoes) and we each got fish (salmon and sea bass special). No room for desert this time.
