Del Mar
Spanish
Fabio Trabocchi's fine dining room at the Wharf is all coastal blues and polished brass, with floor-to-ceiling windows over the Potomac that make the room feel like it floats. The Spanish menu runs from jamón croquetas and spreadable sobrasada to paella loaded with lobster and giant prawns, with impeccably simple fish in between. The crowd dresses up, as they should.

Paella
“The paella, a lavish gathering of lobster, giant prawns, mussels, and monkfish, is reason alone to snag a table at Fabio Trabocchi’s soaring glass dining room overlooking the Wharf.”
Washingtonian, 2026 -
Tortilla
“Even the ubiquitous potato-and-egg tortilla delivers bliss, with Mahon cheese and a pricey but worthwhile add-on: truffles.”
Washingtonian, 2026 -
Gambas al ajillo
“Andalusian gambas al ajillo, starring shrimp laced with garlic and chilies, are accompanied by tufts of bread for sopping.”
Michelin Guide -
Giant crispy branzino
“We love the sizzling andalusian shrimp to start, as well as the giant crispy branzino and sashimi crudo, both of which can feed at least two hungry people.”
