Nurturing my inner... catch of the day

Love a high caliber restaurant.  There is one fav in Reston Town Center that when you're inside, you'd swear you were actually in downtown Manhattan.  The decor is upscale and modern.  Utmost class.  Doesn't hurt that they fly their fish in twice a day fresh and get rid of any leftovers after each shift.  They have small refrigerators they use only for condiments and desserts.  That's all.  You can't get fresher than that unless you had a fishing pole on site and caught dinner yourself.

Passion Fish, Reston Town Center.  Lots of items are great here.  They give you complementary whitefish spread and toasted baguette rounds to start you off.  I like the crab cakes for sure.  But what do I go there especially for?  The blue crab and corn chowder.  It. Is. Incredible.  The presentation is nice because they bring it over in a little silver pitcher and pour it out piping hot into your bowl.  I scoop up each and every drop.  (And then mourn the super clean bowl I have left behind.)

This stuff is so amazing, I have not the right
words to describe. (Some fruity drink in
background.)

Can't get out of there without some sushi too.  Captain Crunch Roll:  Tempura Shrimp + Tiger Shrimp, Cucumber, Avocado, Kabiyaki.  The crunchy tempura bits on top really make it just that much more interesting.

It's sushi, it's tempura, it's amazing.

If you really go all out, it can be a pricey evening.  But it's a wonderful place to make a special trip with some good friends and laugh about the craziness of life over a bowl of the most amazing crab chowder you may ever find.  And for dessert, the crème caramel brulee was divine.  They also have homemade warm donut holes that are so light and terrific with their coffee Bavarian creme dipping sauce.  And this fantastic chocolate mousse praline crunch dome.  (It's all really so insane.)  You can't go wrong with any of it.  I know from each and every decadent bite I've taken.  (When I haven't been stuffed to the gills enough to fit in dessert.)

The meal ends off with a tiny piece of their homemade rocky road fudge for each patron.  (Sweetens the blow of the bill.)  Just first class from start to finish.  I guess that's why it's best to make reservations.  Everybody wants in.  And now, you do too!
