by wendyyork1

I just found out the other day that this addison seafood restaurant, remingtons has been in Addison for 30 years! Wow, they shoud get an award for that alone in these trying times. I have had their seafood before and have to tell you the fish is the freshest around. I come from a costal town so I am pretty picky about my seafood. You can smell a frozen variety at the lower rated establishments on this guide. Addisons Remington Seafood has arned it's rating not only for longevity, and fresh seafood, but also fantastic casual fine dining. Give them a try and tell the happy anniversary! 30 years! Wow!

• Pros: The freshest seafood in town!
• Cons: none

Great Service! Staff was eager to Please!!

This was a great experience. My boyfriend and I were visiting Dallas for Valentine's Day and made reservations here. We arrived a little late, and the host was eager to find us a table within seconds. My boyfriend is not very adventurous when it comes to eating out, and was not familiar with the sauces provided with his tilapia. He hates to complain at restaurants, and tried to hide the fact that he didn't like the sauce. Our waiter noticed, and brought him a different sauce every 5 minutes until they found something he would like. Even the owner helped, without making him feel like they were making a big deal about sauce.

I personally, loved every bit of my meal (sauces and all) from the crab cake appetizer to the stuffed flounder. I wish I had room for dessert!!

It felt very inviting and upscale at the same time. We were able to have a romantic Valentine's dinner and watch the NBA Allstar Slam Dunk contest without feeling like we were in a sports bar.

I would definitely recommend for locals and those visiting from out of town.

• Pros: Great Service, Great food, Caring Owner/Staff
• Cons: none

The best meal we had in Dallas

by markpatredis

My wife and I were in Dallas for a week of rest and relaxation and stumbled upon Remington's. We were trying to find something besides a chain restaurant and pulled into the parking lot at Remington's because the restaurant parking lot was still pretty full at 8:30pm on a Wed. night. I was looking at the menu posted outside the restaurant when some patrons were exiting. Every person we asked said the food was outstanding and moderately priced. We still weren't sure we would go in when Adam, the manager,came out and answered some of our questions about the menu and invited us in. We were not disappointed. My wife had a specially prepared tilapia that she said was prepared unlike any she that she had ever had and it was DELICIOUS. I took one bite and was begging her for at least 3 or 4 more. I ordered salmon with a delightful lemon sauce with capers that was to die for. I usually order salmon because I know my wife is not a big salmon fan and I don't have to share. I offered a bite to be fair (since I was also enjoying her tilapia) and she commented, " I think that is the best salmon I have ever tasted." It was a thinner piece of salmon that was perfectly prepared- juicy and savory. We equally enjoyed each others' entree. The lobster bisque was also wonderful and the salad with homemade vinegarette dressing with blue cheese crumbs was also very good. Are you getting the picture? We had found a dining experience gold mind! All in a warm and cozy, family owned atmosphere.

Our server, Kim, was very attentive and provided everything we needed before we felt the need to ask. If you live in Dallas, and you haven't found Remington's, you're missing the boat. If you live out of town, put it on your list to checkout the next time you're in Dallas. We definitely will dine there again when we come to Dallas (and may go back before we leave town)!
