When the day earns something beautiful, this is where you find it.
Ocean Meets Earth
Perfectly seared scallops with a golden crust that gives way to sweet, tender centers. Roasted cauliflower adds warmth, pioppini mushrooms bring an earthy depth, and salsa verde cuts through with bright, herbal clarity. The plate is gluten free, built for flavor, not compromise.
This is why certain navy yard restaurants become destinations. Located in the heart of the Capitol Riverfront, Jackie Restaurant turns seafood into memory. The setting—steps from the waterfront—feels right for what's on the plate.
It defines what an American restaurant can do with restraint: exceptional ingredients, confident technique, nothing to prove.
The Details That Matter

High heat, dry pan, perfect timing. The crust forms in seconds, sealing in sweetness. A Jackie Restaurant signature that rewards patience.

Every element arrives at the right temperature, the right moment. This restaurant knows that timing is taste.
When This Moment Fits
A dinner near Nationals Park that feels like an occasion. A quiet weeknight that deserves elevation. A meal with someone who notices the details.
Among restaurants near Navy Yard, this is the one that delivers elegance without pretense in Washington DC. For anyone who loves thoughtful food, this plate is the answer.
You Arrive. You Taste. You Remember.
At Jackie Restaurant, the Seared Sea Scallops turn an evening into something worth savoring. A Navy Yard gem where the American restaurant tradition meets the sea.
