In Short
Those who step down from the tiled bar area will find the rear dining room is unexpectedly large, with upholstered booths and tables flanked by comfortable armchairs. The young waitstaff (in spiffy black vests and pants) serve up steaks, chicken entrees and, as the name indicates, seafood. Standards include a seared tuna appetizer with a gingery side sauce, smoked salmon with a sour cream, dill and caper dressing, and creamy, meaty Maryland crab cakes.

Love this place! Great service, smiles and personality. The happy hour is fantastic, try the lobster tail and shrimp scampi. Not sure what all the fuss is about with Parc but I am truly a devoted Devon fan and look forward to sitting and sipping real soon.

We have had some great dinners with friends and clients and always come up big with both the food and the service . Devons has a great staff who make you feel like you are having a personal dining experience every time. The wait staff (Henry in particular) are very knowledgeable with suggestions and recommendations. The food is creatively prepared and usually to perfection. We like to start with the Mussels prepared at the bar -- Delicious! The Tuna tartar and crabcakes are awesome as well ! All of the fish dishes are fantastic and last time we were in, a couple of the guests picked a beef cut which they raved about. Always a choice for us -- especially when entertaining

I don't usually write reviews but after dining here last night I felt compelled to tell everyone how amazing everything was. I actually ordered the filet mignon and it was honestly the BEST piece of meat I have ever eaten. Great wine list, reasonable pricing, you really can't beat it! Even though its a seafood restaurant I highly recommend the filet, the crab cakes were good too!
