Landry's restaurant for anniversary

[Anonymous]

We received a $$$ gift card to Landry's chain for our anniversary and can't decide which restaurant in the area is the nicest.

Basically there's Oceanaire, McCormick & Schmicks, Chart House or Morton's Steakhouse in this area.

Does anyone have any suggestions on which restaurant would be the best for an anniversary dinner? I don't eat steak, so am not a fan of Mortons.

We're leaning towards Chart House in Old Town Alexandria, but would love input.

Mortons has a ton on the menu other than steak...

Also it just expanded the menu options even more since Landry's bought it out.

Any experiences with Chart House or Oceanaire?

Chart House is awful. like an upscale Red Lobster. Oceanaire is very good, but very limited non-seafood options -- it's the reverse of Morton's. I often get seafood at Morton's. The one in Georgetown has great atmosphere and the serice is always great.

Chart House has the feel of a chain and only decent food. I'd chose Oceanaire, then Morton's, then McC & S, then Chart House.

Thanks everyone! Will look up Morton's menu. We're big seafood fans so that's why we were thinking the other options. We have only been to M&S and didn't have experience with the others.

I like Oceanaire

+1 for Morton's as the best, even for seafood. My vegetarian friend loves Morton's. Georgetown absolutely the best of all of them.

Morton's or M&S. I'd do Morton's because the overall quality of everything is just better than M&S and as PPs said you don't have to do steak. Chart House in Alexandria is blah, and I haven't been to Oceanaire.
Do not do M&S at the Tyson's or National Harbor locations. I've never had a great experience at either, though the Tyson's location is slightly better.

Oceannaire, but I personally dislike steakhouses.
