PassionFish Restaurant

about PassionFish

PassionFish is the newest restaurant of Passion Food Hospitality, whose owners, Chef Jeff Tunks, Gus Dimillo, and David Wizenberg, are known for the passion, savvy, flavor, and style of all their ventures. Located in the popular Reston Town Center, 40 minutes from downtown Washington, DC, the restaurant is prominently positioned on the corner of Democracy Drive and Explorer Street, in the southwest corner of the office building encompassing the entire block.

PassionFish is the next generation, twenty-first century rendition of the group’s first restaurant, DC Coast, taking its tri-coastal seafood theme to a global level. The menu and food concept are driven by nationally recognized chef Jeff Tunks, whose ‘passion’ lies in sourcing a premier selection of seafood for his establishments. With a cultivated palate based on his 25 years’ experience in the kitchen, Tunks continues to present surprising and creative choices on an ever changing seasonal basis. The cuisine of PassionFish represents the bounty of the world’s oceans, lakes, seas, and waterways reflecting the flavors and natural resources of the Mediterranean, Europe, Asia, and the Americas. The dishes feature a vast array of seasonal fresh seafood, distinctive flavors, and simply elegant presentations.

The décor is anchored by an impressive chilled seafood station in the center of the main dining room juxtaposed by a dramatic “floating” glass staircase accentuating the contemporary setting. Floor-to-ceiling windows illuminate the grand dining area, while offering views of passers-by and the tranquil community park. Banquet rooms, both large and small, present private sanctuaries with windows overlooking a large green space.
