Tackle Box, located just next to it's sister restaurant Hook, will be yet another gem on the Georgetown dining scene. Tackle Box will offer a less formal cafe option for diners by replicating the famous fish houses of New England. Informal in its decor with exposed ceilings, concrete floors, and chalkboard walls.
Weathered buoys (thanks, eBay!) dangle from the ceiling, near a half-roof that helps frame the open kitchen. Picnic tables remind us that communal seating is not such a new phenomenen, after all. A sign near where sodas are dispensed looks as if it were lifted from a beach. "Swimsuits optional beyond this point" it reads. Meanwhile, the menu, written on a chalkboard, is updated to include market finds ("Just in: Grilled grean beans") and embraces the south along with the New England seashore" Tom Sietsema- Washington Post - July 2008
"Never mind that the Atlantic is hours away: (the) new Tackle Box in Georgetown has the feel and taste of a New England fish shack, down to the paint-chipped picnic tables and weathered buoys hanging from the rafters." Washingtonian - July 2008
