Clean and has variety of stores. Surprisingly Great discounts. The only challenge was finding some parking. I've been to many outlet stores and this one was by far the most crowded in a Sunday afternoon. There is not many places to eat within the outlets nevertheless there are some vending machines and bathrooms.

Nice variety of stores with prices that are so so decent. You do have to pay attention because some of these stores charge full price and not outlet prices like H&M. Michael Kors always great prices, American Eagle, you have to watch some items, Nike has good deals and Adidas.

Outdated outlet, but there is a great choice of brands to select from. It opens at 10 am, there are some vending machines available, restrooms as well as benches to rest while visiting all those shops. There are not many options available for lunch, but it's fine. It has a big parking lot and it's accessible by bus too. We managed to find some nice promotions.

We visit Tanger Outlets about once a month, and it’s always a fun shopping trip. 🛍️ The selection of brands is solid—nothing super high-end, but plenty of popular mid-range and everyday names like Calvin Klein, Michael Kors, Carter’s for kids, Nike, Gap, H&M, and even an Estée Lauder outlet with many of its beauty brands. Our go-to stops are Calvin Klein, Express Factory, and Carter’s. The discounts are much better than what you’d find at regular mall stores like Tysons, though keep in mind most items are last season’s styles rather than the latest collections. Some stores also offer military discounts, which is a nice bonus. The outlet is set up in an open-air, village-style layout. On a nice day, it’s a pleasant place to walk around, but in bad weather (rain, cold) it’s not as convenient. There’s a food court with decent variety, plus Starbucks, and the restrooms are clean and family-friendly with changing tables—super helpful if you’re visiting with kids. Overall, it’s a great spot to score deals on everyday clothes and shoes, with plenty of popular brands to choose from. Definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for good discounts and don’t mind shopping last season’s finds.

Low stress shopping! Very convenient at off hours. Get what you need, get in, get out. Clean and safe, with real security. Bonus: cake in a jar vending machine next to Bath & Body Works!

Great Tanger outlet had a lot of stores that I like to go visit. I was able to get to a puma store. They are not everywhere so this was great that they had this store.. I found everything I pretty much need it and will return here again to shop.

Another great pickup for the low feel like I stole it honestly 🤣. Seriously though a lot of great stuff there. I try to go when I have time because I know the big sizes normally go quickly.

Mansion murder room. We got out with 24 seconds to spare. It was 6 of us in one room. I think its a great setup. The use of technology for hints was a key touch. Staff that day was Leo and Taye and they were great. Sadly got a ticket for parking so be careful to read the signs or park in the garage.

My Wife and I went to Escapology for a double date night and I must say we had a blast 💥 💥💥💥 there are multiple rooms to choose from including rooms for the kids. The room we chose was one of the most difficult to get out, sadly we ran out of time. Im definitely going back to try another room it’s really fun.

We had a family challenge: do all the escape rooms in a day! And Escapology really helped make that happen. From schedule juggling and an awesome assist from game master London - we worked our way through rooms! (Landed a couple leader board spots too!) lots of fun and family time. Rooms had theater level props and decor. Most were exceptionally logical. And clue are readily available for when nudges are needed. Loved it.

Great experience for our family. Our girls are 5yo and 9yo and they loved it. Challenging but not “hard”, but we had hints. We did the lost city and managed to complete it with a few minutes to spare. Thanks to our game team, Taye & Christian.

Our group had such a great time! The room was challenging and full of clever surprises, but what really made the experience stand out was Michele. From start to finish, she was upbeat, helpful, and clearly passionate about making sure everyone had fun. She gave just the right amount of hints, kept the energy high, and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. It’s rare to find someone who brings that much enthusiasm and professionalism to their job — Michele absolutely elevated our visit. We’ll definitely be back and will be requesting her again!

Thank you LONDON for your most excellent service. We won 🏆 our Cyber Heist with 3 minutes and 25 seconds to spare even with equipment malfunction. It was a beautiful way to spend my BIRTHDAY...only wish you all offered Birthday packages for adults too. We like to have fun too!

Had an excellent experience!!! Very entertaining!!! London was so kind and welcoming!!! Loved every second. 100% will be going back.

It started off a little rocky but quickly turned into a great night. When we arrived there was no one there to greet us or tell us where to sit. Once the young lady decided to acknowledge us she said “just find your name yourself”..well ok. But the bartender was great, food was good, the energy at our table was fun and Jonathan was a good energetic teacher. I go to a lot of paint and sips in my home town and I know toward the end it can get a little tight with time but the teacher shouldn’t mention how many more classes you have after and we have to “speed it up.”I pay for my experience and I want dedicated time. It was my boyfriend’s birthday and the class you have to teach after shouldn’t be mentioned(4 times).

I had a fantastic time! Parris & Mallory were an amazing instructor/co-instructor team. I was pleased with my final product. The kitchen staff was fast & friendly. But don't expect much from the mixed drinks. They tasted really cheap & full of dye. I definitely wasn't a fan of that part. But overall, the entire staff was pleasant, the energy was inviting, & it was a great time! I will definitely return, but I'll grab a drink beforehand or just stick with wine.

We're definitely coming back!!! We had a great time at Muse paint bar and the instructor was so friendly. I appreciated the other staffer who gave us tips on how to fix our paintings and encouraged us to explore our artistic side. We ended up being the last group to leave because we were having such a good time. Great music, great instructors, great drinks, and great location.

We had a pretty good time for a date night! We arrived a few minutes late due to arriving late to our hotel, but the staff quickly helped us get caught up. The drinks were a bit overpriced for us, but we weren’t there for food and drinks. We came to enjoy the painting process. The instructor tried to keep it upbeat and walks around to make sure you are getting the hang of it.

My husband and I had a great time at Muse. I love that whenever we needed help someone was there to guide us with our paintings. Jonathan was extremely fun. Lindsey - the manager also helped us throughout our paintings which we really appreciated. They turned out so well and we’re so excited to hang them up. The drinks were great too. I recommend this for a fun date night.

Had a great time at a bachelorette party hosted at Muse paint bar! All supplies were provided including smocks to protect our clothes. Our class leader was amazing! Pacing was great for both beginners and advanced artists.

An absolute wonderful date night. The staff were kind, artistic, and helpful. They kept a very positive vibe throughout the experience and made you feel like an artist. Remember to ask for help and they will give you one on one assistance to suit your needs. (While food is available, recommend eating first and enjoying the wine rather than the menu.)

Such a fun place to chill with family. Value for money and right in the middle of national harbour.

The Carousel at National Harbor: A View That Fails to Rise The Carousel at National Harbor offers little beyond a slow, circular view of the waterfront. Even at sunset, when the light softens and the harbor glows, the experience remains oddly flat. There is no sense of wonder, no rhythm to hold your attention—just a quiet, contemplative loop. Perhaps that serenity might appeal to some, but for most, the ride feels more like a placeholder than a destination. For the price, it delivers less than it promises. Three stars for the view, and little else.

Carousel is a great deal, about 7 dollars for our 1 kid for unlimited rides, parents got on for free. Beautiful setting, our kid just absolutely loved it. Made it even better that they could hop off and go to the playground right beside it for a break and then hop back on. The employee/s weren't too happy or welcoming about having to be outside to operate the ride for paying customers, one parent said that one of the employee was rolling their eyes when they went to let them know their kids wanted to go back on the carousel.

Cute little merry go round with a small playground right beside it. There are plenty of animals to ride as well as a bench or two. Music seems to be Disney, kidzbob, and 80s themed which was cool. For 7 bucks I was able to ride with my son unlimited times. We walked by the water and came back before we left. So the rides don't have to be consecutive which is convenient if you and yours want to wander off for food and breaks. The adjacent parking lot is also convenient and super close to the exit! Highly recommend.

A fun time. Reasonable at $7.00 for all day ($5.00 with military ID) and adults are free. Only debit or credit cards accepted at the window. The carousel is well maintained, rides are several minutes and to modern family friendly music. There is plenty of seating for non rides and a playground behind the ride. The area is fenced in so little ones can't wander off. A bit far from the bathrooms (by Chipotle) but otherwise worth the price.

The Carousel at National Harbor is a delightful family attraction. Fun rides and a stunning waterfront view make it a must-visit! It’s $7 to enjoy the carousel and the playground. Totally brings me back to my childhood.

What a nice little area of National Harbor right next to the water and the big ferris 🎡 wheel. This kid-size 🎠 carousel is decently priced and you can get a ticket for all day rides along with ample seating for parents/adults and a fenced in playground as well. Lovely spot for a nice morning or afternoon on the weekend.

Way too small a branch for its location. Being the only coffee chain in the outlet makes it very popular. We visited on relatively quite weekend and the place was packed with frequent people queue by the door. As long as you don't mind waiting a bit longer for your drink, it's fine.

Ordered a hot chocolate, from the first looked fine with foam on the top, but it tasted horrible. A cocoa powder was separated from milk, very very bitter and I couldn’t drink it. Also I could feel a strong smell of chlorine cleaning liquid from the floor. Seems like they washed it with over-concentrated liquid.

The employees at this Starbucks are always very nice and welcoming! They make you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in. Great service, friendly atmosphere, and consistently good coffee — one of my favorite Starbucks locations!

I ordered a coffee and then waited another 15 minutes just to receive a cup of water I requested, even though the staff weren’t particularly busy. It made me feel like the money Starbucks invests in training employees to write customers’ names on cups or to be friendly is meaningless. Good service should start from the most basic things. A disappointing customer experience.

I just want to share that the baristas working tonight Matt, James & Hershey were phenomenal. I used to be a partner and know the stress they experienced this evening... and they were calm, collected, professional & friendly. The greeted everyone who walked in, drinks were perfect, and they were just so extremely nice. Thank you!

This store associates are extremely unprofessional and unpleasant. I called them they said the store will be closed at 9 pm but we can order before closing time. Then when we arrived at 8:57pm, the door were closed and two of them waving at us goodbye with rude and angry expressions on their face while there are still a bunch of people inside. It happened at 6/26/2025.

Amazing customer service from both the lady at the cashier and the guy making the hot chocolates very welcoming and she was very sweet!

- the food is pretty good here some good stuff others not so much just like any other place, I had the chicken and asparagus pasta and it wasn't that great all the other stuff was good though. - service wasn't that good either the waitress came around once to take our order then only once more for a drink refill and check so not the best. - staff were friendly. - nice atmosphere but a bit loud. - clean business. - some good price stuff some kind of over priced as well. - overall I would recommend this place, I just think the staff could be a bit better and a few things I ordered weren't that good the last 2 times visiting.

This place started off as being great. Greatness turned to sorrow as the waitress told me what she recommended “meatloaf” was no longer available today. This really had me confused. How could they possibly be out of meatloaf? After all, it was “house made”, as stated in the menu. After some deliberation, and speaking with chef,,, they made meatloaf. Let me tell you, possibly the best meatloaf I’ve ever had. Came out steaming hot, and looking delicious. Presentation was amazing. Taste was amazing. Green beans where fresh. This was a great dish. The Brussel sprouts for the appetizers where not great. Wife had Cajun pasta, that was delightful, daughter had the pretzel, it was good. Son had chx that was fine. Would have been a 5 if they had not said they where out of meatloaf then had to come back and make the customer happy. Overall good experience. Would come back for sure.

We stopped by on a Sunday for dinner! The wait wasn't bad. We got a TON of food and everything was good. The spinach and artichoke dip was hot and not too salty. For dinner I had a burger with bacon on it and the bacon was REALLY good! I could have eaten a whole plate of just that. I tried it with the cauliflower rice, which was well seasoned and fun. My friends got beers, which were all good. Dessert was just as good as my burger, we went with the mini desserts. The creme Brulee was tasty, and the salted caramel tart was really good. The atmosphere and service were good too. Our server was really great and chatted with us, all of the food came fast. It wasn't too loud. Overall it was a good dinner.

The service and suggestions from our waitress were great and the atmosphere was nice and relaxed for lunch on a Monday. We got the BBQ Chicken Flatbread, the Maple Pepper Bacon Flatbread, the mango margarita, and a flight. The food was prepared well and and was filling, and the drinks hit the spot. Will definitely be coming back!

The waitress Jessica was awesome. There was a little wait for our food because of a large party, but she kept checking in on us and at least got our drinks and our daughter's food out first. She even gave us a courtesy dessert, which was extra thoughtful. The food was great. I had a waffle topped with BBQ pulled pork and fried onions. It was more than filling. The beers were really good. The Blarney was my favorite. I'd definitely go back. It's a very nice ambiance.

I was a little worried with all the negative reviews and only 3 something stars but myself and the group of 7 I was with highly enjoyed our dinner at GC. I had the pulled pork waffle and it was very good. Their flights of beer are arlight but well prived for trying new stuff. Some people complained about service, I wasn't amazed, but for a large group and at dinner time I thought their service was appropriate

The plant Beyond Burger was very good. The slaw on the side had too much dressing. The fish and chips with tartar sauce were good too. Our waitress was sweet and attentative.

I've always enjoyed coming here, even though I haven't had a chance to visit in several years, so the fairly negative overall star rating had me both perplexed and a little reticent on returning. So glad I went with the memories of past experiences, because everyone in our party had an amazing dinner experience! I had a mocha-like cocktail I was assuming would be hot (like a Hot Toddy or an Irish coffee) but was served chilled with a partially edible chocolate straw. Slightly disappointed but it was still fairly tasty. My boyfriend didn't get an appetizer of his own but shared a few Shrimp Kisses (cheese and shrimp wrapped in bacon) with his 10-year old son and I had their Lobster Bisque which was OUTSTANDING! Toby had his usual go-to, the ribeye steak, while both Logan and I had seafood delicacies—a humongous 12oz Australian lobster and stuffed (Crab Imperial) Salmon, respectively. The food and service was SPECTACULAR and the views were simply the icing on the cake! So glad this place was just how I remembered!

I highly recommend the next time you are at national harbor go here! They have a multi course special going for $38. The service was great. The food was amazing. If you want to be overall satisfied with the food you pick and the exquisite quality of the food then go here. This restaurant atmosphere is a dress to impress vibe but during the week it seems more relaxed crowd. Right now rockfish is market price and in season. The fresh fish was cooked to perfection. I liked the grilled lemon as an extra layer of flavor.

Took my gf here and we had a lovely time overall. We went when it was not very busy and our service was super quick. We got Asian calamari which was really yummy and then for our mains we got the shrimp platter and a fried cod dish, sharing everything. It all tasted amazing and the tartar sauce was hitting. I would absolutely recommend this place to seafood lovers visiting the national harbor!

They have a great selection of steaks and Seafood. No bone-in steaks, but the ribeye was cooked to perfection. My berry mojito was excellent. Service was prompt and food came out fast.

From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting, with an upscale yet relaxed atmosphere. The staff was incredibly attentive, ensuring every detail of the experience was perfect. The food was the star of the evening—perfectly prepared, fresh, and full of flavor. Each dish was a culinary delight that exceeded my expectations. Whether you’re a seafood lover or prefer other options, the menu offers something for everyone, and the quality is second to none. I can’t say enough good things about this place. It was such a great experience that I’m already looking forward to coming back for the salmon power bowl! Highly recommended for anyone looking for exceptional service and outstanding cuisine.

Dragon’s kiss had a good balance and was good. Mussels was well flavored, oysters were good, and Steak Frites was okay. Fries were a little oily. Overall good experience.

Disappointing experience at McCormick & Schmick's. Prices were steep, and the food was mediocre at best. Calamari lacked flavor, lobster was plain, and the cream sauce on the shrimp and lobster tail was unappetizing. It's as if they have NO seasonings in thier kitchen.Lobster bisque was sweet and unpleasant. Only highlights were the asparagus and strawberry lemonade. Not worth the price tag.

1 scoop $9, 2 scoops $10, 3 scoops $11. Lots of shops and food in this area! Ferris wheel and carousel too! Boat dock, games, big screen for movies and games! Lots of options of ice cream, toms of cones, cones in bowls!

This past Sunday, I had such a fantastic experience at Ben & Jerry's thanks to Katelyn! From the moment I walked over, she greeted me with a huge smile and so much energy - it instantly made the visit better. She was patient while I browsed flavors and offered great suggestions. What stood out the most was how genuinely kind and upbeat she was. You could tell she cared about making sure every customer left happy. My ice cream was scooped perfectly and she made the whole experience fun, not just tasty. This kind of service takes and already amazing treat and makes it memorable. Big shoutout to Katelyn - she is a true gem behind the counter. I'll definitely be coming back, and I hope she's the one serving me again.

I had an outstanding experience thanks to the incredible staff. They were highly communicative and maintained a fast-paced environment that made everything run smoothly. Highly recommended!

The ice cream was delicious but I ordered a waffle cone bowl and there was wooden spoon chunks baked inside the cone that I surprisingly bite down into. Hurt my jaw, Very dangerous!!!

I had such a great experience at Ben & Jerry’s! The ice cream was amazing as always, but what really stood out was the customer service. Mike went above and beyond. He was friendly, patient, and made great recommendations. You could tell he genuinely enjoys helping customers and creating a welcoming atmosphere. It’s not every day you get that kind of personal touch, so thank you, Mike, for making our visit extra sweet!

Katerin was super helpful! She is very knowledgeable of the menu and prices and had no problem helping me decide from the variety of flavors. She made me have a great experience and gave me many recommendations. Overall the service and ice cream were excellent!

Diana was an incredible host! She welcomed us in with a sincere smile and took the time to share recommendations with us as well as her personal favorites. You can tell she takes pride on her work. Would definitely come back again! 10/10

Keyshawn, our server, provided adequate service. The Cowboys burger ordered by my son was not to his liking; however, our server promptly addressed the issue. My other son's BBQ ribs and chicken platter received a rating of 3 due to the ribs being slightly overcooked, although the abundance of BBQ sauce was appreciated. The pork chop platter ordered by my partner was well-received, with the pork chops being tender and the overall meal deemed scrumptious. The rest room was a complete turn off.

Date night with wife for our month anniversary celebration from being married. Walking inside it seemed enjoyable. There’s plenty of televisions and a bar. There’s bull riding and music. That alone is the best part of our experience there. The food was horrible! I ordered a steak & cheese, it was dry and no flavor. As a cook I could tell it was warmed in a microwave or an oven until the cheese slightly melted on top. It was extremely small for my taste so I ordered extra meat. My wife had a shrimp and chicken Alfredo and she said immediately that it was horrible! Her exact words. It was runny and the chicken was as if it was dry and pulled. Our appetizer was nachos. It was also not good. This is a place for people whom drink and just need something on their stomachs. No flavor whatsoever. Our Lemonade was cool. Women were allowed to ride the bull with skirts on, which made me and my wife uncomfortable while we attempted to make the best of our bad experiences. We quickly asked for check not finishing our meals, and was over charged for our meals. I was charged 3 times for my steak & cheese. The waitress did it in a way most people wouldn’t have caught it. She put 2 of them together as one order than 1 separate. Like a steak & cheese cost $28 by itself and $15 for extra meat! That might work with the drunk crowd, but I was extremely pissed! After alerting the waitress she semi corrected the bill! After straightening it, we left but not before stopping by the restrooms which was filthy! Trash and toilet paper everywhere, with the smell of urine in the air. Oh what a night. We left and enjoyed ourselves better just sitting in our truck talking. I would not recommend this place to my enemy. I usually am not this harsh, but this is the exact and honest truth.

100% recommend! Lots of food options! $1 bull rides! Tons of tvs! Pork chops, salmon and corn! Chips and queso! 2 ft tall 3 inch thick pretzel and cheese! 1 block from Gaylord hotel and convention national harbor! Coconut shrimp and sweet potato’s fries! Sweet Chili sauce and bbq sauce for the fries! Salmon and shrimp pasta was delicious! Tons of great food options!

Overall this was not a pleasant experience. Don’t get me wrong, the food was good, actually, they had great burgers. The hostess staff were good, they seemed confused about table availability, but were quick to get us seated, once it was figured out. Once seated, the service started out good, but over the course of the meal, it deteriorated drastically. We ordered an appetizer, four burgers with a side of wings, and some adult beverages. The appetizer was prompt, but there was a lag between dishes. When the burgers finally came out they were, as stated, delicious. They seemed confused as to who order what, and we just asked to give the name of each one she we could say where it went. We never received the wings. As for beverages, they were quick to run dry. My wife was asked if she wanted a refill, but I never got the opportunity, I eventually when to the bar and ordered my own drinks, separately from my meal. Which, I’d like to add, the bar staff were amazing! And the cocktails were very good. When the meal was over, the waitress seemed annoyed. When we asked to have the wings removed from the check, she stated, “you never ordered wing, at least not from me.” Which didn’t matter, so long as I wasn’t charged. Now what annoyed me the most, is the automatic 18% tip they add to the bill. It’s in the taxes portion of the bill, which I didn’t see until she ran my card. Normally I review my bill and add whatever tip based off of the subtotal, never did I think to look for an added tip, unless I’m with a large party.

The appetizer platter we had was a good deal and everything on it was good. Atmosphere first it took a while for the hostess to appear and a little longer to get us seated. Don't know why. The place was not that crowded. Once seated all was good.

Good service even when it's busy. We loved the decor and the fun vibe. We sat at an indoor table near the street, but there wasn't any traffic noise. Two of us shared an appetizer platter for lunch, and still had leftovers.

Showed up between lunch and dinner with a large group. The wait staff are very helpful. Food is also good, but there is a limited selection (bar food really.) However the (handicap accessible) bathrooms on the first floor were either out of order or extremely filthy. The second floor bathroom was very clean, but people had to walk up the stairs. To our disappointment, the bull was out of order.

This place is so much fun! The piano players have a ton of energy, really interact well with the audience, and have great voices. We sat at one of bar rail tables. We thought we'd be upstairs but we were downstairs. It wasn't bad. In fact, I preferred it over the crowded main floor. However, the wooden bar stool seats were extremely uncomfortable. The bar staff was cool and made great drinks. We got the June Bug and the Peach Punch! They were pretty pricey for the size. They were $14 a piece. Both tasted amazing; very fruity and refreshing. We didn't order any food, so I couldn't tell you how it tasted. But the vibe was great and music plentiful!

We've celebrated several occasions at Bobby McKey's. It is always fun: the live show and entertainment, the photo booth, and the environment. Huge shout out to the host (Lynnet), who I was communicating with about our reservation. Lynnet replied to the emails right away, answered questions, and assisted with our requests. Thank you Lynnet and thanks to the performers for making the night fun and entertaining!

One of the best late night activities I've ever experienced. Great vibes from the performers and attendees. Drinks were decent. Would absolutely return and can't wait to do so.

We took the in-laws for their 25th wedding anniversary. Beware... it got raunchy very quickly! I'm sure it has a lot to do with the crowd that is there at any given time, but the songs performed and phrases written on the boards were embarrassingly nasty for our group and we're not prudes. Our waiter was great. We ordered drinks which were okay, but definitely on the weak side. There seemed to be a lot of regulars there who did seem to get special treatment. We left after about 45 minutes in, if it was even that long, while they were playing a particularly nasty song. They definitely could play. The girl played and sang way too loud and the guy you could barely hear. Some people would love it, but not for me and my group.

Super fun place. Went there a couple of times during my attendance at a nearby conference. Staff are very attentive. Entertainment is engaging and fun!

The dueling pianos are amazing the artist that perform are top notch and know a good variety of songs to keep every music lover engaged! If you are looking for a great night out with friends or loved ones I would add this to your list!

We spent a bachelorette party here this past weekend. The atmosphere was fun, and the artists are very talented. However, my one-star review is based on the misleading description of how song requests work. The website mentions that the show is “all request,” but it does not mention that requests are essentially ignored unless you tip a significant amount—usually $20 or more. Lower tips were even joked about by the performers (for example, comments about how they “won’t play for $5”). The waitress also mentioned that the $5 request we made, would likely not be played. (After we had already spent the $5) Most of the night, only high-dollar requests were played. Considering we had already paid $29 per person to get in, we expected that our song requests would at least have a fair chance of being played. The website/Google Description states: “Each night at Bobby McKey’s Dueling Piano Bar, two to four piano players take your requests and provide entertainment like no other venue near Washington D.C., Virginia, or Maryland. Our dueling piano bar comes to life each night with all-request live music and improvisational humor on National Harbor's Fleet Street.” I believe the venue should make it very clear that unless you’re willing to spend another $20+ per song, your requests will not be played. Transparency about this policy would help guests set appropriate expectations.

One of my best breakfast options when in New Harbor , best in class no complaints. Omelets are nice and fluffy, plenty of vegetables, thick slice of bacon not crisp but heat flavor. Prices are not bad even for hotel restaurant. Highly recommend , foods is way better than dinner in my experience buy food that look at my dinner review. Netsi did an awesome job serving my takes on one, foods came out quickly and tasted really good.

My wife and I had an incredible experience coming here! The reviews made me hesitate on coming here and I assumed we needed a reservation for a table. We were greeted by very friendly staff as a walk-in and were offered a table in less than 10 minutes. Our waiter was very kind, professional, and helped made our experience even better! I believe his name was Patrico? I apologize if I got the name wrong. He upgraded my wine when they didn’t have what I wanted available. He even gave us a small surprise of incredible milk and white chocolates after our meals! We left very full and satisfied. I believe this was one of the most incredible crab cakes I’ve ever experienced and the duck was incredibly remarkable. You take a bite and you walk into an experience of flavor. It was a very remarkable fine dining experience that will leave my wife and I very happy memories. Highly recommend this restaurant with this waiter. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Excellent restaurant! July 4th weekend in D.C. The restaurant is in the Gaylord. The food, service, and atmosphere are all wonderful. We brought our kids, and they enjoyed it as well. It was a later dinner, and so we ordered the hanger steak, the braised short ribs, my aunt ordered the 1/2 roasted chicken. Everything was delicious, and the flavors were very good. I especially love the decor, theme and atmosphere was sophisticated but comfortable. A definite must try if at the National Harbor or staying at the Gaylord.

Decided to give this a try for breakfast. Food was solid, service was very friendly, and all of the decor inside is very nice. I think the only sticking point for me was the price for this being four and not five stars. Total bill for two was over 80 with tip and even at nicer places in DC I'm not used to breakfast going much above 50 to 60. Otherwise it's not a bad choice considering the options in the area.

We went for a celebration so we had a large group of about 20 people. Service was phenomenal! I did not get to take many photos but we had the following at our table: Charcuterie board - yummy, if only I didn’t have braces on, I would’ve killled it. Bone marrow - had it for the first time. It tasted good. Bread and pineapple butter 10/10 - I loveeee bread!! And this was so delicious, especially the butter! The sweetness of the pineapple jelly made it all the better. I would’ve ordered more if I could. (Me) Filet mignon and crab cake 10/10 - this was really good and chef cooked it to perfection, just like I asked - medium well. Crab cake was great too! (Husband) Wagyu Oscar style 8/10 - aged 4 years, tasted very good. He asked for it medium and it was nice and tender. Roasted Asparagus side 9/10 - it looked like it was crunchy but it was actually very tender and not chewy! Great for my braces. I had a mocktail and my husband had a smoked old fashion. Loved it! Atmosphere was nice, great for a dinner date. We would totally return when we’re in the Gaylord again!

Wonderful dining experience! Servers were attentive, manager checked in on us, ambiance was clean and modern, and the food was phenomenal!! 1000/10 recommend. Thank you for a wonderful time! (They also validate parking for 3 hours- just make sure you use the Gaylord parking garage and not a public ones in National Harbor)

The food was phenomenal. After being at a conference all day and having lots of snacks, I opted for a lighter dinner consisting of caesar salad, it's called my creamed spinach, and a french onion potato. The freshly made rosemary bread along with the sweet butter, was delicious period followed by. It's the best cream spinach I have ever encountered. If you like french onion soup, you would love this potato. The caesar salad was a light portion, but just enough with the large side dishes.

My friends and I were very excited to try The Brass Tap in Oxon Hill but instead, we were left with disappointing meals and poor service time. To begin, we were not seated by a server, and were approached after 5-7 minutes of standing at the host stand. The server that approached us said we can sit anywhere we want, however it was difficult to find a clean table for a party of 6, as the tables were almost all still unclean from previous diners. We settled for what looked like the cleanest table we were going to get and after 8 minutes we were finally approached with menus. Once we ordered our food, we waited a total of 1 hour and 20 minutes for all of our table to have their food, while other diners who walked in after us were already served. The food was brought out one plate at a time with 5-10 minute waits in between which was an issue since everyone wanted to wait for all of the food to be out, and the food that was served was cold by that time. On top of the wait, food quality was below decent. The food was oily and seemed old. My fish was overcooked and the breading had an extremely odd taste. My friends’ food was so oily, that we had to drain it into a sauce cup (which was filled from just 1 drained side dish). With all of the hassle that came with dining here, I sure did not enjoy paying a mandatory 20% gratuity on a service I did not enjoy and a meal I disliked. The music was extremely low causing diners’ chatter to be the only atmosphere I can remember. Overall, I would not eat at The Brass Tap, nor recommend it to a friend.

On Mother’s Day, my father and I took my 80-year-old grandmother out for a quick bite while visiting National Harbor, MD. We chose to support The Brass Tap, and although it made a nice first impression walking in, the experience quickly went downhill. The service was disappointingly slow, largely due to the “seat yourself” setup, which led to a long wait before we were able to place our order. We ordered two margarita flights ($20 each) and a ginger ale, along with our meals. Unfortunately, the pizza I received did not match the description on the menu, and when I raised the issue with our server, there was little effort or urgency to address the problem. At that point, I no longer wanted the pizza. After waiting 30 minutes, we were told the flights wouldn’t be coming because the bartender was “too busy.” By that time, our food had arrived, but we still hadn’t received any drinks—not even water. Between the lack of communication, poor service, and weak excuses, this visit was a real letdown. I genuinely wanted to enjoy and support this place, but based on this experience, I cannot recommend it. Do better. Look at the picture, does it look busy to you ?

Got a chance to watch NBA finals with no problem plenty of TV screens to watch. First time visiting burger and onion rings were amazing

My husband and I ate at Brass Tap National Harbor in Oxon Hill Md. Great food . We ate the fish and shrimp platters. Our server Lamia A . The owner Mark came over and introduced himself and he was great to talk to he told us what is good. We appreciate talking to him. Thanks we appreciate the terrific hospitality. We be back . Everyone come to support this restaurant because the food service and atmosphere are amazing. So many draft beers and cocktails. Thanks.

After experiencing lousy service and leaving a restaurant across the street, The Brass Tap. The food was good and the ambiance were good with ample seating outside. The thing that set this restaurant and sports bar apart was the service. I neglected to get the name of our server but he was great at his job. Kudos to him and his work ethic.

My Husband and I were looking for a chill spot for happy hour so we decided to try this place. Great atmosphere and our server was on point. We were curious to try a Mexican Mule and he gave it a great review, so we did...and it was good, flavorful with a nice kick. Food was really good too (especially for a happy hour menu). We ordered the chicken nachos and brussels sprouts. Love the fact that it was black owned as well. We’d definitely go back again...and try dinner. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

St. Patrick's Day Birthday celebration for my son. Of course, being St. Patrick's Day it was SUPER busy when we got there, hardly an empty seat in the place. There was what appeared to be 2 servers working! In spite of it being so busy, the two of them ROCKED IT!!! Stefron S was our server he was AMAZINGLY calm. The food was good and seemed to be enjoyed by everyone.

First time here, and I can say I'm impressed! The steak and cheese is absolute perfection. The bread is nice and crispy, not soggy at all! This IS the best steak and cheese I've had (I've been to Philly!!) The drinks are STRONG, are a little high in price,until you get yours! We'll worth it. The burger tastes like it's straight from a grill. Nice smoky charred taste. If you're around the national harbor, i definitely suggest stopping by this place.

It's been a long time since I visited Public House, National Harbor. When we arrived, we were seated at a table, and we had to scan a code to place an order. Not everyone is doing apple Pay or debit cards, so we called someone over to take our orders. We were paying cash and ordered what we wanted to eat that night. The steak tacos and Thai chili wings were good. It's been a while, so it was different experiencing security checking elderly people and others at the restaurant late hours. I enjoyed the dj, and music was a vibe during the night.

Love the food, great portion and good quality. I loved the fries and my sandwich and burger was delicious! Simple beef and cheese! I give it 3 stars becuase the service was very blah... I came in, they sat us down and asked us to use the QR and that was it. Besides getting a water and my food brought to me, there was zero service. The servers were more interested in chit chatting at the bar and hanging out. There was literally myself and another old couple. There was little excuse not to give us any attention. Never got my water refilled and I luckily bought my own from CVS down the street earlier... I gave no tip and thought this pay yourself and order thing is awesome becuase there is zero guilt and there was no face to face. I just paid my bill on the app and walked out. Servers and staff didnt even notice me walk out as they were so busy chatting... disappointing at best~ The bar is technically near the front door, so yeah, its amazing how distracted they were.

We came to National Harbor on a Friday back in December just to wonder around and ended up eating here as everywhere else was full, and it was wonderful. it’s a very causal but pleasant environment. They have a QR code for you to scan and open your own tab and close whenever you’re finished, which I enjoyed greatly as we were not rushed to finish and our order was not messed up. The food came quickly and we were brought water as well. The manager walked around to each table at one point to ask everyone how everything was going, which I appreciated. They had a very nice variety of music, different pop and rap artists, and they had many different programs on the televisions especially sports. I found it to be a delightful experience despite what the other bad reviews are saying. I greatly enjoyed not being bothered every 5 minutes like other places that are trying to flip the tables and rush you out. If you need something, there are always people walking by. We had to ask for another set of silverware, and we did not have a problem getting service for that. This place is definitely unique in how they operate compared to a traditional restaurant which is why I think some people don’t like it because they want that service, but I greatly appreciate and enjoy it because of how it is run differently and will definitely be back. Kudos to Public House National Harbor!!

Good food and beer, they're running a table based toast system for splitting checks and doing orders. You have to log in on your phone to order, it's nice and novel, but I think i prefer the human interaction. It can be difficult to flag someone down if there are issues or if you need someone. Overall, great burgers

The food was great! It came out in a reasonable amount of time, was cooked properly, and was quite flavorful. Sadly, the service was severely lacking. While.pur food was delivered in a reasonable amount of time, no one came to check in on us. We were a party of 3 but only received 2 place settings and even though I asked multiple people for a third, we never received it. Sadly, we will likely not be returning.

Terrible experience with my team trying to eat there for lunch on a weekday afternoon. I understand it was busy, but we were seated as soon as we walked in so it couldn't have been that busy. First, we had no server. The hostess said to scan the QR code to order and pay. Fair enough. It would have been nice to have an option but oh well. All five of us had our orders in the system within 2-3 minutes. In about 40 minutes, one of us got her plain grilled cheese sandwich. In another 20 minutes, one more sandwich arrived and a cold grilled cheese. So we'd been there an hour and 3 of 5 orders had been delivered. The last two orders never made it. An hour and twenty minutes in and we had to leave to get back to work. Of course there was now a long line of customers doing the same thing and waiting to get refunded. There are a LOT of restaurants at National Harbor. Do yourself a favor and choose a different one. The only positive from this experience is now that I've tried eating at Public House, I'll never have to try again.

This restaurant is located in the Gaylord Hotel at the National Harbor. This restaurant is more like bar food kind of vibes because there is not a big selection for food. You are to find your own table and then wait for the staff to serve you. After 15 minutes, I flagged someone down for service. Families were here so it's a very social family friendly kind of restaurant. I ordered the OG burger sliders (2 for $12) they are smaller than I thought, wish the burger took up the entire bun, Bay fries (delicious -$14, enough for a group) & traditional wings (Buffalo sauce is soo good). The food came out fairly quickly after ordering which was nice. It's a little loud in there but overall it was a quick dinner which was good.

We connected with another family for an event at the Gaylord in National Harbor and took all the kids (4) to Harbor Social to get something to eat and play some games. The kids got chicken tenders and fries which went over well for them. For the adults we shared the sliders, guacamole and chips, and some truffle fries. Since I was not that hungry I just sampled the guacamole and chips which was good. There were a number of games there including air hockey, pool, darts, cornhole, bocce ball and duckpin bowling. The bowling cost extra but the others were free (you just need to check in with the gamemaster). My oldest (11) and I played a couple rounds of darts then we joined the rest of the crew for bowling. Overall I thought it was a great family spot as there was something there for everyone (including the big screen TVs which had live sports).

Harbor Social, located inside the Gaylord National Resort at National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Maryland, is a fantastic spot for delicious, elevated casual dining. The crab cake slider is a standout, featuring fresh, tender crab and a tangy remoulade on a toasted bun. Their truffle fries are crispy and indulgent, with just the right touch of truffle oil and Parmesan. The fries with black garlic aioli offer a bold, umami-rich twist, and the wings are perfectly crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. A great choice for a laid-back meal with big flavors!

We recently visited Harbor Social inside the Gaylord National Resort in National Harbor, MD. Overall, the experience was decent. The food was good, but the prices were on the expensive side. We went on a particularly crowded night, which limited our ability to enjoy the games available. However, if you're staying at the hotel resort, it's a convenient place to grab food and a drink. The service could use some improvement, as it was a bit slow, but this may have been due to the high volume of patrons that evening. Despite this, we enjoyed the atmosphere and the vibe of the place. We were celebrating a graduation, and it turned out to be a good spot for our group to meet up.

EXPENSIVE!!! Love the food but felt like I needed to take out small mortgage after eatting here. They serve sliders...thats right folks! Not even full size burgers. 6 sliders will run you 36 bucks! Want fries with that? That'll be 14 bucks! Like to wash that down with a frosty beer....10 dollars please. I lpaid almost 75 bucks without tip. Food was good...service was good, but they will try to upsale you (not sure if they get commission or something). Be wary, they'll say something like "You want fries with that right?" or "You should have the fries as well!". I'm all for sampling the tasty foods, but I felt like I was buying a time share im Colorado. Would like to see the place more clean...tables looked like the seat of a public bus. Host was very professional and bar was fully stocked...just get that cocktail coupon ready...old fashions will run you 18 smackers! Maybe Ill eat here again one day after I cash my 401k?

The Perfect Sports Bar inside the Gaylord Resort is a great spot. The friendly staff made us feel welcome, and the chicken wings were delicious. With plenty of TVs to watch sports and a variety of games to play, including a bowling alley, it's the ideal place to relax and have fun.

The food was pretty good and the place was really fun, but the seat Yourself chaos during a dance competition with 5000 people is NOT IT. Later another day there were only two bartenders on and I wasted over 20 minutes for a drink. The manager was just standing there and not being helpful. I get that a person can only serve so quickly, but I don't understand how you don't staff when you know that thousands of people are converging on the hotel for an event.

Beautiful restaurant. Nice staff. Lovely ambiance. And while I appreciate fusions and personally love to indulge in a vast array of tastes and flavors, I unfortunately did not enjoy the flavors of my initial dish (fried chicken w/gochujang and blue cheese and ginger broccolini and the alcoholic drink that was their take on peach tea). I love these flavors separately but together they did not work well to me. Manager, Mikayla and the Guest Relations worker were both very accommodating and understanding which I truly appreciated because I am not fond of having to ask for a dish to be returned. I ended up getting the burger with bacon jam and the Waayy South drink and both items were Delicious!!! Another person in my party ordered the shrimp and grits and loved it as well!

Making reservations online was quick and easy. When we arrived, we were seated right away — even earlier than our scheduled time. The atmosphere had a nostalgic charm that I really enjoyed. While the menu had limited options and no pictures, I checked a few reviews beforehand and decided on the ribeye steak entrée, while the kids went with the cheeseburgers. The food did not disappoint! The ribeye was cooked perfectly and portioned generously — I had enough for two meals. The kids devoured their cheeseburgers completely. I left full, happy, and very satisfied with our dining experience.

Stopped by Succotash at National Harbor for happy hour and it did not disappoint! 🍸 The drinks hit the spot and the Everything Platter was a fun way to sample a little bit of everything. The Asian-inspired cauliflower was a standout—crispy and flavorful, it reminded me of a top-notch General Tso’s. And the fried pickles? They absolutely tickled me—perfectly crunchy with just the right tang. A cozy, lively spot with great bites and a vibe worth coming back for. #Succotash #NationalHarbor #HappyHour #Foodie #GoodEats #DMVFoodie #TastyBites #HappyHourVibes

Wow!!! Your taste buds are going to love this place. I wanted a quick small lunch and was pleasantly overwhelmed by the flavors. Great options for vegetarians. I had the deviled eggs, crispy Korean cauliflower, succotash and sweet bourbon pickled jalapeño. Great fusion of flavors!!!

Succotash is well-known for its delicious food, and it’s always busy—which makes getting a table feel like a treat in itself. On this visit, however, something unusual happened: the server originally assigned to our table disappeared, and somehow our order was lost in the process. We waited long enough to see the table next to us (who arrived later) finish their meal and leave, so we finally asked their server for help. Thankfully, that server kindly took over our table, brought out all of our food, and gave us excellent service for the rest of the meal. The food was, as always, very tasty, and the cocktails were especially good. Despite the rough start, the great service and delicious dishes made it a positive experience overall.

Succotash is an extraordinary example of blending two different cusines right. Atmospheric dim lighting alongside beautiful wooden architecture creates a cozy and comfortable dining experience. The service was fantastic, and I recommend the Taste the South set of dishes, which are very filling, delicious, and affordable at 29 dollars a person. Honestly, I probably would put this restaurant as one of the best in the National Harbor area! I'll definitely come back to here sometimes in the future. :D

This rating is more so based off the food. My wife and I tried the “Taste of the South” and was highly disappointed. I may have enjoyed 2 samples but my wife only liked the catfish. Nearly 95% of food wasn’t season well. I thought the chicken and waffle was okay but I’ve had much better fried chicken. Now on a positive note, the manager Alyssa was very welcoming! She honestly saved this rating from being 1-2 stars. Our waiter was okay, he was a Hispanic guy (can’t remember name) but he wasn’t over the top exceptional. Didn’t do anything bad, just felt like he was there doing to his job. This restaurant NEED better lighting! It’s super dark! We needed our phone light to see the menu. The vibe was upbeat with a very dim setting. The only light we had was candle light. It was terrible.

I just love this place. The servers are all so awesome. This time I sat in the bar area instead of the bar, since I was with family. Our server was Darnell! He was excellent. We ordered so much food. The half chicken (divine), a couple dozen oysters of course, linguine, hush puppies (new fave) and the lobster roll. I was the only person that ordered a drink, the endless summer margarita… I only ordered it because I wanted to try the cherry banana foam. It was very tasty, but extremely sweet. All of the margs on happy hour were $11. Love this place!

Amazing. Had a wonderful lunch. Cobb salad, with lobster, (1/2 order was available on menu), Calamari with marinara sauce and crab dip all served quickly. Our bartender DJ was busy but gave us great attention. This place is Very clean. Very friendly and has Wonderful seafood. This was the second time we visited and the oysters and lobster roll were great as well. Definitely a go-to at National Harbor.

I had dinner here twice in 2 nights. Loved the food and service both times. The first day I got Maryland's famous lobster roll. While it was good, the next day I had the scallops and risotto, and this was more tasty to me. The servers all have photos of the food, and it really helped our group to choose. Speaking of service, both times I was impressed by the service. They try to make sure you're comfortable. Sat on the patio the first night, liked the sunshine, didn't care for the flies, not the restaurant's fault, it's just the season. Sat more comfortably inside.

Service was good, and the food delicious. Tomahawk steak was the highlight for our table. The lobster roll wasn't my favorite, but I'm not the biggest lobster fan in the first place - others at the table enjoyed theirs. Would come back for that tomahawk steak for sure.

Wish there was More than 5 stars. The Walrus was outstanding. Went there 3 months ago during a business trip. I love Maryland and love seafood. It has to be one of the top places I've been to.

Sometimes a good meal can go to great with Phenomenal service. That is exactly what happened on our visit. Darnell was awesome. Knew the menu inside and out and had great recommendations on dishes. Only complaint is the space is loud so if you are looking for a quiet experience - this might not be the place

Came here on a quiet weekend. The place was still packed. Had a lovely Sunday brunch with baked oyster rockerfellas clam chowder and a simple omelette. Very hearty good food.

What a beautiful and interesting place! My husband was so interested in going in and I had fun looking around the antique things. The buttons and the charms are what interested me but my husband surprised me by buying me this beautiful necklace.

The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable of the jewelry and metal. I found some really cool charms and pendants. Hope to get back there soon. Good quality.

I live locally and my family is in town visiting. We were walking around before an early dinner and came across a shop that we haven’t seen before so we tried to go in... it was locked. We looked and finally found a small 8” business hours sign that said they closed at 5 p.m. on Sundays. It was 4:49 p.m. so we had 11 minutes to shop. A worker and gentleman came to the door, took the outside sign, dragged it in, and told us “we close at five”, we replied “it’s not five and we wanted to check the place out.” They literally closed the door in our face. They lost a potential customer and another 10 potential future customers who witnessed the poor customer service. There was literally thousands of potential customers in the Harbor that day due to Memorial Day weekend and they closed early. I would be willing to bet that this place won’t be able to afford the rent and will be out of business soon.

Nice store for pewter offerings. They have some excellent stuff.

Good

I got a delicious veggie breakfast sandwich on a Kaiser roll here and the service was great. The bun was soft and chewy and the eggs and veggies were fresh and HOT. The hot sauce was more of a vinegar so I may use more next time. Really enjoyed!

Best place for a fresh sandwich. Little cute market.. super amazing service by Omar everytime I stop in.

Potomac Gourmet Market was an adorable bodega. It has a wide variety in the market including wine, beer, snacks, cheese, deli meats, ice cream, and some fresh produce. Their hot breakfast sandwiches until noon which were delicious! They also have lunch and dinner options. The staff was very kind and helpful. The staff said the market was much more crowded on the weekend mornings than it was on weekdays. Would 100% visit here again!

Great staff with an amazing deli, best breakfast option on the national harbor. Walking distance from the Gaylord and other resorts in area.

On my trip to DC with my family, we went here for breakfast, and the food was delightful. The workers are so kind, always starting our days with positivity. I appreciate it so much, and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting DC.

Stay away!!!!! I ordered a buttered roll…..was asked if I would like a Kaiser roll…..and toasted, said no thank you just buttered please Got an eye roll from the older male clerk……maybe that isn’t something that is ordered in Maryland Had to pay extra for the butter that was supposed to be included. Got a dry hamburger bun……doesn’t look like Kaiser roll to me!!!! Stay away!!!!! Terrible

If you’re looking for alcohol or ramen you will have a vast selection. For anything else it’s likely hit and miss as many of the grocery shelves were bare.

First time here and coming from a man who’s used to having amazing pizza in NY/NJ this was surprisingly amazing. I had the truffle mushroom with meatball and man, it was so good you need a dipping sauce for the crust. With every bite it just takes you to a happy place of chill and relaxation and Angie the bartender was so cool and helpful with my selection and made me feel at home. I will definitely come back next time I’m near here

Visiting DC for the weekend and we were staying at the Gaylord. This is walking distance from the hotel, beautiful location. We came for lunch and ordered the fire mozzarella balls, garlic bread, hot honey pizza and pepperoni pizza. The mozzarella was bomb! The order came with 5 and some dipping marinara sauce. The bread was okay. I wasn’t expecting it to be just bread with seasonings on top. Kind of tasted like nothing if it weren’t for the marinara sauce. The pizzas were yummy. Hot honey pizza isn’t super spicy but has a little kick to it. Overall, it was a great lunch. It wasn’t as busy when we went so there was no wait time.

The location is perfect, service was decent given that we went on a Friday afternoon for happy hour. We loved that it was family friendly. The food fell a bit short for us personally. The old bay wings were just okay, a little too salty. The cheesesteak was dry and the fries were way beyond crispy, would not recommend, definitely not worth the $30 price. The pizza however was delicious and the best thing we had. I would return for that!! The drinks were also just okay, we had two buckets and while aesthetically pleasing I wouldn’t get it again, you’re drinking mostly syrup or whatever they use for their flavor versus actual liquor etc.

Fiorella Italian Kitchen at National Harbor is such a lovely spot, perfectly located right near the waterfront and the heart of downtown. You even get the view of the giant Capitol Wheel nearby, which makes the setting even more special. We tried several items and loved the food: • Garlic bread – soft, plump, and delicious. • Coconut mojito cocktail & mango lemonade – both refreshing and well-balanced. • Cheese Alfredo pasta and fettuccine – creamy and flavorful. • Veg Supreme pizza – baked perfectly with fresh toppings. Everything tasted really good and the portions were satisfying. It is on the pricier side, but the quality and the whole experience make it worthwhile. The ambience and aura really stood out – with flowers, cozy Italian décor, and a lively yet relaxing vibe, it almost felt like being in Italy. A perfect place to enjoy a nice evening with friends or family. Would definitely recommend if you’re at National Harbor and looking for authentic Italian flavors in a beautiful setting!

Popped into Fiorella’s Pizza at National Harbor for happy hour and it was such a win! 🍕✨ They offer half-off apps and any pizza, which is already a steal. I sipped on a crisp Riesling for only $7—the perfect match for the evening. The food was fresh and flavorful, service was warm and attentive, and with the perfect weather, it all came together for an amazing experience. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to! #FiorellasPizza #NationalHarbor #HappyHour #DMVFoodie #GoodEats #PizzaLovers #HappyHourDeals #PerfectEvening

The seafood pasta is good so was the beer. The sauce was properly seasoned. Service was good, and the outdoor space was really nice. I will come back when I am in the area again.

My food, which was a open faced lasagna. Came out burnt and cold. Waiter was hard to get for water refills. To go boxes and check. Was a overall disappointing dinner. Atmosphere was great though.

Let me start by saying the lobster rolls were very good! The bread was toasted just right. Not too crunchy. The lobster and butter tasty! I’m not going to complain about the price because it’s a tourist attraction of course its pricey. Since we came on an early Sunday afternoon it wasn’t busy yet either so that was good as well! I feel like staff wasn’t too welcoming. I know it being a tourist attraction area it can be draining at times but it was early, the day still didn’t get busy to have a so/so demeanor. Even though it was cold we sat outside.

Being near the water, I was craving for a good quick seafood and decided to try the lobster roll. The small restaurant was quiet when I visited at 4:30pm. The service was very fast. The restaurant has tables inside but I opted to enjoy the roll on the beach. Classic lobster roll: good. The bread was soft, fluffy, and buttery. It did have lots of lobster meat and the meat was perfectly cooked & soft (not gummy nor chewy). I wish that they put more sauce on the roll.

Solid across the board: food, service, and atmosphere all hit the mark, though nothing stood out as exceptional. The lobster bisque was enjoyable after adding lobster meat; without it, the flavor would’ve been underwhelming. The lobster roll was nicely toasted and had a decent amount of meat, but again, nothing particularly memorable. A reliable spot, but not one that’ll blow you away.

The lobster rolls are amazing! I ordered the Connecticut roll and lobster salad rolls with no lettuce. The flavor was incredible and the service was great. Definitely coming back. It was worth the price!

Lobster roll was delicious. The combo meal is a great deal, for $30 you get a lobster roll side and drink. I’ve had lobster rolls in cape cod but honestly this lobster roll is now up there in my favorites. The sauce and mayo wasn’t too heavy on the classic roll and the meat tasted very good. Tater tots were crispy and soft in the inside. Would recommend trying it if you’re into seafood and want some nice comfort food.

I love lobster, but I don't love a lobster roll. Mainly because it is cold. I wish lobster rolls had warm lobster inside, but anyway, I tried Masons for the first time and it was as good as any. Actually probably better than other lobster rolls I've had, even though the lobster was cold on what was called the Connecticut roll with warm butter. I would get it again.

Nicole was an awesome person to guide our experience. She helped pick hat she thought I’d want and made a great experience. My first bite I was shocked at how delicious my lobster roll was. Could not recommend more:

The location is absolutely unbeatable! Specially the outdoors deck. The food and drinks were good. The Salmon was absolutely the best! It’s crazy that they have a huge section of outdoor seating but no umbrellas at all. It’s a bit of surprise and lack of facilities management. But food is good. Drink is good. People we met there were so good! A couple updates: their website menu is outdated. No more happy hour menu. No parking space. All paid street and garage parking.

Chips and salsa are great! Queso is $13 has a little kick but good! Chicken tacos are delicious! Cool place to eat!

The interior was extremely overcrowded, we were fortunate enough to get seating outside, although the outdoor area was quite small. While our waitress was courteous, the overall service was notably slow, with a long wait for our food. Unfortunately, the dishes lacked flavor and the portion sizes were disappointing particularly the tacos and empanadas. In summary, I found the establishment to be both overrated and overpriced.

Rosa Mexicano has a great vibe, and the staff is incredibly friendly. The location is definitely the best part—right in the heart of everything. However, the experience fell a bit short. The AC wasn’t working (in the middle of summer), which made it uncomfortably hot inside. We waited around 30 minutes for our food, and while some dishes were okay, others didn’t quite meet expectations. The ceviche had more lettuce than fish, and for the price, it didn’t feel worth it. The corn was tasty, and the kids’ meals were just decent. Overall, it has potential, but there’s room for improvement. Oh! I almost forgot, the michelada was more than spectacular!!!

Our experience was horrible. Our server was not attentive, she basically ignored us. It was so bad, her coworker took over the table. The empanadas were burnt, and bland. The ceviche is brought in a martini glass, with all of the lime at the bottom. But, it’s no where near enough lime to say it’s ceviche. It was dry, and WARM. The food was horrible! Maybe I would’ve enjoyed more of our server cared to take care of us and not her friends at the bar! Save your money

Visiting D.C. for the long weekend. Rosa is walking distance from our hotel located in the heart of the National Harbor restaurants and shops. It was our first time. The food was good for a Mexican restaurant in a high tourist location. The tableside guacamole was very good. I ordered the mole half chicken specialty dish, and the flavor of the mole was very good with the sauted spinach and rice. The dish included sweet plantains, which I thought complimented the spinach. My husband ordered the steak tacos and enjoyed it. The restaurant does have a children's menu, which was a good size portion for my girls. The food overall was good. The service during this visit was not excellent but not awful. The hostess from our initial arrival was not friendly, but she did what she needed to do - no smiles or salutations. The server similar. He simply did what was needed and just going through the motions. The tableside guac person same. Everyone could have just been tired and busy and it showed. We enjoy Mexican food and often try different places. Rosa's is average.

Unfortunately food was served too cold. Food portions are very small. No sharable appetizers. My molcajete fajita was ok but extremely cold. We asked for a double size guacamole medium spice and as you can see in the picture the plate was big but half empty. Usually, other restaurants prepare the guacamole in front of you so you can ask for tomatoes, onions, cilantro, etc., to be added but they did not do it. Additionally no lemon and no spice at all. I end up asking for lemon and jalapeños to fix it. The salmon ceviche was served in a tiny cup so poor presentation. The vegetarian ceviche was better. Mocktails were good. Good customer service but could be more attentive. The server was training someone else so I guess this may affect the time to bring the food and because of this, it was served cold. National Harbor has so many dinning options thus, I do not think I will return.

It was an amazing experience, the restaurant was just perfect in every thing (food, services, atmosphere). The stuff is so friendly and very good food servant. The Shrimp Briany, better chicken and nan bread were all really tasty and delicious. Over and above, the food is Halal which a plus credit for them. I would definitely revisit the restaurant again. Highly recommended, and Im gonna rate the restaurant with five stars high rating. Well deserved!

The food was incredible, the ambience was perfect, and everything felt so well-coordinated. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the entire restaurant was spotless. We ordered the chicken Manchurian and the biryani - both delicious. A truly enjoyable dining experience from start to finish — highly recommended!

An amazing experience! This cozy Indian restaurant impressed us not only with its flavorful food but also with the warm and genuine hospitality of the owner. Everything was fresh, perfectly spiced, and clearly made with care. The owner treated us like guests in his own home, checking in personally to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. It wasn’t just a meal — it was an experience. Highly recommend to anyone looking for authentic taste and heartfelt service! 🙌🍽️🇮🇳

The chicken fried rice is the best! As someone from Vietnam, I didn’t expect to love this dish so much, but I was pleasantly surprised. I’m trying my best to finish it all (LOL). Highly recommended if you’re in the area and love flavorful, satisfying food. Definitely coming back for more!

Driving back to Philly from Myrtle beach, me and a friend stopped by national harbor to stretch our legs. While we were walking around we stumbled onto this restaurant, I can actually say this is probably the first time I had curry. The food was delicious, the butter chicken, couldn’t get enough of it! We had 2 curry both great, with naan and roti. The naan and the roti came out the same way. Me and my friend was this is definitely can’t be naan, we get naan in Chinatown in Philly often. It was still good but not what we expected. I also had a chia tea, so so. Since it was the middle of the day during the week it wasn’t very busy. The atmosphere is big, bright, colorful and an open floor space. Service was good,

Disappointment right from the onset. The host seemed almost burdened when we said we were a group of 10. Disinterested servers, maybe understaffed at around 7pm on a weeknight? I had to walk up, and get a jug of water to serve our table. (Didn't complain at the time, just helped ourselves, as it might not have been the servers fault.) Indian fare was average. Got the hakka noodles to go after our meal since it's something I try at every place I see it available and i can't recall a time when I was as sceptical, and I have eaten from some of the shadier streets of Bombay at some street carts that many may call questionable. . A huge disappointment to anything Bombay. Positives!! The bhelpuri, vadapav and pav bhaji. The decor

Ordered takeout from here because the Barracks Row location wasn’t available. There’s garlic smelled, looked, and tasted burned and dry with very little garlic flavor. It would have only taken a few minutes to throw this out and redo with fresh naan. After taking a bite, I also found hair in my dish. Inexcusable. I got chicken hyderabadi and chicken tikki masala which were okay.

Ok first of all 1 scoop of extra smoked brisket is $7.30c and it’s very salty it’s most over priced salted chipotle I ever had not happy. Staff is kinda not welcoming soon is I paid she just pushed food like I she mad at me I just pick my food left I’m not coming back this location again!!

What a great location for a restaurant that cares very little about the customer. This was our first time at chipotle Everything we ordered was cold I asked if the sauce was spicy was told no and was so hot I couldn’t eat it. I can handle spice but this was way too much. We had ordered a kids meal and had to ask for the drink and chips the cashier said I didn’t know you wanted them Should have to ask it’s what we ordered the drink station was a mess and all the lemonade dispenser were empty and when I told them I got attitude. A restaurant with such low standards should not allowed to operate in such a beautiful tourist location. Complete waste of money

I will never order from this store ever again! I ordered a simple burrito to go, how hard can that be? I only live 5 minutes away, yet by the time I got home just about everything was cold…the burrito wrap, the meat, the rice…the only thing that was reasonably medium warm was the refried beans! $13 bucks for me to have to reheat everything when I get home…this is disappointing and unacceptable!

Literally ordered my chipotle bowl from uber at this store and got not even half the bowl. This is ridiculous for paying 15.00 for just the bowl itself not including the close out price after the bag was totaled. Tried contacting support there and Uber - both were not able to assist. Stay away from this store for online orders!

I will never buy from here again nasty rice was hard and uncooked I need my refund

This was my fist time eating Chipotle, using Doordash for delivery as I am in a hotel with no vehicle. The food came quickly but was cold! I'd gotten a chicken burrito bowl and there was hardly any chicken in it! Also there were no napkins or silverware, you would think delivery would be like drive thru and those things would be an essential add in! Crazy how guacamole, queso, and chips cost extra! Their competitor (in the midwest) does NOT charge extra for those things! Won't eat at a Chipotle again!

This is a nice Chipotle location to visit while enjoying a walk on the national harbor, the food is great and full of flavor as usual and the servers are kind , if you kindly ask slightly more rice they will give you some. They are very generous as they know its a busy location. There are plenty of space to sit too.

Nice experience! Very smooth ride, pleasant staff, and a fun picture! We went in early afternoon, so there was no wait. The cars are cooled and the seats are comfortable, nice padding. Our operator was funny and informative! I would imagine riding at night would be incredible!

I was really disappointed with this ride. It was a weekday so no people there except us. No line no wait time. I saw some people coming, taking pictures and leave. Still i was hopeful to try it out. The amount of time you are up that's reasonable but I didn't find it to be amazing. No amazing view whatsoever. Its just some water n buildings that's it. When I was in myrtle Beach ⛱️ I took a similar wheel ride n the views were mesmerizing. I know its not a beach here but still. What really pissed me off that after the ride I saw an advertisement on board that says there is a package of $35 for 2 people and you get a digital photo too. But i paid $40 for the ride and $5 for parking and I wasn't even notified about this. They should've told me about this if there is something available like it.

We decided to end our trip with the Ferris Wheel at National Harbor, and it was such a fun choice! Tickets were easy to get, and our Uber ride from Arlington dropped us off so conveniently that we could just walk right down. We only waited about 15 minutes before boarding. The gondolas are spacious, air-conditioned, and very clean. It was the perfect, relaxing way to wrap up our visit. We were there on a Thursday night (end of August) and there was a movie playing off the pier. Very cool!

Unbelievable excitement. I went for my birthday. Friends cannot believe I took the ride alone. The view is amazing. It will be more than you expect so get ready. There is a point where you see nothing but the Potomac. At night it's so beautiful. They are really good with the safety procedures. The area has a bar it's close to restaurants and "the Great Awakening". Take the ride!❤️

I finally took a ride on The Capital Wheel @ National Harbor in Oxon Hill, MD a few weeks ago and I’m so glad that I finally got to check this off of my list! It was fun! Tickets were easy to get online. I purchased a package that included a photo, which I recommend to commemorate the experience. It is a nice keepsake. National Harbor has several parking garages within a fairly short walking distance, which is convenient. There was no long line even though we went on a Sunday during the day. We only waited a few minutes before we were able to board the car. The staff was nice and friendly and helpful making sure that we got into the car safely and enjoyed our ride. Once inside the wheel car, it felt like our own little world. I admit although I’m not terribly afraid of heights, under certain circumstances, my stomach did a little loop as we approached the top, but once we did it a few times, I was fine. I think we went around at least 5-6 times, maybe even more. It felt like about a 20 min ride or so and one that I would definitely do again, particularly at night just to see the view from a different perspective. If you’re in the National Harbor and have some time and don’t mind heights, definitely that a spin on The Capital Wheel. They even have a bar and lounge area on the dock underneath the wheel if you want to grab a drink or quick snack. The menu limited. There are plenty of restaurants and places to eat in walking distance for a more substantial meal. It was so cool to see the waterfront and area from above. It definitely gives you a sense of floating in the sky just for a little while.

My kiddos and I absolutely enjoyed ourselves on the Capital Wheel! Not only are the staff kind and happy to help, the pods were air conditioned, cold drinks were up for sale should you want to sip a beverage while you soak in the views over the harbor. We had no wait time, spent $55 bucks for myself and two children. We were able to purchase our tickets and head up the ramp to ride! The experience was worth the price. We watched as a few boats sailed by, planes in the sky, it moved at a slow pace but not to the point where it was too slow. The entire ride lasted about 12-13 minutes. When it ended the kids and I were like “Nooooooo” lol it was a cool experience. We went later afternoon, on a weekday. I highly recommend you experience The Capital Wheel! Also, lots of walkable bites nearby, and ice cream!

“I had a great time at the Capital Wheel! There is a wide variety of restaurants to choose from for dining. The waterside views and the wheel itself were fantastic—I ended up enjoying about three or four rounds (lost count!). There’s also a playground and a live band on Sundays, making it a perfect spot to spend a few hours outdoors without having to travel far. Highly recommend it!"

We loved to visit it on winter even when it was cold. The place is beautiful, not crowd and many good restaurants in the area. Easy to walk around with children and enjoy it.

Very cool art piece, one of my favorites I have seen. It always gives me a feeling of a struggle, as the giant either rises or sinks into the sand. Great playground for the kids.

Location: I loved the first time I was here, so I decided to come back since I was in the area. The Awakening sculpture is located right in National Harbor of Fort Washington / Oxon Hill MD area. Area: This place is an amazing spot to hang out during a Saturday or Sunday afternoon with family and kids. In the center, there is sand available for the children to play. The scenery is nice, next to the Potomac River, boats, the Capital Ferris wheel, stores and restaurants. Perfect place for photos and photo shoots, I saw many people taking pictures of their special event here. Buy: There are many stores, restaurants, and food trailers that are easily accessible to everyone. Parking: Parking wasn't too bad the first time but this second time: it was horrendous! I understand because it is a pretty spot for family and kids to spend time doing a little bit of everything but I wish there was more accessible parking for everyone. Walking is definitely required depending on which parking garage you parked at.

My husband was active duty for over a year in Washington DC. so we all decided to look for family friendly and free is a must. It was a very nice and creative sculpture. A nice/good place to stop by to take pictures. Then after you check out the sculpture there are a lot of good restaurants to choose from. We had a great time here.

This guy was awesome! It's a VERY small sanded area between piers. It's great for some pics and perhaps a lunch in the area but we were there early am. If you're passing through and just want to kill some time I suggest it. There's also a ferris wheel at the end of the pier. National Harbor is pretty cool with all the bronze statues of many pioneering Americans.

I love it here. From my childhood memories when it was located at Haines Point (SW, WDC), to ours move to National Harbor (Oxon Hill, Md), it had been calming and peaceful. Please visit to see for yourself.

I have always loved this statue, but this was my first visit to its new location at the national harbor. Such a cool little setup. Easy to park, lots of amazing statues of historical leaders and iconic moments in history. Really enjoyed it with my kids!

Okay so this was my first time at Grace’s during lunch. It wasn’t packed, but it was far from empty. The food came out fast however, I was not impressed by the seasoning. I ordered Singapore noodles with curry and the curry was very faint. My friends ordered other things that were also dull to taste. Once I added soy sauce, it was better. I have been to Grace’s for dinner and had a complete different experience when it came down to the taste of the food. Maybe it was not a good day.

Graces is an amazing restaurant to dine at if you like Asian Cuisine. They have noodles, rice, sushi and great apps. Drink Menu is nice and has something for every budget. Staff is very friendly. Food was fresh and tasty and came out fast. Would give 5 stars but all dishes came without dipping sauce and soy sauce was not readily on the table. Average meal cost is $30. Add a drink and it will be $50. Also, 18% gratuity is automatic. My party was only 2 and they still charged it.

Phenomenal service and food. My son had just got engaged and we wanted to celebrate. Graces was perfect. What a great and relaxing atmosphere. Food was tasty and water was amazing. Thank you for helping us and our son and his fiance have a wonderful dinner. ❤️

The atmosphere and the service were both excellent. I enjoyed seeing all of the artwork and decor throughout the restaurant. The staff was attentive, without being over the top. The menu has some nice variety of American Chinese food as well as other Asian fusion fare. The portion sizes are decent for the price. There was also a nice selection of vegetarian and dairy free options. The drink menu is interesting and also includes alcohol free options. They don't seem to take reservations, but we never had a problem getting seats. The place is vast.

Only my second time here and it didn’t disappoint! I tried the Cantonese tiger beef and it was so flavorful and the portion was great, had enough to save for dinner later. The atmosphere inside is absolutely beautiful. It is a bit on the expensive side but totally worth it for special occasions (happy birthday to me)! I highly recommend!

Haven't been here in some time and it didn't disappoint. The staff is always immersed in the atmosphere, prebussing the table the moment a dish is finished and always ready with a recommendation! Oh and they have a mini couch for any purse or bag.

The mandarin chicken was to die for. Mya son got it and I wish I had. Mine was delish also, the soba noodles with beef. The crab Rangoon=fabulous💋The decor and ambience is very cool. 10/10 would recommend.

There's no food offered at Pose Rooftop. Friend's explained that there are food options within the resort that you are allowed to bring with you to the lounge. Nice views and great space but really for large parties as there wasn't a lot of people to contend with for space.

An unfortunate disappointment, rooftop bar, 80s decor, all the things you need are there, but there's no specialty menus, no cool cocktails, and the decor is a bit half baked. If you're going to charge $20/ drink at least set the arcade machines to be free! There's nothing up here up you can't easily get at the lobby bar.

80s theme rooftop bar/lounge was a good time. The atmosphere was great and definitely reminded me of all things 80s. The music and drinks were great also. They had some retro games as well that were a lot of fun. The view from the outside was beautiful.

This place has a neat theme and seems popular, but not too crowded. Seating is limited. The milkshakes are GREAT and the sig cocktails are fun. It was a nice stop during date night. The main disappointment is the arcade - each costs a dollar to play and there is no change machine. If you want to encourage people to hang out, drink, and play in an 80s themed bar, then maybe make the games a quarter, have a change machine. More seating too.

A group of us gathered to celebrate our lifelong friends' birthday. We had a magnificent time out on the rooftop of Reply inside the Gaylord at the MGM National Harbor. We only enjoyed their drinks. Unfortunately, I can not report about the food. Next time, I will try the food so I can provide an honest review.

Beautiful venue with gorgeous views of the Potomac River! The manager Jarell & his team were professional and attentive to our every need. I will have event there again 😉.

Came to this bar while staying at the resort. Loved the theme of the lounge. Drinks were definitely on point and DJ for the night was great too. Would definitely recommend if you are staying at the resort and want the nightclub feel without traveling too far out into town.

Perfect paved path for running, walking, cycling. Dogs welcome. Great views, wild life. You may get lucky and see an eagle flying overhead. Seagulls are drawn to plastic bags so don’t bring plastic.

So beautiful. ❤️

Took a run while traveling and this trail was a great out and back to National Harbor. Went over the Eisenhower Bridge and boarded the Potomac. Had a great view of the setting sun.

Cool views of the Potomac and downtown DC in the distance. Be sure to bring hearing protection because the Woodrow Wilson Bridge trail is loud, The trail is adjacent to the roadway.

Never fails, I go there after being told I have to stop because of Heath reasons, didn't even make it to the bridge physically, but the never failing scenery... But the the scenery, made the physical unnecessary

Lots of walking and biking trails in the national harbor area. Trails to mgm casino, national harbor and Alexandria across the Woodrow Wilson bridge

It's beautiful outside at this time of year but the views here are always amazing!

Nice views and delicious food! Has both indoor and outdoor seating. We had grilled chicken on a Thai peanut salad, a steak salad with Bleu cheese and bacon, and our son had macaroni and cheese. Originally wanted outdoor seating but due to a 30 minute wait asked to switch to indoor seating. What you can't see from the front of the restaurant is the whole back wall of the restaurant is glass with lovely views of the Potomac river, Capitol Wheel, and marina. Our service was good. Our waitress was helpful with my son's food allergies and kept our drinks full. Highly recommend.

This was my second visit to Redstone American Grill over the years, and this time we came on a holiday. Surprisingly, they were able to seat our family of six without a long wait that was a big plus! Our waitress was friendly and attentive, which made the experience more enjoyable. We ordered several appetizers: the spicy shrimp, spicy calamari, steak egg rolls, and the buffalo fried wings — all of which were good. The wings were definitely the crowd favorite! I had the steak salad which was just ok. The kids ordered the chicken tenders with truffle fries, but unfortunately, none of them touched their tenders. They looked a bit off, and the texture wasn’t appealing — definitely a miss, which was a bummer for the little ones. The seating was great — we had a lovely view overlooking the water, which really elevated the ambiance of our meal. Their meal presentation is also great! Overall, while the experience had its high points, there’s definitely room for improvement in the food quality. If Redstone could take their dishes from “sometimes good” to consistently great, it would really elevate the dining experience.

Great location, food and drinks. Easy to make reservations. Waitress was amazing. We had the crab cakes, calamari, and the house salad. However our favorite was the corn bread skillet- you have to get it. I would eat here again. 5 🌟

We sat in the outside dining area and there was a fight outside about 20 feet away, and later a (presumably) mentally unwell woman half undressed shouting expletives. Fun. I ordered the ribs which were overcooked by had a decent flavor. My wife had the Brussels Sprouts which she said were decently prepared. The jumbo shrimp with buffalo sauce and Bleu cheese appetizer sounded good in theory, but as I found out, is a really bizarre combination. There's not a ton of good places to eat down at the National Harbor. This is not the worst, but that doesn't make it good.

I went to eat here with my family we’re out of state visiting MD. It was happy hour according to this places website, we told our hostess that’s why we were there. Come to find out you can only get happy hour (which it was advertised online as 3PM-7PM) BUT, you have to sit at the bar/inside booths. I was only informed of this after 20-30 mins of sitting at a table outside party of four it was 5:30PM at this point. The manager made a big deal about it and so we moved inside because we were starving. Service sucked and thus the atmosphere around us didn’t even matter because the managers service was not good. The food was the only saving grace but I wouldn’t recommend going a second time.

Everything was awesome Couldn't be more pleased and the chicken plate I had phenomenal. The dishes my friends had phenomenal. Atmosphere was fantastic and the bathrooms were spotless. Very good experience while being affordable.

When I walked in, I was greeted by the most amazing hostess Aissatta! She was friendly, conversational, and welcoming! She really set the tone for the night. And the tone continued to be great with great service and food! The Braised short ribs were absolutely amazing! This will be a restaurant I come to often!

My experience at Bond45 was not what I was expecting based on reviews. I came to have my birthday dinner with my family and enjoyed relatively nothing about my time. The food (pictures are attached) was not reflective of their menu descriptions. The mumbo wings, not accurate to the menu description, tasted like sweet chili, the crostini was overpriced, and the calamari was lukewarm at best. Then my entree, what they call a smash burger, was just a regular cheeseburger. Outside of the food, the ambiance of the restaurant was lackluster in my opinion. While eating I noticed what appeared to be a bullet hole in the window above us (picture attached). The surfaces around the window seal were dusty and the a/c unit was held together with packing tape. Our server, Lotfi, was not rude, but he wasn't as welcoming as I think he could have been. He was not attentive at all and after we paid, Lotfi walked back to the table and repeatedly looked at the receipt and then at my family member. I'm not sure as to the reasoning behind his action, but it was the icing on the cake as to why I would not come back to the restaurant, nor would I recommend it to anyone.

Yesterday, I celebrated my 39th birthday with my family at Bond 45 at the National Harbor and it was nothing short of extraordinary. The day before, I began calling around to different restaurants to ensure they were both kid-friendly and accommodating to children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). As parents of a son on the spectrum, we’ve come to understand that not every place is equipped or willing to meet our son’s unique needs. When I called Bond 45, I had the pleasure of speaking with John, the general manager. I explained our situation and asked whether they had outdoor seating, preferably at the front or back of the restaurant, to help minimize sensory overload. I also shared that my son’s stimming can sometimes be a bit loud and asked whether the restaurant was child-friendly. John, without hesitation, responded, “The only thing in our policy is that we treat every guest like family.” And that’s exactly what they did. Before we ended our call, John told me that on my birthday, my fiancé, our son, and I would be dining in a private room with a view, complete with a complimentary bottle of champagne to celebrate. I was moved to tears. His offer went far beyond anything I could have expected. He even said, “Your son is our son, and he’ll be treated as such.” Arriving at Bond 45 on my birthday, we were greeted with a smile from the host at the front and immediately welcomed by John. He poured two glasses of champagne and told us to follow him, then walked us toward an officer who was there to take our little one for a ride in his cruiser! My mouth was on the floor! Once we got to the private dining room, we met our server Lotfi, who was AMAZING, to say the least. Lotfi greeted us and instantly made us feel like family. John let us know that he was so happy to have us and that we would be starting our five-course meal. I CRIED AGAIN. Lotfi came out with our son’s food and appetizers so fast! There was so much food, and EVERYTHING WE ATE WAS DELICIOUS! Around the third course, John brought in Derrick, who is the GM for the Ferris wheel and after dinner, we would be going on a VIP ride on the Capitol Wheel. I CRIED AGAIN! Who knew there was VIP seating on the Ferris wheel? Not me! After dinner, we took a few pictures & headed to the Wheel to end our amazing evening. Bond 45 is now family. The hospitality, the food, the love, the atmosphere -ALL 10/10. Thank you again a million times for this wonderful experience and for making my family feel so welcomed. Your kindness is rare and so gratefully appreciated.

A top choice for a visit to the harbor! Literally from the ambiance to the service, views of the wharf and live entertainment to the food and cocktails - Kevin was so knowledgeable and helpful when it came to menu recommendations. My mom and I visited for an early seafood dinner. We ordered the pear salad to start (which was phenomenal) with a Bianca Sangria and White Peach Margarita. For dinner, we had lobster ravioli, the crab cake & shrimp and shared broccolini and lobster mac & cheese. They brought out the lobster mashed potatoes instead but quickly corrected the mistake, and we had an extra comp'd side. Overall - this visit left a great impression. I hope to return during their 4-6 happy hour and check out what that vibe is like.

A charming spot with a vintage Italian rustic vibe — warm, cozy, and inviting. From the old-world ambiance to the attentive service, this restaurant captures that “gather with family” feeling. The views of the harbor add a lovely touch, and the wine list complements the experience perfectly. We started with the calamari — crisp and golden, paired with a creamy dipping sauce that hit the mark. I had the salmon with fries, and the lobster mac & cheese, which was cheesy and indulgent. The red wine I tried was smooth and paired well with everything. Service was friendly and kind of slow, but during a busy season it was understandable. Overall, it was a wonderful evening that left my husband and I impressed. Still, I’d happilycome back to soak in more of that rustic Italian atmosphere and great food. Food: 4 | Service: 4 | Atmosphere: 4

We had the arancini, and they were good but room temperature. I had the salmon, and it was good but again room temperature. My husband had the truffle mushroom pasta alfredo, and it was good as well. Service - while friendly - was slow. Full bar available.

What an unforgettable experience! Bond 45 truly exceeded all expectations. From the initial planning phase with Manager Catrell, General Manager John, and the Executive Chef, every detail was thoughtfully coordinated and executed to perfection. On the day of the event, we were welcomed by an exceptional team of servers and bartenders whose attentiveness and professionalism reflected top-tier, five-star service. And the food—absolutely phenomenal! Each dish was bursting with flavor, and the bride couldn’t stop raving about the steak frites, her clear favorite. The ambiance set the perfect tone for the celebration, creating a warm and elegant atmosphere that elevated the entire experience. We couldn’t have chosen a better venue to honor the bride. Thank you, Bond 45, for consistently going above and beyond. You made this occasion truly special.

Pro- the salad had plenty of fresh ingredients that tasted savory and refreshing. The chicken Parmesan was a large portion that was cooked and seasoned well. Con- our server disappeared after the order was taken. Two servers got into a verbal disagreement in front of customers. The manager could see us looking around for server, waved and get his attention and was ignored. Had to go ask for our check to get out of there.

Service was wonderful!! Water was never empty... and we were thirsty... keeping our server busy. The view of the Ferris Wheel made for a great view! The food was just so-so. Salmon was good, but pasta wasn't my favorite. Hamburger was ordered well-done, but was burnt and crunchy. There was an 18% evening gratuity added to our ticket, which we weren't told about. I typically tip more, but with the pre-added gratuity...I left it as is.

Fantastic. Awesome sums it up in one word. The service was over the top. The food was very tasty. I had the crab meat omelette with hollandaise sauce. Incredible. When I told the waitress that I did not want bread, she kindly offered me some fruit, which was very fresh and tasty. An overall fantastic experience.

The waiter was very friendly and responsive. My husband can not eat spicy food, including food with too much black pepper. The waiter gave him a generous sample of the cream of crab soup, which was perfection. We shared a bowl of the soup, and they split it into two bowls for us. The crab cake sandwich was large and loaded with crab meat, and the tartar sauce topped it off to a tee. We will definitely return because we haven't found a great cream of crab soup since the Market Inn closed in SW Washington DC. The view of the water was a plus. Our lunch at Sauciety made our day. We will definitely be back soon!

Listen. I’ve been looking for a really good steak in DC when I visit. I’ve been up in the Navy Yard and visited another restaurant in National Harbor, but none of them could really give me a steak cooked to my liking - they’ve always been cooked longer. We’ll get there. First of all, the Mojito was the biggest one I’ve ever seen (my favorite drink) and was very refreshing. I hope this wasn’t an error because that was a perfect amount lol This Sauciety crab dip was packed full of flavor and the Pita bread and veggies complimented nicely. This 12oz New York Strip was one of the best steaks I’ve had and it was actually cooked medium rare! The cross hatching, sear and Red Wine Demi sauce was incredible. The potatoes and green beans were a really nice touch. I can’t recommend both of these dishes enough and I can’t wait to come back here. I had told my waiter to give my compliments to the chef. The atmosphere was your typical quiet upscale restaurant but I came in a not so busy hour with very little people.

I ordered appetizers - the chicken wings were great and had a crisp chew to it. Everyone enjoyed their dinner. The steak, crab cakes and sandwiches were good . The food came out hot. Phillip and Larry were our waiters - the service was excellent. They were attentive

We had a reservation because we had a large party. Service was great... Attentive, orders were correct. The table agreed that there were four good menu items: the Harbor Cobb, the battered cauliflower, the teriyaki wings, and the ribeye. We were split on the Crab dip (though the accompanying pita was great), the lemon pepper wings were much too salty, The salmon pasta dish and the Reuben lacked flavor. The cheesecake dessert was good. The Key lime pie was not as tart as expected. The creme brulee was okay. Only two cocktails were ordered and they were good. Overall, the location was great with a beautiful view of the water, but for $60 pp we would have preferred that everyone at the table loved their food.

Came here for a late lunch. Sauciety is located in the Westin hotel. We were seated right away. Great view of National Harbor and the Potomac. It wasn't crowded so there was plenty of space. Good food options as well as gluten free and vegan too. Drink menu had a nice variety as well. Everything was tasty and came out quickly. The service was great too. Definitely a good spot to come with friends or family.

**No reservations for parties under 9.*** This place has a lot of rules about seating and reservations. Almost every website that this restaurant pulls up at (Google, Yelp, etc.) there is a place to make a reservation online. I tried this but nothing works, or the website said that there is nothing available. I tried to call, but there is no direct number. I called the hotel, and they eventually got me transferred over. They said that they do not take any reservations for parties under 9. This is first come, first served. When we went down for dinner at about 6:00PM on a Sunday there was a 2 hour wait, although from the outside you could see that the restaurant was only half full. I asked if we could wait at the bar for our table, but they did not have any seats pulled up to the bar. I mean.. what kind of sports bar does not have seating at the bar? They sign people up on the waiting list to get notified via text when their table is ready. My suggestion would be to go down and put your name on the waiting list, then go back to the hotel room to wait. We ended up just going to Brother Jimmy BBQ this first night, which was a much better experience. The second time we attempted to go, was a Tuesday afternoon for lunch. I went down early to get a table and wait for the rest of the people in my party. I said that I needed a table for 3 people, but they refused to seat me at a table until at least 2 people were present. They ended up seating me at a 2-person table and told me I could wait there for the other 2 guests, then move tables once they came. Personally, I don’t think that this makes any sense as the reason I was there was to ensure that we got a table big enough for everyone. The menu does not have much of a selection. There are a few burgers, basic salads, and apitizers. Godfather Burger: This was absolutely delicious. They are generous with the cheese and sauce. The mushrooms were amazing. I did ask for this medium, and it came out medium rare. I would suggest ordering this a bit more cooked than what you want. Chicken Tenders: Nothing special, just typical fried chicken tenders. Very dry and bland.

This place has a cool atmosphere. Definitely a good place to watch sports. As always I am looking for Vegab options. They had one which was the Impossible Burger. It was okay. May have been better if it had vegan cheese. I didn't like the after taste of the burger. The service was nice. The avacado deep was not as fresh as I expected but it was still good once you added salt. My Husband had the onion rings. He said they were good. The fries were good. The waitress pushed it to 4 stars because I was giving it 3 stars for lack of vegan options and just for taste. I may try once more just to see if I will improve the rating. Definitely not worth the price, but good nonetheless.

Many of the reviews of this place confuse me. I had a normal experience where I enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere. If I could give it a 3.5 I would as that is closer to what the restaurant is. If you are attending a conference this place is great for a relatively quick bite or if you are an Avid sports fan because of the televisions. If you are staying at the hotel however, I would probably go elsewhere first and keep this restaurant as a backup.

Ate here a few times during my stay. The wings were the best food out of everything by far but that's not saying much. The nachos were bad, mostly because the salsa was inedible. I thought the "loaded chips" were east coast slang for fries but no, literally plain potato chips with toppings, yuck! If you must go here stick with the wings. Service was hit and miss. One waitress was an absolute sweetheart but another waiter never checked on us and we had to ask 3 times to get our check.

We got right in, as it's a Monday. The restaurant is a little chilly, probably so guests will want to eat faster, before their food gets cold. The food was very delicious, for a sports bar. They are busy, and there are no privacy shields between the tables, because they want you to have a view of all the TV screens. I could have played footsie with the person at the table next to me. If you're an eavesdropper, it's the perfect situation. But the real reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because I ordered a salad with my sandwich and they delivered it with fries.

If you like loud and sports, get a bite here. It has a nicer feel than your typical bar. The place is large and has huge screens all around and is definitely for sports enthusiasts. They have all your standard American offerings, appetizers, salads, sandwiches & typical beer.

Beautiful atmosphere, decent but overpriced drinks, terrible service, terrible steak sandwich. When I walked into this restaraunt, I was mezmorized by the whole vibe. That's the only thing this place had going for itself. The wings were decent but small. Everything else was sub-par to terrible. Would I recommend this place to anyone else? Short answer...NO. My husband on the other hand would recommend it to his enemy.

The event venue is super unique and the food is wonderful, full of style and flavor. The dishes are globally inspired and I tell you it's hard to find a place like this here . A great option for those looking to host an event or just have a good time w good food/drinks here in Arlington. p.s.: I'm a local fan.

My friend and I recently went here for her bday. What a fun atmosphere as I love art, and been wanting to taste their menu items. We went during happy hour, and the food was absolutely excellent! I am not a fan of oysters, but oh my their sauce was so delicious that I ordered more! Everything we ordered other than the vegetable chips were tasty! Customer service was impressive! Would recommend this place and look forward to our next visit to savor different menu items.

We enjoyed dinner and dancing at "Whino". The food was fairly good. Drinks were nice as well. Service was excellent. However..... The part we didn't like was a mandatory 20% gratuity tip that was put on our bill because it was an event. They charged extra to anyone that ordered food but never explained this before we ordered. We were only a party of 2 people which made no sense why we would pay extra just because of the venue. Mind you the venue wasn't free. We paid money just to enter. I felt cheated because they are just bleeding you out for money at this point. I mentioned this to the establishment and they stood by the extra fee. I won't be going back. My rating is 1.5 out of 5.

Very cool place, great location in Ballston, easy parking and very tasty food. Tuna poke: 100/10 Octopus dish: 100/10

My low rating was for the food. Nothing I ate or saw on the menu was amazing, but I’d return for happy hour and the great service! We came here for our team holiday dinner and the servers/atmosphere were great! The food didn’t do it for me, but everyone that works here is super sweet. They went above and beyond to provide us great service, and it was appreciated. We will definitely be back for happy hour!

I have had the pleasure of dining here a few times. It is mostly shareable small plates. The prices aren’t too bad themselves. At night time, there is a DJ who played some really good music. There are also art works to check out. I loved the vibe and the atmosphere here. Taste-wise, the food was good as well. They give you a decent portion so that you can truly share it. I would definitely dine again!

This restaurant was very elegant Lee decorated. There were a bunch of art pieces hung up that were very abstract,modern at the same time. We sat at a round table very comfortably the view was very nice. DJ Gonzo was playing music which really set up the atmosphere vibe my 19-year-old daughter and I enjoyed our brunch date we will be returning because the food was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was very fun and not overly too loud With the music choices and really liked the attention of the waitresses that were walking around checking up on us constantly.

The 50-minute hot stone massage is heaven sent! The spa is very clean, robes come in multiple sizes, the staff is extremely friendly and professional, and the mimosas are delicious!😋 I will DEFINETLY return!

Do not book here! If I could give zero stars I would! I booked a prenatal massage for my pregnant wife , she couldn't make it to the appointment so rescheduled. They still charged us before even getting the service and said that it's only to guarantee your service and assured us that this is the only way to reschedule.. Wife couldn't make it to new appointment we called many times to reschedule and kept getting sent to voicemail with no call back. They charged us gratuity $40 for a service that we never did + the charge of the service. How do we get charged for a service we never got???? The manager avoided us for the longest and when she finally spoke to my wife , said she never spoke to us and would give us a discount for a new service while we didn't even get what we paid for! Absolutely horrible experience , loss of $250 , unresponsive team or management and zero cooperation with a pregnant woman even though its a female based team. Absolutely disappointing!

Gaylord should really be ashamed for hosting such a subpar facility. My husband and I came to Relâche Spa for anniversary massages, and unfortunately, it was one of the most disappointing experiences we’ve ever had, especially for what we paid. There were signs posted everywhere listing a variety of amenities available by request, but several of the items we asked for weren’t even available. Before my massage, my therapist asked if I had any problem areas. I mentioned my shoulders and quads, not realizing that meant the rest of my body would be completely ignored. No attention was given to my hamstrings, calves, glutes, or feet—just my arms, quads, and shoulders. I knew something was off when I was asked to flip over before my lower body was even touched. To make matters worse, the front desk attendant showed zero interest in our feedback. As my husband began speaking, she interrupted by handing us a receipt for nearly $500 before I could even explain my concerns. When I did share, she just looked puzzled and said, “Oh, I’ll let them know.” Based on the other reviews I’ve since read, that seems to be the standard response here. Honestly, I was livid. My husband planned a thoughtful surprise, and the experience was completely underwhelming. For the price we paid, we could have had a far better experience at Massage Envy.

My husband and I enjoyed pedicures with Nerissa. She was fantastic. I would give her and the staff a 5 rating. The reason the spa only gets a 4... because they did not have a hair stylist for a busy Saturday afternoon? I was hoping to have my hair done for the formal we were attending that night, but they had no stylists on duty. #OwlsTweet #BirdLife #worldtraveler #traveler #MeetMrOwl

Absolutely disappointing experience for the amount of money paid. My wife and I typically go to resorts and get massages through the year. Whether somewhere tropical or not, a massage is something that we’re used to. That said, we know the difference between a good massage and a bad one. This one was definitely the worst experience thus far. We are celebrating our anniversary and decided to do a staycation this weekend at the Gaylord at the National Harbor. I Figured we’d finish the experience with something nice for the both of us so massages were on the menu. The facility was nice. Dry and wet saunas and a whirlpool were available but we didn’t bring bathing suits so we decided not to use either. Excited for the massage but afterwards, it left us both asking did we get robbed? I paid for full body massages for both of us but when I asked my wife how was it, she said she just barely massage my back and arms. Didn’t touch my legs, calves or feet. She exposed them but didn’t touch them. I told her about my experience and she was like “Nope. Nothing like that. It wasn’t even as good as the massages in the middle of the mall.” Obviously the folks that walked us back to the dressing rooms knew something was up because when I walked out, they asked how was it. I explained it wasn’t good and they both said, “we heard.” Maybe they were listening when my wife and I were talking about it afterwards or maybe the masseuse were talking about it but they both suggested we tell the folks in the front. I waited for my wife to come out and relay her experience and she was told, “oh, well maybe she (Valessa the “masseuse”) was having an off day”, then processed to shove the receipt in our face. I’ve paid a fifth of the price I spent here and got better results. Note, I wasn’t expecting the best, but I definitely didn’t expect the worse. Complete let down to end our anniversary weekend and the neglect from the front desk associate felt both dismissive and disrespectful. I would definitely suggest getting a massage somewhere else. Save your money, and get better service from anywhere else.

I just visited for my 40th birthday and I would definitely return. Excellent service, calm atmosphere, amazing message treatment, and friendly staff. They got our appointments a little confused but it turned out alright in the end and ultimately, the experience made my birthday amazing!

I had a nice relaxing few hours here following a big business meeting. I enjoyed my Pedicure with Sunny, a treatment with Jessica, and a massage with Lee. Key was also excellent at the front desk. Everyone was lovely. I felt cared for.

I do not recommend this place. There are so many far superior options nearby that put this place to shame. The food was gross. It was all soaked in vinegar. Dripping wet with vinegar. The service was rough. It took several minutes after I seated for service. My drink came with my food, well after I ordered. The waiter never stopped by to check on me. After eating what was edible she finally came by for the check. To her credit, I explained my concerns with the food and they removed it from my bill. But she was not surprised by my feedback. The team working here seem to treat this more like a hangout spot than a business. Everyone was just gathered up chitchatting and ignoring service. AND IT SHOWS in their performance. My meal for 1 was $39 plus fees and tax for a pretty small portion and disappointing meal. Anyways. Go elsewhere. The other negative reviews here are correct. This place is a joke.
