I love coming here for a post work cocktail! Agnes, Aaron, and Salvador always deliver amazing service along with a few laughs! I'm fond of the burger and the fish and chips. The Nashville tenders are a bit oily but still tasty. I plan to try a few more things on the menu!

Went to dinner here with some friends the other night and really loved the food and service. Everyone essentially licked their plates clean of every dish! I would recommend everything we got, which ranged from the brussel sprouts appetizer, steak and fries, salmon, trout, and the bread pudding for desert. On top of the food, the service was great. Our server was incredibly nice and helpful when ordering. Overall, I will be returning and would highly recommend.

The food was great, but the service was awful. We had ask the waitress multiple times for our drinks (sprite and coke). Then when we got our drinks our food came out at the same time. Then I had to get up and ask for condiments after waiting for 30 mins for the waitress to come back.

The food is always great, and portions are usually on the generous side. I have enjoyed the Alfredo, chicken and waffles, and the nachos. They also have cute decorations for different holidays and seasons!

I picked a random restaurant in the wharf with high reviews. I wish I would've read the reviews first. All of the negative reviews about service are true. The kitchen is sloowwww. We waited forever for our check afterwards too. The meal was expensive. Way more than $$. For that price, there are many better restaurants in the area. Food was meh. Small portions. Nothing exciting.

My girl friends and I went to lunch today to celebrate a friend's birthday. We went to the DC Wharf location. The food was outstanding and the service (provided by Sheri) was top notch. I highly recommend going there. Sheri is great, lots of fun, makes you feel welcome. Sheri brought a delicious bread pudding for the birthday girl. It was to die for! We really enjoyed ourselves.

We had to wait a very long time for our food and it appears other tables did as well. Our server was very nice but did not check in much when it came to the status of our food that took about an hour to come out.

My friends and I had brunch on Saturday March, 9th 2024 at 12:15p. We made the reservation that morning so that’s was great. The atmosphere was amazing. The bathroom was tidy.Our server was Nate and he was wonderful. We ordered monkey bread for the table, which was the best thing we had. The rest of the food, subpar. Three of us got the maker’s scramble and it was okay. The other one got the makers union breakfast, she said it was okay as well, the biscuit was very hard. Overall, it was an okay experience. We will visit again and try different items.

A decent food option at the Wharf with options for appetizers, grain bowls, and main dishes. I have visited this location twice and had a good time each visit (Saturday nights before shows/events). It is always crowded, so highly recommend making a reservation or being open to grabbing a seat at their bar. The food is a little bit pricier than expected, but there are some more budget friendly options. Funny enough my favorite dish is the Caesar salad. IDK what it is about theirs but it looks and tastes good! For drinks I don't really have a favorite. They are all VERY sugary so I wouldn't order another one of their menu cocktails. MU isn't my first choice at the Wharf but it's a solid option if you're looking for American food.
