It is a hotel bar where you can order something to sit quietly or in the evening when you retire to your room. They cook for you quickly and you have more drinks at your disposal. It deserves a

Our waitress Sumlyn was a doll. Definitely would go back. Food & Drink were good as well! Cute vibe.

Skip this place! The food was nothing to write home about. But more importantly, the restaurant is, at the end of the day, just a hotel restaurant. The service was absolutely awful; we had to ask for service multiple times, even just to place our orders. And the actual place looks nothing like the pictures. There are so many other/better places within walking distance so this is a definite skip.

Very professional and personable staff. We had the pleasure of having our Mother's 80th dinner here, and we were well accommodated. Both food and drinks were above par. If you're staying down at the National Harbor, make sure to drop in to this quaint bar, which not only offers a great Happy Hour, beautiful view of the water, and wonderful service.

Phenomenal service. The food was simply… food. Normally a 3-star experience wouldn’t merit a 3-star review- average places are by definition unremarkable, and this establishment is unremarkable. The food is passable, if a little underwhelming on portion sizing. The buttermilk chicken sandwich has a 4:1 bread to chicken ratio and is rather dry- but again, this would be unremarkable normally. Average. Utilitarian.The establishment merits a review as a warning- the “cheesecake brule” (aka, the cheesecake brulee) was not a brulee. It was a caramel cheesecake. It was a standard, off-the-shelf Costco-esque cheesecake with a smattering of caramel sauce from a bottle. The cake was a lie.

Made a reservation, got there, no hostess. The sign said wait to be seated. Waited for the rest of my party for 30 min. No host appeared. I went to the bar to talk to the server and was told to wait for the hostess. 15 min later, no hostess. So my party and I left.

Sub par hotel restaurant. Multiple items on the menu were not available. Server forgot my drink, but was very nice. My salad wasn’t edible, multiple brown pieces and brown avocado. The steak pieces on the salad were paper thin strips. Honestly fast food was better is better than this. The reviews seemed good which is why we made a reservation, but after eating here I’m blown away this restaurant has more than 2 stars.

Beautiful and comfortable place

If you are coming from out of town and unfamiliar with the area, know that this is a hotel restaurant. It’s not a “real” restaurant. I made a reservation for 6 people, days in advance, and we were given two small round tables pushed together instead of a proper table that would seat 6. (Which is fine if we are walking in but not if I’m making an effort to plan a nice dinner w friends.) The lights were bright and the room was super loud. The service was incredibly slow. Our server was trying but was clearly just very poorly trained. It took 2.5 hours for us to get through dinner and we had to cancel plans to go visit MGM because it was too late in the evening once we were finally done.The food was fine. Not great but serviceable. If you are staying in the Hyatt and don’t care about the experience, this restaurant is fine. If you are meeting dear friends for a rare evening together from outside the National Harbor area, don’t choose this place. (Maybe that obvious and I’m just oblivious to what kind of restaurant this is.)

The bar has great ambiance. It's a nice quiet bar, tucked away in a hotel. However, the service was lacking. It took about 15 minutes for us to be seated and even acknowledged. After the rocky start, the service improved and we had a wonderful night. The food was good and the drinks were even better. Would recommend for people looking to slowly enjoy the night and have good drinks.

Very professional and personable staff. We had the pleasure of having our Mother's 80th birthday dinner here, and we were well accommodated. Both food and drinks were above par. We highly recommend the gulf shrimp, sliders, and flatbread pizzas. If you're staying down at the National Harbor, make sure to drop in to this quaint bar, which not only offers a great Happy Hour, beautiful view of the water, but wonderful service. Anytime we're back home, we'll be sure to drop in!

This isn't a real restaurant, it's a hotel restaurant. We made a reservation for 6 people days in advance, and when we arrived they just pushed together 2 small round tables. So we didn't have a proper table for all of us. Service was very slow. Lights were bright, the room was too loud. Not an enjoyable environment or experience for our friend group. I booked this place not realizing what it is because I don't live nearby. If you are staying in the hotel, this is probably a perfectly fine dinner option as the food was fine. But if you are trying to have a nice night out with friends, that's not what this is.

This place is okay for a meet up with friends but the food gave me Applebees vibes. Especially the flatbreads and the boneless wings. The ambiance is cute, especially outdoor on a summer day. Service was okay, seems like they needed another bartender because we often had to remind about drink orders.

Food was delicious and the service was fast and friendly.
