My fiancé, my 3 month old baby, and I went to Bond 45 last night to celebrate our engagement & it was honestly such a nice Restuarant to go and celebrate anything! The service was wonderful, everyone was very welcoming, and greeted us with a smile. The place was beautiful and pretty fancy but we were literally wearing jeans and a top, and we didn't feel left out or we were in the wrong place because of how welcoming everyone there was! The food... 10/10!! The calamari and shrimp was so delicious & the chicken parm was so good!! This is definitely be one of our go tos for dinner

Everything was great. The hostess, the server, the food and ambiance!!
Spaghetti carbonara was disappointing, too thick. Ordered a glass of cabernet and it was not good, tasted like it was 2 week old wine. Service was excellent!

I stopped by for a quick bite and sat at the bar , the bartender was supper attentive and asked several times if all is going well! The restaurant is right by the water and has some great views! I ordered the rigatoni bolognese and a passion fruit margarita. Service 5/5 - sat at the bar and the bartender was friendly and attentive! Food 4/5 - the pasta was good , wish it had more flavor! the drink was GREAT!

I am a steak snob, and have eaten in some of the country's best steakhouses over the years. I had the ribeye steak at Bond 45 and it was the best I have ever eaten. One of my dinner companions must have said 5 times that the char was amazing and I agreed completely. The char, the perfect medium rare center, the seasoning and the quality of the meat could not have been better. I also had the pear salad which was good, but not on the level of the steak. The service was friendly and attentive. Due to the hugs and jokes between several staff and clients, it was clear that the restaurant had a lot of regulars which added to the great experience. I highly recommend and would go again if I am ever in the area.

This places is fabulous! The two hostess gals in front are so sweet. There was two guys that would also come out to talk to certain people and would hug and talk like they were family. I think from conversations heard they were just really long time customers. It has a beautiful atmosphere and a fantastic view of the river and a perfect sunset. I just had take out, I was not super hungry, so got smalls. Arancini stayed hot while I took it to my room. Mwwah its delicious, crisp, full of flavor, beautiful sauce. Yummy! Mac and cheese (hey, why not? Lol) i normally only like my Moms mac and cheese but this was goood! Red velvet cake was not my favorite but it was good.

my husband and I had dinner at Bond 45 Last night was a Saturday night and very busy.. The hostess was very polite and very professional, and had a seated earlier than expected. We were seated on a side balcony that was heated, and the view over the national Harbor was very beautiful at night. The service was a little slower than I would've liked with our drinks and our food however, it was really busy. I'm sure the bar was doing the best they could because our drinks were fabulous. The food was fantastic. We began with fried calamari and shrimp, which had a spicy aïoli and crispy jalapeños. I highly recommend this as an appetizer. We love Empire steakhouse in New York City and I would say the steak that we had the tomahawk was just as good if not better.. We are our tomahawk with crispy Brussels. That were perfect. We didn't have room for dessert. Next time we'll have to try. The movie sound sounded divine.

My mother in law is a regular and the staff treat her like family! From the hostess and servers to the general manager, Johnny, they all did everything they could to turn a regular night out into something really special! It was my first time at the restaurant, and I was blown away by our experience. Sending a huge thanks to Johnny and the staff of Bond 45 for running such an amazing restaurant.

Shrimp Stuffed Bronzino w/cream spinach. The cream spinach is stuffed inside with shrimp. That was a good dish and good portion size this coming from someone who never eats all of their food, but I'm happy to say that delightfully finished my whole meal. We had the shrimp and calamari as an appetizer my husband and I shared and it was also good. Drinks were good and the service was also good, we each received a complimentary glass of champagne. Took a little while to come back with the check. But would go back.
