NOTE: This restaurant no longer exists!It was replaced by Harbor Social, which has a separate listing. No need to spend 20 minutes walking in circles around the hotel trying to find a restaurant that doesn't exist like I did :)

I was in town for a professional conference. I’m patient, as I always appreciate the service industry. Waiting over an hour for a server to bring our drinks. Came back, no apology, asked one of my colleagues if he wanted another drink, then left. She didn’t ask anyone else, and she came back with the check. To add insult to injury, they turned off the premier NCAA game of the evening at 11:44 pm with 1:42 left in the 4th. If you’re looking for mediocre drinks or a true sports bar - this was a major disappointment. Shocked that a Marriott would allow this kind of establishment to be onsite. I won’t be back.

If you are expecting much from this place because of the hotel it's attached to, don't. The food was disgusting.

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.

Good food, and incredibly fast service! The breakfast especially is pretty great, especially at the price it was for a large meal! Definitely coming back!!

One of the restaurants in the Gaylord Hotel, the title says it's a sports bar, but I found that the screens and spectators weren't as distracting as typical sports bars. The Crabcake sandwich was fresh and delicious on a great bun that wasn't too greasy. The fries were perfectly crispy as well. Could've ordered another one. Would definitely come back to try other entrees.

Great food, fantastic atmosphere. Great for large groups. Friendly staff members. Very helpful in describing foods. Clean bathrooms. Prices are fair. Serving size is huge for the amount you pay.

I absolutely love this place! We consistently receive excellent bar service from Yusan! Tortilla salad is the best, the wings are organic and delicious. The burgers are good and Pastime definitely has THEEEEEE best fries at the National Harbor! Last thing.........Do yourself a favor and try the red velvet cake

Ate there only once, at lunch. Food was mediocre. Service was good. Because I wasstaying in the hotel, it was convenient, but otherwise I would not go there.

The food is actually quite acceptable. I say that having ate here several times with colleagues. The food was consistent every time. However, the menu is extremely limited, which is absurd when you consider this is only one of three restaurants in a convention/conference hotel that routinely has 5,000 or 10,000 people looking to eat and drink. That is beyond absurd. The utter lack of F&B outlets at the Gaylord National is by far the hotel's biggest weakness. Try getting a table for lunch. It's impossible. The biggest problems were very inconsistent service and frankly just bad management. Because of union agreements and apparently labor shortages, entire sections of the restaurant sat empty while dozens of guests waited for an available table. I've never in my life see a restaurant so poorly managed.

Great service and the food is always delicious. A little pricey but ok. Yusan is our favorite server. She's always very professional and attentive with the best customer service.

Was here for a conference and was treated EXTREMELY kindly by Tracy. So patient and accommodating. You’re a service star! Thank you so much.

We ate dinner and even with a limited menu, there was something for everyone. Our server was fantastic and everyone was friendly.

Wow what can I say. I tend to accept mediocre food as par for the course sometimes. But this was pathetic $15 dollars for wings that had the meat quotient of about 3 McNuggets. Sitting at the bar and gentleman sits down beside me and says are those pigeon wings? I said I believe they are Cornish game hen wings. Yes they were that small and over cooked to boot. Don't waste your time
