Best Waterfront Restaurants in Foggy Bottom

Brought in a group who were all there for the first time, and everyone loved it!

We were seated immediately when we walked in. Our server was wonderful and very on point. The food came out very quickly. It was delicious and cooked perfectly. The only complaint was the sticky toffee pudding. It was very sweet and hard to eat but that is personal preference I guess. It was cute that they put a little happy birthday chocolate and candle on one since we celebrating a birthday. It was definitely an experience to have at least once.

We were there early on a quiet Sat evening. We had a nice view of the water, wait staff were attentive and friendly. The food was delicious, oysters, seafood with grits, branzino. And we enjoyed the desserts too. The food came in a timely manner. And when we accidentally tipped on a total that already included the tip, the waiter caught us as we were leaving to let us know and offered to correct it. It was a great experience for our group of friends and family.

We are in the bar and had a combination off the bar and main menu. That worked out well. The happy hour wine was low priced and a reasonable value.

We stayed in the igloos, and everything about our visit was outstanding! The igloos themselves are private, warm, cozy, and have a great view of the water and Wharf area. The Bose speakers in there were also a nice touch. It was our first time in an igloo, and would love to do it again. The food was also fantastic. I expected it to be good, but it was even better than we had hoped. The first thing my wife commented was how fresh everything tasted. Be warned though, if there are only two of you, it is A LOT of food! Fortunately, we now have lunch and dinner for the next couple days. The minimum spend isn't cheap for two people, but you certainly get your money's worth. Finally, the service was great. Our waiter was very friendly and although I was initially a little concerned that we can't really flag anyone down in the igloos if we need anything, he was there the perfect amount to make sure we had everything we needed, but not intrusive. Overall, an excellent experience and aside from the ridiculous 4% service fee they charge, really nothing negative to note. This definitely stands out as one of the best nights out we've had!
