The service was good and the food was good but didn’t think it was worth the cost. I ordered a burger medium rare and it came out close to well done. They didn’t come to check on us until I was almost done eating. It wasn’t worth waiting another 30 plus minutes and not eating with my family, I would have liked the food as I ordered.

This was our second time at the grill. The food and service were both outstanding! Our server was wonderful. We got oysters, calamari and tuna bites for appetizers and my husband and I both got filet mignons. They were cooked exactly right. He also had the asparagus, pimento Mac and fries. All the sides were amazing as well. We will be back!

Atmosphere was disappointing. Sat outside but water view obstructed by cheap plastic/vinyl curtains you couldn’t see through

Certainly! Here's a refined version of your message: --- Hello Thomas, Thank you for your feedback. We are committed to providing the best cuisine, service, and atmosphere to ensure an exceptional guest experience. Please note that the vinyl obstructions near The Grill were temporary and were placed for a private event, not by us, so we had no control over their structure. Rest assured, they are no longer there! Your review has been shared with our management team as part of our ongoing efforts to improve and learn from guest experiences.

The Sunset Menu (pre-6pm) is excellent value for Washington DC - just $39 for 3 courses. The quality of food was good and our server was excellent. And the restaurant is set right by the waterside.

First time diner! Food was so delicious. The grilled cheese bites were amazing! Crab cake was tasty and no shells. Pavlova was out of this world. We had a very lively waitress from Belarus who was helpful and very attentive.
