    New dinner menu
    Lisa D.

    Ordered to-go while staying at the hotel. I ordered the Chicken Milanese, which was a large piece of fried chicken with a little bit of arugula. I would've liked a more balanced portion of chicken to arugula, but the vinaigrette was delicious.

    Stayed at the hotel for a night and ate at the restaurant since it was convenient. The vibe is chill, the service was fantastic. I got a Pinot Grigio while waiting for my takeout order of Cobb salad and chocolate cake (ultimate mom dinner). They don't have any vegetarian or vegan options but you can adapt some of the dishes to vegetarian by removing the meat option. Pricing was pretty steep (as you might expect at The Wharf) but the portion sizes were generous. I was pretty shocked a glass of white wine was $19 though All in all, a good experience with tasty food but you're going to pay for it!

    GET THE BIRRIA FRIES. JUST DO IT I came for the fries, honestly and they did NOT disappoint! The servers seemed pretty busy, so it was hard to get our servers attention to order. This restaurant is located in the Canopy Hotel, so it was quiet; and then things seemed to pickup drastically and I'm not sure staff was prepared. I ordered the chicken dish as my main, it was cooked well; I just wish it had a lot more flavor. It needed a lot more salt, but other than that it was good!

    I must say...Hilton Properties are amazing! There is nothing like the vibes in DC! I stayed on the Wharf and I felt right at home. The bells man were great, but they could use more carts to carry the luggage so you're not waiting as long. I did use the valet service to store my car for a week and I was able to retrieve my car as need be to run errands. Antonio I believe was a manager and he was very helpful. I needed to add a few days to my trip which I was unsuccessful via the app, but he made it a seamless process. After he explained everything to me, I went up to my room and loved everything about it. I would suggest having an item to leave on your door if the room is in need of linen, cleaning or simply more towels. I Love the Nespresso machine, as I own a barista and it's lovely. Now...let's get into Food & Happy Hour. Happy Hour is only for one hour at this location but at other Hilton Properties, Happy Hour is over a 2 hour period, so I was a little disappointed by that. On a separate day, I went up to the Cafe inside of the hotel and let me tell you, the individual who made my day great was the new night Manager. My server was horrible. I will not list her name because I did provide face to face pointers for her to hopefully learn from, however I was never checked on once she brought my food and drinks to the table. I had to place the napkin over my food and close out my tab inside. When I asked why I had not been checked on she said, "well I was busy...which it was not busy AT all" so the Night Shift manager made sure I was taken care of. I didn't ask for a discount or to have any food taken off of my order, I simply wanted the young lady to be more attentive to guests purchasing food. Otherwise, my stay in Room 810 was amazing therefore I will give Hilton a 5Star! Cheers!

    Stopped for a late bfast while in town for the Cherry Blossoms. Service was ok, kind of slow due to only 2 servers on a busy Sunday morning. Food was good.

    Shrimp and grits minus pork and cheese

    OMG!!! So right now I am on seafood. Usually strictly vegan however, seafood is good. This shrimp and grits was delicious! Absolutely amazing. The mimosa is pineapple and I would definitely have more. The service is phenomenal. The glass was constantly being filled. It's quiet at brunches time. It's beautiful with a scenic view. I would highly recommend it.

    Dude, seriously. We get a $36 credit (for a double occupancy room) to be used here at any time of day. Our first day, we got the Big Mic burger and a wedge salad. (Paid $2 plus tip and attached the bill to the room.) This morning we just ordered the Bacon Egg and Cheese sammie and the Avo Toast with bacon and egg. (Should be another $3 plus tip kinda bill.) The food is actually quite good! The wait staff is super awesome as well; many people on hand and so nice. The views outside are very nice. I can't recommend this place enough! They do take reservations on their website. Lunch took a hot minute to come out, but we weren't in a hurry. It's not loud, so good for a catch up meal with friends.

    For hotel food this place is pretty legit. I kept seeing the pizza in the afternoons but didn't get to try it. We did however try the breakfast and it was pretty darn good. The chicken and waffles is plenty to share between two people unless your really hungry. The chicken was seasoned perfectly. Took off a star bc if you are in a rush this is not the place to go but the people are friendly. Also the bar at night is A1. All the bartenders at night made me some delicious cocktails. If your staying at the hotel and have the credit use them here. It's worth it.

    We don't get down to the wharf much but wanted to find a place that had good food, service, views and was close to the Anthem. Canopy Central Cafe at the Hilton literally hit all the marks and it will now be our go-to whenever we are going to a show. The dining room is on the second level of the hotel and overlooks the water. Our host, Dagim and waiter Dayton were top notch when it comes to food service. Dagim had actually answered my call prior to arriving and was super friendly and answered all my questions regarding parking/reservations etc. I had read reviews on Yelp before arriving and someone said to ask for Eddie to make your pizza. I did ask Dagim as he was seating us if Eddie was working today and he said he was working but wasn't in that part of the restaurant today (they have another restaurant on-site - Whiskey Charlie). I was a little bummed but he assured me the chef on staff making pizza that evening was also fantastic. To my surprise about 10 minutes later, Dagim let me know he was able to borrow Eddie to come down and specially make our pizza!!!! Dayton was just as kind and friendly as our waiter. I can't say enough good things about our experience with the service, but also need to mention how incredible the PIZZA AND BIRRIA FRIES WERE! My husband and I were floored and the quality of this food and can't wait to return when we have more time and aren't rushing to a show to try some of the other offerings. And I can't forget to mention how CHEAP the draft beers were for this area! $6 IPAs and it wasn't even happy hour. Wow! So Dagim, Dayton and of course EDDIE - thank you so much for making our night out so special.

    Chicken sandwich
    Donyiel C.

    Stayed at the Canopy hotel so this cafe was more or less convenient but honestly not the best service. My friend and I wanted to just get coffee one morning and it was 10:02 and they said they were closed for breakfast and won't reopen until brunch. I mean it was just coffee! I think if you're located inside a hotel, coffee should be more readily available but maybe it's a covid thing?! It was my first hotel stay since pre-covid. I did eventually get to try the coffee and it was $4/cup - decent coffee but pricey!! Another time we decided to do lunch here. We got seated outside and 20 minutes go by before anyone came over to take our orders. I got a chicken sandwhich and it was ok! Nothing great but I was hungry. I can't say this is a place I'd come to if I wasn't staying at the hotel!

    Hangover special
    Kai M.

    I visited here every morning while staying at the hotel and each time I visited, my food was delicious, coffee was freshly brewed, and the staff...Shoutout to GiGi and everyone who always carried a positive demeanor whenever they approached guest. I did not do lunch or dinner here because the area was one to explore. But, breakfast was a plus! And, I have noooooo idea where these fruits came from but they were the sweetest fruits ever selected (spoken from someone living in DC who often purchases fruits that are beyond sour) The view! the ambiance! AMAZING! The service! Quality and handled with care! Thank you, to all of the staff who worked during the weekend of March 5. You are truly appreciated for your hard work and all that you do in preparing this meal, serving tables, and even greeting guest at the door. My staycation was made!!!! I'll be back again

    Decided to come here on a Thursday evening to sit outdoors to enjoy the scenery. This place surely gets a 5 star rating for the views and gorgeous outdoor dining and chill setup. The ambiance makes you feel like you're in south beach - just enjoying the cool vibe and breeze. Our server, Nirvana, was so delightful and attentive We finally ordered cocktails that were pretty average, and food after reviewing the menu for what seemed to be 30 mins lol We loved the ambiance and the weather was spectacular - we were distracted! Lol Anyway, I ordered Seared Salmon with shrimp. He ordered the chicken pasta dish. My food was flavorful - his not so much. With that...I give the dining experience (service and ambiance) 5 stars and the food 3....

    Bottomless mimosas
    Sung S.

    We were looking for a bottomless brunch last minute at the wharf and came across here. I had the best time here! Deborah, our server, was so fun and friendly. She was very attentive and made sure we had a great time. The view was good too. In terms of food, I loved it. The common thing was that seasoning and sauces were great. The hangover special had a nice old bay aioli. The hash was very crispy. The chicken and waffle was the highlight. The chicken was so crispy and surprisingly not greasy. The lavender butter was amazing. Everything blended so well together.

Dacha is a semi-outdoor beer garden across from Nat's Park and a short walk from Audi Field, making it the perfect storm to collect a massive crowd before a game. We arrived shortly before happy hour ended, about two hours before a Friday night Spirit game and were able to get a table. Dacha did fill up quickly, but with plenty of seating and an open section with standing tables in the center, there was still room to move around. With the glass walls surrounding us, we felt like we were in a garden. The noise level, while high, was not as bad as Solace, and we were still actually able to hear each other. Our server did not check on us as time went by, but she did bring us waters as soon as we were seated, which really exceeds my expectations for a beer garden. Our food and drinks arrived quickly and were super tasty. Both the flagship lager and IPA were drinks I'd order again, and as a vinho verde admirer, I appreciated having that as an option on the HH menu. While the skinny burger is delicious, the real star of the HH menu is the fried pickles, homemade and flavorful and piping hot. I'm eager to go back for another pregame and try the HH cocktail, perhaps sampling something from the regular menu as well.

Trouble Bird was the answer to my prayers on a recent trip, where I was looking to have high quality drinks and a laid-back NON-commercial vibe with my team. We liked it so much, we came twice in one week, and I was impressed at their ability to handle and be comfortable for a large group in a space that can feel intimate. The lighting is nice and moody, the menu available via QR code, and the WiFi free and listed with password for patrons to use. We had excellent service both times, by the two folks working each night for a groups of 6-8 each time. There was something for everyone from the nondrinkers to the beer enthusiasts, to cocktail aficionados like myself. There's an amazing happy hour deal, with discounts on drinks all Monday and reduced prices for a couple of hours on other weekdays; it almost felt criminal how generous the happy hour was when I've gotten used to paying $20 for a mediocre cocktail at other nearby establishments. And the cocktails here are really very good, probably the best in the area, except for their immediate next door neighbor. The group favorite cocktail was the Midori sour which was incredibly well balanced and refreshing, and the surprising crowd pleaser was the Hamilton Dry Float, which came in a creepy tiki mug presentation that we really loved. We had a couple of the bar bites - the spiced peanuts were well loved across the group but my person favorite food item was the blistered shishitos, which came with a great chipotle aioli. The bathrooms are extremely clean and overall this was a bar favorite for the group for our week of going out and socializing together. Overall this is a gem of a neighborhood hangout with really excellent cocktails and service! Will absolutely come here next time I'm in town!

She offered to get in touch with some sort of compensation but didn't offer to waive our one beer. We left paying full price for everything.
