    The Chopsmith
    Gloria M.

    I ordered the chopsmith salad and it was saturated in dressing and the steak was low quality/overcooked. They give you the option to order the dressing on the side or have it mixed, so that part is on me but the steak was just bad. I've been in the past and had a much different experience so it's disappointing that they're not consistent.

    Chicken Salad Sandwich
    Shannon S.

    I got a chicken salad sandwich on multigrain bread. The bread was toasted. The chicken salad had grapes in it, so it was sweet and savory. It was a decent sandwich, I had to add some salt. Overall, I would try other items here. The service was very fast, I ordered online and my sandwich was ready as promised. It's a nice shop with ample seating, I would like to try other items, it seems like they have healthier options to choose from.

    I came here around 9 AM on the Saturday of the cherry blossom peak bloom weekend. It was one of the few places open at that time. Ordering was done on a touchscreen kiosk. Remember your order number because you don't immediately get a receipt. The place got PACKED shortly after I ordered. There was only 1 staff member managing the order tickets and serving the orders, and they were clearly overwhelmed. The food tasted decent. Some was fairly priced such as the spicy chicken noodle for $5 but others such as the daily soup was a small portion for $8. I don't know if the crowd was an anomaly, but it would have been an otherwise relaxing atmosphere as the seats were pretty comfortable and the ambiance was pretty good.

    Solid quick casual spot on the Wharf. Wanted something quick, easy, and healthy and Chopsmith was perfect. I was able to order online from my hotel, walk over, and pick up less than 10 minutes later. My food was fresh and tasty and the cashier was super friendly. Nice to have such an option on the Wharf!

    Chopsmith Salad
    Saha S.

    I got the Chopsmith salad, and it was pretty solid. It comes with a good amount of steak, and is pretty filling overall. It could use a bit more dressing though, but that can be ordered on the side. I also got a lemon cookie, which was good.

    If you're at the Wharf and need something quick and more healthy options, go to Chopsmith. They sell sandwiches, burgers, but also salads and bowls. Staying at a nearby hotel, it took them ten minutes to make our food on a Friday in November. Their burger was decent. My wife enjoyed their shrimp bowl.

    Teriyaki chicken salad

    It was a decent experience since there isn't my healthy goto like a sweetgreen around. Salad was good but I didn't feel that salad was composed well. It was still good but not as good as salad from chopt or sweetgreen.

    Chopsmith was a great place to get a breakfast sandwich before we embarked on some more sightseeing in D.C. We went there on Labor Day before the rush started to come around. I enjoyed multiple servings of iced coffee while noshing on the Frenchy that comprised spicy aioli, an Any Style Egg, Applewood Smoked Bacon, and Avocado. The service behind the counter was fairly fast and I received both my iced coffee and the sandwich. We enjoyed our food in the dining area at a table that had high ceilings with dark brown wood paneling and white-painted walls. As a sidebar. the bathroom has a numeric lock pad, which you need to ask the associates behind the counter for the combination.

    Spicy Crab Bun with Avocado

    Perfect spot at the wharf for a quick bit for breakfast, lunch and dinner. You can even grab a few items at the market. There's something on the menu for everyone. The breakfast menu has sandwich's, bagels, bowls and omelettes. During my recent visit I had the spicy crab bun with avocado and it was great. Well portion and fresh ingredients. Breakfast goes until 1PM on the weekends which is great if you want brunch without all the bells and whistles. The lunch and dinner menu has burgers, sandwiches, salads, bowls and a few dishes with steak, chicken and salmon. The black bean burger is one of my favorites. They also have a market with an array of cheeses, meats and other to go items like chicken salad and roasted corn salad. Ordering is easing with the kiosk at the front. You can also order online. The inside has a more intimate vibe, similar to a coffee shop but a bit more spacious and not as busy. They have a good selection of drinks too including coffee, fresh pressed juices, beer and wine.

    Order at a kiosk. Good food. Free water. Had good seating and great lighting. Good location near the Wharf.

    I was staying in DC on a work trip by the Wharf and decided to go get a healthier food option. I got the grape limeade drink and crispy miso tofu plate. The portion they provide is very filling but the tofu wasn't very seasoned so I didn't eat much of that. I would've enjoyed the plate a lot more with a better tofu. Would recommend but trying a different plate or bowl option.

I had never been before, and he was seemed curious to try, so we stopped by. They have outdoor seating, but there was no service at the time, which was too bad because the weather was outstanding. The host is said we could take drinks out there, but not food. So we just opted for the bar. Thankfully, they eventually opened one of the doors real wide so the outdoor air was coming in and that was nice. Happy hour was going until 6:30, and I have to admit that some of these happy hour prices are regular prices at other places XD, but remember it's the wharf. And there was a time when happy hour there wasn't even a thing. So I got a glass of wine and yellowtail tacos with salad. I wasn't expecting the yellowtail to be fried, but it was fine. The salad was way bigger than I thought it would be. It was good. My cousin got the burger and fries... I tasted it and I think I enjoyed the burger more, haha. That smoked cheddar, whew! I found the fries to be pretty average. The ambiance of the place is very nice and I could see myself returning. Some other people at the bar got some amazing looking dishes too, but I know they were expensive XD.

In that state, I could only stare dumbly at the menu while standing at the counter. Everything looked like exactly what I wanted to eat.

The employee at the counter recommended the Sriracha aioli to go with my sweet potato fries, and I'm glad she did. It's sharp and savory and adequately balanced the sweetness of the fries, which were nicely crispy. I topped it off with a glass of their refreshing turmeric-tangerine beverage.

We grabbed a seat and did not wait long for our food to come out. I really enjoyed my burger and scarfed it down! I paid for sauces, which were tiny and super overpriced. Hubs enjoyed his cheesesteak but he prefers meat. I had a bite and thought it was really flavorful and very closely tasting like the real thing. I noticed later this is a chain, which is pretty cool. I think the prices were pretty steep so I might skip on the fries next time. The food could have been warmer as well. Definitely worth a visit and will most likely be back when in DC again.

However, it didn't live up to the expectations. Upon arriving, my husband and I were shown to a table against the wall that had been set up under some kind of ledge that might normally be used as a bar. I would have had this ledge leaning up against me so I asked if we could move to another table. We were seated at a table in front of the door and the hostess stand, so it was cramped. The tables were extremely packed, I had to use a plastic chair, and the table was wobbly so we had to fix that as well. The day had been a little warm so the door was propped open but when we got to the restaurant, it was really chilly. Since we were right by the door, I asked the waitress if we could shut the door. The waitress said she had to ask the manager and the manager came back and said no. There was a couple next to us who said that they also asked to close the door and the manager said no. My husband ended up getting up and was like Yo dog, it's 40 degrees outside, close the door. They ended up closing the door so like a little sexist? Why will the close a door when a man asks? The waitress asked if we wanted still or sparkling water, and we opted for still. You can imagine our surpris when we found out that we were charged $8.00 for water because we did not specify "tap." We didn't discuss it with the waiter but I thought that was idk, kind of shitty? Everyone knows that you don't pay for the still water We started with the grilled octopus which was ok and we ordered two of the bruschettas. I want to clarify, this meant that we literally got one of each type of bruschetta. I thought we would get like a small plate of both but it was literally two pieces of bread for $12 each. Yikes. I got the short rib pasta which was fine. The sauce wasn't very smooth. My husband got a panini that was also fine but certainly not worth the price tag. For the trouble with asking to move the table, the wobbly furniture, the water, and the door issue, not the best. Won't be returning!
