The best tacos!!!!!!!! Went for happy hour with my friends on a Wednesday. The restaurant has a happy hour special on 818 tequila margaritas for $8.18. I tried 2 of the margaritas and had the Build Your Own - Taco Supreme. The meal comes with so many toppings and the beef was so flavorful. The service was absolutely amazing. I was able to make a reservation online days in advance. The vibes and aesthetic were just so amazing.

Crunchy's

While staying at MGM went down to Diablo's. The menu is pretty small. Not a lot of options. I got the steak. Server said it's kinda small but comes with peppers and some onions. So I ordered that and the crunchy's app. The steak was small like she said and it came with 2 small peppers. The steak was not really seasoned at all. So kinda bland. The crunchy's app is their version of chips and salsa and guac. One of the salsas was pretty good. The other not so much. Strange orange goop. Over all the meal was $47. Not really worth it unfortunately.

Mocktail

Came here on a Thursday night which was so much fun. They have salsa and bachata lessons every Thursday by a great instructor. This a place to meet people and dance all night. The vibes are great! The outside is very pretty and they have an outside bar. The inside bar is first come first serve. The tables you would need to make a reservation. The food is pretty good and comes out really fast. The mocktails and drinks are amazing! They also have flights. We got the steak fajitas, crispy corn cakes, guac & chips. Everything was pretty delicious.

Chicken fajitas

I always come to the MGM but this is the first time I have been in here. We sat at the bar and had the best server Brian! We got margaritas and fajitas and were not disappointed. Everything was good. And the bonus was DJ 5_9 was playing music! It was definitely a vibe I want to go back to.

Drinks were great had the been there done that and the dusk to dawn and added tajin to it...so good. Not a fan of the salsa tasted like puréed tomatoes nothing else. But the chips were different but good. Whole fried tortilla shells Service was great. Waitress was very attentive and personable. We sat outside beautiful patio area.

Mixed tacos

Much better than expected based on reviews. Service was great. Sat outside in a nice evening before a show. Outdoors was lovely. Food was delicious.

Visited for their Cinco de Mayo specials the weekend prior to May 5th. Had an evening reservation. The front entry host stand was a little crowded and challenging to navigate who to speak with to enter the restaurant however since I was meeting friends who already had a table I just walked around the host stand and entered the restaurant. The restaurant is very bright, open, and spacious with several indoor and outdoor seating options. We were seated outside on the back patio. The table service was prompt and the staff was very attentive and lively to ensure we were enjoying our time at the restaurant. We ordered various appetizers to share and they were good especially the cheese bread. The noise level is moderate even with live music and a DJ playing inside we were still able to hear each other when speaking. I did not have any bar drinks or cocktails during this visit. Free parking Restaurant is located on the casino level (the first restaurant you will see on this level when entering near casino) $$

Restaurant Interior is very bright and gives a good vibe!

I had a great dining experience! The service and food were superior. The manager even took a dish off the bill because it took too long to come from the kitchen. I didn't even have to say a word and that has never happened before. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and dine here again. It is a bit of a long walk from the theater area for people with mobility issues which is a shame but other than that, I really enjoyed it and hopefully next time I can spend more time and relax and enjoy the atmosphere. I was dining here pre-theater and I couldn't get a reservation at the Asian restaurant - where I actually wanted to dine. I was lucky to get one here and they really worked with me to make sure I got out of there in time to make my show at the in-house theater.

Went for dinner with a few friends around Cinco de Mayo. When we got there, we learned that they very recently (as in a few days before) changed the menu to be more tapas style for more of a lounge type of feel. I was so disappointed. I've been here a few times before and was looking forward to tacos and nachos! The food was pretty good -- we tried most of the menu items between the five of us. The drinks were great. We were seated in the outdoor area on some couches around a coffee table. The bar and regular seating area were still available and there didn't seem to be much traffic (which honestly should have been a sign because anytime I've been before, it's been busy.) Not what I expected and I really think changing up the menu was not the best idea!

Came here for a quick bite with my cousins who live near the area. I'm here for a conference…read more This place has great food, service and vibe! I haven't been so hungry so I got the jumbo pretzel with beer cheese dip/ mustard. You get 2 deliciously buttery pretzels. The cheese dip is great. The mustard is meh. One cousin ordered the burger with a side salad. She enjoyed! My other cousin devoured the chicken pot pie (white meat) plus side salad. No fancy drinks or for any of us. Pepsi/ water/ unsweetened tea. It wasn't so loud so we could actually talk to each other. Had a great server. Menu is limited food wise but there's something for everyone. Would definitely come back.

Jay is the best bartender at the Harbor - and this isn't up for debate!…read more My friends and I came here randomly after visiting another bar in the area and this should've actually been the first stop! The only thing we (our group of about 6) did not experience here, was the food (the reason why I didn't want to give 5-stars). But if we're talking about entertainment and overall drink-vibe, The Irish Whisper is a cool spot. Aesthetically, it doesn't really match the rest of the surrounding area (if you're familiar - this restaurant is a lot darker and smaller than others) but for a fight night, game night, "I just want to sit at the bar" night, might sure you find Jay, and then have a seat!

They have both indoor and outdoor seating. They have a QR menu to view the options but it is not updated. As a sweet wine drinker, I opted to sample 2 of their sweet reds and they were great! I ended up getting full glasses of both. I was taken care of by Troy at the bar. His cool, calm demeanor fit perfectly in the space lol. And the background tunes was the icing on the cake. Glad I f8nally made it in!

Well, pull up a chair because I'm about to tell you about it. From the second I walked in, the ambiance was on point! '90s - 2000s R&B playing in the background of an absolutely gorgeous tasting room. The tasting room is full of personality, with all kinds of luxury-themed and wine-themed novelties adorning the space. There's a decent size bar with a pretty good selection of wines, as well as a couple of small tables as well as an outdoor terrace. If you are people watcher like me, you'll want a seat on the terrace. The tasting room has so much built-in personality that I imagine it would be a great place to host something like a bridal shower, birthday party, or some other equally fabulous event. Now let's get to the wines. If you are a sweet wine fan, then this place is for you. For around $20, you will receive about a 3 oz pour of three different kinds of wines. Ask the server about the different types of wine flights available for purchase. She really knows her stuff! Since it was hot outside, I opted for the white wine flight. The wines varied in both sweetness and flavor but overall I was impressed with each and every one of them. I think the passion fruit wine was my favorite out of all three... And it was really difficult to choose a favorite. When it's time to settle up, the restaurant provides you with a receipt that has a QR code which takes you to a website where you can pay and leave a tip. Of course, if you want to pay with your card, you're able to do that as well. This is a great place to meet up with friends, or to just enjoy some me-time alone on the terrace, watching the world go by.

I was a bit hesitant at first given my first experience here but I guess it's safe to say they redeemed themselves with this visit. Everyone enjoyed their meals. My hunnie opted for the salmon with rice and veggies and his veggies were pretty good. I went with the buffalo shrimp, baked potato & caesar salad. We all ordered cocktails and I ordered a few celebratory shots for the birthdays our friends recently had. My green tea shot was in perfect! lol We sat outside. There was a live band performing in honor of 9/11. I guess it's safe to say all went well this go around. Happy Yelping!

Update: September 17, 2026 I previously posted a spectacular…read morereview concerning how great the staff and a particular bartender/server was at Redstone American Grill National Harbor. Well... this is how things have gotten over the past couple months. I am a very regular patron, visiting 1 to 2 times a week on average, typically Thursday and Sunday. I enjoy the food and atmosphere. I know many of the staff and the management team, and we warmly greet each other every time I visit as well as chatting with several other regulars that call Redstone their local place to socialize and enjoy the patio bar, food and atmosphere. Recently, there have been additions to the restaurant staff that have begun to diminish the quality of the service and many of the locals, have noted the same things. This past Monday afternoon, I decided to stop in for lunch and a couple drinks. I again chose a patio seat and what started as a very enjoyable dining experience became one of my worst. The AM/Lunch bartender/server was as expected awesome, attentive and a pleasure. I sat chatting with one of the regulars, as we both enjoyed sitting at the patio bar. The first bartender informed us that she was ending her shift and asked if minded close out, which we did after sharing a laugh or two about her leaving us. This is where things took a huge left turn and only spiraled down from there. Because of where we were sitting, it allowed other guests to sit on both sides of us. We began chatting with them, together and individually. I was chatting with two guests to my right, laughing and truly enjoying the afternoon, while continuing to drink and conclude our meals. The PM bartenders were not very attentive and at times we had to call them several times to order another round, often feeling like they were intentionally avoiding us. One of them unfortunately was a bartender that has been very bad since she first started a months or so ago. Between intentionally avoiding serving me to completely making my drink wrong. I normally have Woodford Old Fashioned but that day switched to a beer on draft. I requested another beer and excused myself to the restroom. Upon returning my beer had not been delivered and the two guests I was chatting with said, that the bartender come back to them and stated, "she did not like the person they are chatting with", (meaning me). The guests were surprised and did not know why she would be telling them that, because other than ordering my beer, I had no interactions with her. They also had to ask again for the beer that I requested and what they were drinking, which was finally made and delivered. This bartender since arriving, has been notably nasty to me and other guests. I personally watched her throw menus on a table and she has terrible customer service skills. I have had more than a few situations where she either intentionally left the bar to avoid serving me or took an exceptionally long time delivering my drink. I have spoken to the management team more than once about how she has been. The comment about not liking the company they are chatting with is not acceptable in the service industry and show very little professionalism. With all the incidents that have occurred and the service received from the very first time she arrived is truly unacceptable and I would not suggest that anyone go dine there. With so many good places at National Harbor, it's very sad that I have to post this comment. I have not confronted or spoken disrespectfully to her. I have tolerated her consistent low-levels of service and disrespect. I enjoy the food and views and guests on the patio, which is why I have been returning. But I know when she is on the bar that it will not be a pleasant experience. I did have one of the other bartenders tell me a few weeks ago, to just go to the other bar when she is working to maintain the levels of service that are normally provided. I will just find another restaurant to patronize. I have spent to much of my time and money in a place with a bartender that does not like me, for whatever reason and is openly saying it to other paying customers. At this point, I would not recommend that anyone spend their hard-earned money at Redstone National Harbor, MD, especially if this is the new culture. I certainly will not be patronizing this establishment again. As a traveling Food and Beverage Training Director and Restaurant General Manager, this is the type of service that is hurting our industry. Redstone needs to invest more into recruiting and training their staff to maintain and elevate the dining experience. Not just fill vacant positions with individuals that have no hospitality skills or abilities.
