She made us feel incredibly comfortable and taken care of throughout our entire experience. Her service was truly top-notch. She was personable, attentive without ever making us feel rushed, and just had such a great energy. It's one thing to have good food, but having a server who makes the entire experience that much more enjoyable really stands out. She truly went above and beyond, and I hope she gets the recognition she deserves. She is an absolute asset to the restaurant and a huge part of why we had such a great experience. We would absolutely come back and would love to have her as our server again!

He is a great bartender. He went really good at making cocktails and good looking guy. Ismailread more

How can I put this... A Wine Bar in a grocery Store…read more..... What a great combination!!! You can pick out your little fruit or snack, from the grocery store, to go with your wine and they will add it to your tab. I ordered a glass of Criterion Pinot Grigio and the Charcuterie Plate Casalingo. Inexpensive, simple and tasty. Self Serve Wine Bar too. The staff was quite nice and helpful when I said it was my first time visiting. They didn't rush me. A good amount of people frequent the place too in just a matter of an hour. If you weren't paying attention, you would walk right by.... Get your wine tasting on and then go shopping.... Across the street from hotels, dog park and Smoke and Mirrors.

From the owner: Choose from 16 self-serve wines while you shop? Absolutely, plus 12 beers on tap.read more

Zooz at the Wharf had an intimate looking ambiance. Flowers were on the wall posts, and dimly lit…read more I spotted a DJ booth in the corner, so I bet this place gets club-ish later in the night. The chicken teriyaki stole the show. It packed a ton of flavor with a little kick of heat at the end. It came with fried rice and broccolini. My only wish? More broccolini and less rice. The broccolini tasted great, and I wanted more of it. The surf and turf sat on top of a mayo-based sauce. It tasted good, but the crab cake had some filler in it The Wharf garages are pricey . If you can, try to luck out with a street spot in the nearby neighborhood or catch an uber. Overall, Zooz was a cool spot and the teriyaki dish is worth coming back for. I plan to return for a later night to catch that DJ in action.

There was a great lineup of comedians, Myss Brown Sugga went last and was outrageous and hysterical! I love that they are taking the comedy night to the next level. Starting with the next show (August 26) it's becoming Comedy Competition, with a different lineup for each show. Guests will vote for their favorite comedians, with cash prizes for the winners, plus half-off wine (yassssss). ZOOZ has a really sexy, cool cocktail-garden atmosphere that makes it a great place for a night out. Our server was very good, the food was good, and the cocktails were excellent. And the location at The Wharf is perfect--you can make a whole evening of it by grabbing dinner and drinks, catching the comedy show, then walking along the river, enjoying the swings on the pier, and taking in everything else the Wharf has to offer. We're definitely looking forward to coming back for the next show!!

It…read morehappened to be happy hour, so we grabbed a couple of sangrias and ordered a few fried baskets to share. The shrimp and oysters were incredibly fresh, hot, crispy, and full of flavor. You can definitely tell they take pride in the quality of their seafood. My nephew ordered the burger and absolutely devoured it, so I'd say that was a win too! Between the waterfront views, laid-back atmosphere, wonderful staff and great food, it was the perfect place to take a break and refuel after exploring the area. If you're spending the day at The Wharf and looking for a casual spot with delicious seafood and a great vibe, I'd definitely recommend stopping here.

We had a really nice lunch today sitting on the patio of Hank's Oyster Bar. It's always great to…read morebe able to eat outdoors in November and the patio was perfect. I loved the oyster po'boy. Would totally order it again. 2 of my tablemates got crab cake sandwiches and they thought they were ok but not great. The fish and chips were pretty good. And the burger got good reviews. I ordered a coke and this tiny glass bottle of coke came out. It really didn't have any bubbles and it wasn't cold (although I was given a glass of ice). It was a total disappointment as a person who loves coke. I also want to shout out the awesome 90s music they had playing outside. My table mates didn't know any of the songs but I knew every word to every awesome song and thoroughly enjoyed it.

This place is really cool! I don't go to tiki bars a lot, but well I do, I always appreciate the…read morefun decor and crazy cups. This place goes hard with the tiki drinks, and they have their own room, Thrashers Rum. It's cool that you can sample any that you might be interested in. Since they were five of us, we just decided to share one of their bowls, which is not food... One of those giant drinks. It was sweet as I expected, but the room was definitely in there. Not bad for a bowl at all! It happened to be the brunch bowl of the week. Speaking of brunch, they have brunch all day on Sundays which is awesome. It was like 7:00 p.m. and I got a tiki breakfast platter. I enjoyed it! My friend got chicken and ube waffles which looked great, he was kind of enough to give a piece of the ube waffle and it was awesome. And it's cool that the place has multiple levels and it was just a vibe. It's on the tail end of the wharf towards the seafood market, so it kind of stands on its own. I would definitely go back, it was perfect for people watching haha.

My husband Dave and I go almost every month and the food and drinks are fantastic! I will say this restaurant draws a very young audience, but nonetheless we are always down to boogie. My favorites have been the goats whipped cheese, flank steak, patatas bravas, and the empanadas! And the drinks to absolutely die for! I always start Dave and I off with a pitcher of sangria, red of course, but he's not too keen on the fruity drinks so he always gets a beer. Overall experience is a 10000/10 am definitely going back next month. Xoxo Kathy!

One of my favorite go-to spots whenever I'm in DC! Barcelona never disappoints. The food is always…read morefresh, flavorful, and phenomenal, and the ambiance is top-tier. Plus, you never know who you might see while you're there! They also have a great Happy Hour with a really nice selection of food and drinks. Now, I've never been a gimlet girl, but after trying their Richmond Gimlet, my palate was officially expanded! A gimlet is now one of my favorite cocktails. The unfortunate part is that everybody can't make a GOOD gimlet, even though it seems like such a simple cocktail. Barcelona definitely gets it right! If you're looking for good music, a great crowd, delicious food, and even better drinks, definitely check out Barcelona. It's always a vibe!

Not to be confused with Free State Distillery in Upper Marlboro (though many also call it Arthur…read moreWheeler Spirits haha), this place is located just off of the main street in chinatown, and it's surprisingly lowkey. It's a basement bar with a bit of a dive vibe, but it's hard to ignore the nautical, blue crab theme throughout. Turns out that one of the owners is a Marylander, which is cool to see reflected in the decor in a place in dc, even though it is next door. They have a happy hour and they have a great variety of drinks in general. It's bring-your-own-food (BYOF) and there are a bunch of delicious looking Asian spots nearby, including upstairs. It didn't start getting crowded until closer to 10, which, as I said, is surprising for this part of town to me. Everywhere in Chinatown is not going to be packed and busy, and this place is here to remind you of that. Stop by if you're looking for a more chill vibe. Staff are pretty cool.

I think that they do what they do really well and not in a lazy way, as other restaurants in this genre often do. The pizzas are really good as well as the salads. I love a good restaurant salad and theirs are you exception. They also have a really cute mimosa bar on Sundays and I believe you get a bottle of champagne for the table for $25 and then you can build your own mimosa at the station in the front. Overall, a really good option for when you have friends or family in town and want to dine at a place where everyone can find something on the menu that they like.

Trained but not very experienced. So the setting was good for an enjoyable meal. The gluten-free fried zucchini appetizer was delicious as usual. I prefer fried foods to stay crispy; the added sweet peppers affected it, no biggie. The charred golden beets were also tasty. The gluten-free (Vegan without modification) mushroom pizza was full of flavor. Many varieties of mushrooms and vegetables. Didn't get the combination of cheeses requested so some toppings fell off. Some also fell in my mouth, haha. The pork chop was brined and grilled. Very flavorful down to the bone. Also enjoyed especially the Rosé Grenache and beverages. No photographic evidence of this meal, alas, but I recommend this restaurant and location for gluten-free dining.

I tried the Beef Tartare ($19) which came with a quail egg and sunchoke chips on top, a small side salad, and a large bread basket. The tartare was good and the bread was great. For an entree, the Trout à la Grenobloise ($33) was great. It came with mashed potatoes, green beans, almonds, and caper-lemon-brown butter sauce. It was a really nicely cooked piece of fish. The restaurant was larger and the decor more modern than I expected. I also didn't realize it was part of a small chain, with locations in NYC and SF. Service was a little slow at first, but then fine. Overall, a nice, classic French meal.

We had an error with our…read morereservation, and they helped us out, and we only waited about 15 minutes before a table that worked freed up. We were a little squished but couldn't complain. The restaurant itself is decently large with very nice decor. It is definitely on the nicer and intimate side of things but can be decently noisy. Our waitress was very nice and helped give some quick recommendations on their wine list. The food and wine were pretty good, all very enjoyable. - The escargot was delicious - The French onion soup had a healthy amount of melted cheese on top, just a touch salty, but I still enjoyed it greatly. Great wine selection that you cannot go wrong with. Was shocked to see it in DC as I frequent the one in SF. It did not disappoint.
