Highly recommend! Staff was awesome, attentive, very customer centric. Food was fantastic! My wife had the salmon, I had the petite filet which you could've cut with a butter knife. Sweet potato side glazed to perfection. Dean and Patricia read more

The Grill serves up solid food and service. I visited on a very busy Saturday night with a reservation for 6 people at 6:30 PM. I tried the lobster roll ($39) and Cajun Branzino ($49) and both were good. The lobster roll was Maine-style -- cold with mayo -- which is not my preferred style, but it was still pretty good. The side of fries were great -- crispy and well-seasoned. I liked that the lobster roll had a specific price on the menu and not just "MP." The branzino was also very good. Everyone else had good things to say about their dishes, which included the clam chowder, seafood linguini, and caesar salads. Service was good but uneven in spots; there were some nice touches, but also a few misses. For example, they poured the canned beer for us tableside and remembered a guest's birthday with a small slice of cheesecake (free). But, they forgot crackers to go with the clam chowder, didn't deliver dishes to the correct people, and were a few minutes late bringing the last entree after all the others had arrived. It was a busy night, but also they should be used to that. We sat in the back dining area and the ambiance was fine. read more

We dined here on a Saturday after exploring The Wharf. I booked a reservation for lunch, so there was no wait and we were promptly seated on the patio. Being as I seldom get weekend days off, it totally did not occur to me that it would be more of a brunch menu than a traditional lunch menu- which was totally fine. We were starving so we started out with the Three Cheese Crab Fondue as an appetizer. It was really good- and definitely really hearty. There was an ample amount of lump crab meat in the dip, so we definitely got our money's worth. If you love melty cheese and crab- you'll love it. The only downside was the bread was on the unimaginative side. To have a stellar fondue and have a meh bread to put it on undermines the dish as a whole. For my entree I got the Coconut Cardamom French Toast. This was a truly elevated FT variety and was a five-star dish all the way. It wasn't too sweet and was like something you'd get at a luxury resort. Service was fine. Our waiter was good and a manager came by to check on us. Since we dined on the patio, this is a great place to people watch, but just be mindful of the time of day. We were fortunate to have a table where we were shaded from the sun, but some of the other tables seem to be right in the blaze of mid-day. Overall the grill is a nice place and the food was very good. I'd definitely be back sometime to try other things on the menu. read more

This was the perfect place to stop for a drink after a concert. The bartenders were friendly, and the drinks were excellent. The menu looked delicious but we had already eaten. I will make a note to try the menu the next time we are in the area. By the time we finished our drinks, concert traffic had eased up some. I would rather sit and have a cocktail then sit in traffic any day. read more

Lower taste than what I remembered from 2022. Service was lack luster as well. It was great sitting outside until it got too hot. The key lime pie as the birthday perk was a nice touch. Their grill punch was good and the espresso martini with baileys was perfect! read more

Very nicely decorated restaurant located in the Wharf. They have a special going (I think) from 4 - 6 pm every day for $39.00: you can select from a limited menu 1 appetizer, 1 entree and 1 dessert. Awesome deal! I got a side salad with their house tomato vinegar dressing, the half chicken and a trio of ice cream scoops. Everything was seasoned well, I would say that the chicken tho was very dry. Service was great! I would check this place out for that daily deal alone. IYKYK! read more

The Grill - Half chicken, part of their $39 daily special! - American Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Very vast menu. The cocktails are excellent. They specialize in martinis. The "dirty little secret" martini their basic house martini is surprisingly high level! It's way better than any other high end martini I have had at other martini specialized bars. Food is great quality. The crab fondue is perfect for 2 people to share. Excellent service. Chelsea goes above and beyond! Definitely a 1st class bartender. My wife and I like the low key lighting and atmosphere. Bar seating is plentiful with views of the water. They offer happy hour and dinner specials. Outdoor seating is available when it's warmer! Lastly, They have allagash white beer on tap! I usually go for martinis while I am here. But one day, will make an exception. This is a solid place for a local to frequent. read more

The food is really good but the place is pricey for lunch. I had the house made vegetable burger with sauteed cauliflower with pine nuts. My dining companions had burgers. Everything was delicious and the service was top notch. The menu is varies with something for everyone. The dining area is on the nicer side and right on the wharf. read more

One of the few really good restaurants on the wharf. Great every time I've been there.

I met up with a girl friend of mine who I haven't seen in months. We enjoyed the grill punch, while munching on spicy tuna bites and splitting the grill burger. The environment was quiet -- perfect for a girl friend date -- even romantic date. The staff were friendly...I would say they probably weren't as attentive even though the bar was pretty empty...though my friend and I were chatting up a storm. So many they didn't want to bother us. Overall, great experience. I would definitely go back for happy hour again. read more

We love the Grill and make a point to go very often. The atmosphere is upscale casual (appropriate for the water front in DC). Enrique is our favorite bartender (happy hour at the bar on sundays). Jacqueline is one of the managers and she leads a great team. All are attentive and care about providing a great experience. The food is quality and the Grill punch does not disappoint. I enjoy the lamb skewers, calamari, seasoned fries, burger (all on the happy hour menu). Outdoor seating is available and the bar is great too. We see families and brunch goers or couples -- it seems to work for all. We love to support good restaurants and businesses and the Grill is great! read more

I stopped by The Grill at the Harbor while visiting The Wharf, craving a good steak. I ordered the New York Strip, cooked medium-well, and while the price was steep at $51, I was really in the mood for steak, so I went for it. The ambience was very nice relaxed and upscale without being too formal. The crowd was minimal, which made for a quiet dining experience. My server was polite, though not particularly engaging or attentive. The steak itself was decent, though not necessarily memorable for the price point. That said, this seems like a great spot for drinks at the bar especially if you're already walking around The Wharf and looking for a place to unwind. Overall, I'd recommend this spot more for cocktails and atmosphere than for the food alone unless you're really craving steak like I was. read more

Food was delicious. Salted-honey herb rolls are a must! I usually like fish or a meat dish when I eat out, but decided to try the grilled veggies with farro. It was delicious and filling. Sweet potatoes are a definite must try as a side. Nancy was our server and she was attentive and provided great service. Friendly managers. read more

I came out here randomly because I had a credit card dining credit to burn and this spot was one of the places that accepted the credit. I came midday for brunch. Although I was sat fairly quickly, the front staff didn't seem that engaged. My server though was very charming and helpful. Before I came here I looked at the menu online and didn't have high hopes, as nothing stood out except for the high prices. But again, I had a credit to spend. I was pleasantly surprised because what we ordered was very good. Deviled eggs, clam chowder, and the pork shoulder hash. I took my mom who is hard to please when not eating Vietnamese meals and she enjoyed it too. I'm glad when places surpass what I expected and this spot certainly did that (Though I still think their prices are high for what they're serving.) read more

Amazing happy hour! We tried the crispy tuna rice, oysters, crab deviled eggs and a few martinis. Pretty good prices especially being on the wharf and we received great service in the bar area. read more

So, this is just another restaurant /bar on the District Wharf, that being said the food was quite tasty. The Mussel's .... they were mouth watering fantastic and what made it so good was the white wine, blue cheese, chipotle, cream sauce that they were soaking in. The Lamb kabobs with very tasty. The Grill Burger was good. Overall, really enjoyed our time here. Staff was great, especially David, our server. He was very attentive, accommodating, knowledgeable and very welcoming. We would stop here again and try their grilled upside down pineapple cake. read more

Today is my birthday. I am visiting DC from Houston, Texas. I had a great experience here. I ordered from the Sunset menu which is pre fixe and offered from 4-6pm. I had the clam chowder, grilled salmon and the flourless chocolate cake for just $39. Everything was delicious and the portions were very generous. The service was excellent too. The staff went above and beyond for my birthday. I sat outside on the patio facing the waterfront. It was a lovely afternoon. I recommend this place! read more

I went to The Grill for dinner last night and had an incredible experience. The weather was perfect, so we opted for outdoor seating, which added to the vibe. Our server, Natalia, was attentive and made sure everything was just right from start to finish. I started with the Grill Punch--it was huge, super refreshing, and the grilled mango garnish added a delicious twist. My date and I ordered the Mixed Grill special ($79 per person), and it was well worth it. It came with about five starter bites--the bacon-wrapped dates and fried cheese were definite standouts. For the main course, we had a medium-rare ribeye, two lump crab cakes, and grilled shrimp, all paired with their chimichurri sauce. Everything was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. We chose the grilled sweet potatoes as our side, and they were absolutely to die for. We finished off the meal with the pineapple upside-down cake--massive and insanely good. The Grill never disappoints. I can't wait to go back! read more

The Grill came up as a top rated result for burgers in the SW quadrant of DC. Yelp said that it was inexpensive, with two dollar signs, Google has three. The Grill's burger is over $20 so, it a bit more than I expected. There is a 20% gratuity recommendation, which seemed high given the quality of service. We were about to sit at the bar because the greeters were playing around and hadn't noticed us. After getting their attention, they seated us in a high traffic area booth by the bar which was fine. We weren't dressed nicely because we weren't expecting a two dollar sign burger place named The Grill to be fine dining. It was after sunset and the lights were low but a nice moveable light illuminated the table, and looking at the menu you can order a tomahawk steak for over $140, other delicacies as well... Flashing lights in the peripheral caught our attention. Looking up, we saw some people were getting photos taken by a professional photographer in the hallway to the restrooms. We are probably in the background of somebody's pictures. I went and washed my hands and tried to see what was so special about the hallway. The evening went on, I ordered the Evolution Exile Red ale. It has a smooth draw, a malty flavor light on the tongue, and snaps with hoppy aftertaste. The alcohol content must be up there because my head started to bobble. I handed over the keys to my wife and enjoyed the beer. We were lucky to have found parking on the street so, we didn't have to worry about wandering through the parking garages of the Wharf again trying to figure out how to get to where we parked. The Grill burger was thick with sweet onion marmalade, bacon, and cheese. Herb seasoning on the fries was perfect, and the aioli sauce was a nice addition. We didn't go for the deserts but I thought about the sorbet. There's s'mores outside on the boardwalk. read more

We ventured to The Grill for the first time and loved it. They offer a sunset dinner deal during week days that gives you a three course meal for $39 that is served from 4 pm until 6 pm. We started with two of The Grill martinis, which came with a fun grilled onion accoutrement. The price was not too steep for a Wharf restaurant. We then started with the side salads, I had the salmon, and we finished with ice cream and the chocolate cake. For the dinner deal, this spot was definitely worth it. Our server was very polite and attentive and the restaurant was bright and appropriately noisy for a Monday evening. Thank you for a great experience! read more

We have been to The Grill a few times now. The food is always exceptional and the service is always friendly. It is a go-to when we have time to eat before a show at the Anthem.

Perfect location for dinner if you have plans for a show afterwards at the wharf. Nice modern decor and spacious interior makes it an appealing place to dine and have cocktails. The weather was still too cold to eat outside but must be really lovely when weather permits. They had nice menu options. I liked their selection of sides too. I couldn't decided if I wanted to just order them as small plates for my meal. Their steaks do come ala cart. I went with the ribeye. It comes in a generous portion and I should have gone with a smaller cut. It took me a while to figure out if my steak was just tough or my steak knife was dull. Well, it was my knife. I should have said something but I was just focused on finishing my meal because we had to get to our show. Their Mac and cheese had a nice flavor, very cheesy. My husband went with the burger, which he enjoyed. He said the fries were a bit on the salty side. We would definitely return. Service was attentive and helpful... and there are more things we would love to try on their menu. read more

What an excellent dining experience. We started out with the deviled eggs and the mussels. The deviled aha were delicious and the mussels were outstanding. The broth from the mussels were absolutely amazing. We had to get some extra bread for the broth. For our entrees I had the bbq ribs which were really good. My girlfriend enjoyed the burger.

The Grill - Grilled Sweet Potatoes delicious. Bad picture!! - American Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

The restaurant was located at the wharf which is always filled with such a nice ambiance. When you enter to the left is the front where you can check in. When we arrived we were greeted by our waiter who was very tentative to our needs. They do have anoption called " The mixed Grill" which is $79.00/per person. Which come with a house salad, Grilled asparagus added items were sweet potatoes , deviled eggs with duck mousse and caviar, grilled cheese which is similar to mozzarella sticks but it had a sweet crust with a drizzle of possibly honey or syrup, lamb skewers w/ a tzatziki sauce (Not pictured ). Jumbo shrimp, Ribeye steak, two crab cakes. We did have a reservation which we were able to book through open table. Fun perk of booking is it prompts you to down load the " InKind" app which allows you to receive a welcome reward of $50 off your meal if you pay using the app. I thought that was a great option and encourages your dinning experience. All you have to do is on the top of your check it has a check number you can enter it into the app. Put your card information. Also 20% gratuity is added to your total amount and reminder that you will pay whatever the dc tax is as well. Which also allows you to gain InKind cash for your next meal which you have a wide variety of restaurants to choose from. It was overall a pretty decent experience. read more

Service is hit-or-miss, but overall they have a pretty decent happy hour. It starts at 12 at ends at 6. It's even on Sundays too. The bar is very large and tends to get busy around 4-5. Happy hour is also outside on the patio. The Grill Punch is pretty good for $9. It's large, refreshing and flavorful. The Pinky and the Brain cocktail is frozen, but boozy. The seasoned fries are really good. I also really enjoy the Cobb Salad and the Grilled Chicken sandwich. Some bartenders are friendlier than others. read more

Since it was beautiful outside we decided to hit the Wharf and grab brunch at The Grill (our first time there). They offer a "bottomless" option for $34.99 on top of your entree's price which in my opinion is worth it bc you can choose between many different cocktails (traditional mimosas and bloodys included) and mix and match. The Grill Punch was SLAMMING and was my favorite! The 3 Cheese Crab Fondue .... TO DIE FOR!!! I would come back just for that. The express lunch was a good deal as you can choose between different proteins and it's accompanied by herbed fries, a side salad and sorbet or ice cream. Our server was amazing as was the GM! Both ladies were top notch and made us feel like VIPs. We will definitely be back. read more

Great ambiance and very prompt and friendly service. We sat outside on the Wharf, and that view made the experience just that much better. My wife got pork ribs and she said it was the best and leanest cut of ribs she ever had, she said the BBQ sauce wasn't great, but not terrible. I had the burger with caramelized onions and I would definitely order it again. My kids both got items from the kids menu and the prices were actually reasonable for a pretty expensive restaurant and the portion sizes were good too. We didn't order drinks but all the people around us did and it looked like they were having much more fun than us. We would come back for sure. read more

The grill was a pleasant evening. plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Great for large or small groups. I ordered the grill special drink. It was an excellent punch.

We had a reservation at The Grill at The Wharf on a Friday around 6:30 PM. The interior is modern and stylish, welcoming vibe and nothing too over-the-top. We were seated right away, and service throughout was attentive and accommodating. Appetizer: The Bites Platter Highly recommend this. It's a great way to start the meal, especially if you're with a group. For the three of us, the platter was perfect, we each got one of every item. Standouts included the bacon-wrapped dates, which were rich, savory, and perfectly balanced. The deviled eggs were just okay, but still enjoyable as part of the variety. For the price and portion, this is a solid value and a fun way to share. Grill Cheeseburger & Herb Fries// This burger was very good. It was cooked exactly to order and came with a flavorful bacon jam that really elevated the flavor. It's a hearty portion - easily splittable if you're not starving. The herb fries on the side were good, though the herbs didn't stand out as much as expected. Still crispy and well-seasoned overall. They don't offer ranch (which felt a bit surprising), but there are other dipping sauces available. Mediterranean Chopped Salad with Shrimp// This was a very generous portion. The salad itself was fresh and flavorful, and we added shrimp for protein. You get three large shrimp, which were cooked and seasoned well. They were great, but for the price, one or two more wouldn't have hurt. --- Overall Experience Service was friendly and efficient. We never felt rushed, but everything moved along smoothly. Prices were reasonable for the area and portion sizes. read more

I recently dined at The Grill with two friends. We opted for the three-course prix fixe sunset menu, which was a solid deal at $39. Starters: Two of us chose the house salad, which consisted of romaine, tomato, red onion, and radish dressed in a tomato vinaigrette. It resembled a pre-packaged salad you'd find at the grocery store--nothing special. The standout starter was the grilled cheese. It sounded simple, but it was surprisingly delicious. Main Course: For our mains, we each tried something different. One friend had the shrimp linguine with herb pesto, while I went for the grilled Atlantic salmon served with black rice, sautéed spinach, and lemon-herb butter. The salmon was nicely grilled but salty and the rice had a prominent taste of butter that I was not fond of. Our other friend enjoyed the petite filet paired with parmesan-whipped potatoes and green beans in bordelaise sauce. Dessert: We all ordered the flourless chocolate cake with vanilla bean ice cream. The cake boasted a rich, dense chocolate flavor; however, it could have used a balancing element--perhaps a raspberry sauce to cut through the intensity. Service: Service was impeccable! The hosts, bartenders, and our server were pleasant and courteous. Ambiance: The atmosphere was modern and sophisticated! While we opted to dine indoors, patio seating is also available. Special Note: The women's bathroom was clean, featuring dim lighting and a pleasant cinnamon scent. read more

Where do I start? As soon we stepped through the door the excellent service began. We were escorted out to the veranda to a wonderful table with light jazz playing in the background. It was a perfect night for alfresco dining, and the food made it even better! I ordered the Caesar salad with anchovies. He asked if I wanted to hold the anchovies, but I always believe that it's best to try what the chef has prepared first to get the whole experience. I wasn't wrong to take that chance. The Caesar salad was excellent. My honey ordered the barbecue spare ribs, which came with french fries. Even though I said I wasn't gonna have any protein, I had to try the ribs and they were delicious! Our server Roberto suggested some wonderful cocktails and of course they were fantastic! He was kind, courteous and funny! We didn't have dessert because we didn't have any room left to eat another bite, but this won't be our last time dining at The Grill. If you're looking for a chill place, with good music and relaxed vibes, you need to try this place. Plus...the most important part, the food is excellent! read more
