Best American Restaurants in Waterfront

I am vegan and the server had no problem making sure my meal was dairy-free and meat-free. She even told me there was fish broth in the Miso Soup, which I didn’t order due to her honesty. I think the restaurant should include the fish broth on the list of ingredients on the menu. Every ingredient should be listed when it comes to meat, diary or any spice with heat (cayenne, chili, etc.). Good food, good service. I have never had a bad meal here.

My wife and I had a wonderful Valentine’s Day meal at The Point! The restaurant is a great place to go, giving you a great view of the water. They gave free roses to every woman who came it which was a cool surprise. The atmosphere was very nice. The music wasn’t too loud, there were a lot of cool decorations to look at, and despite being very busy it wasn’t loud or cramped. And the food was amazing. The warm crab donuts were fantastic, the Icelandic cod and crab was delectable, and the fried catfish sandwich was amazing. And if that wasn’t enough, the coconut cake and chocolate praline desserts were incredible. It was an amazing meal and we will definitely be back!

We had an incredible dining experience at Hen Quarter Prime. From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the perfect tone for the evening. The lighting was just right—cozy but not too dim—while the soft background music added to the relaxing ambiance. The service was impeccable, with friendly and attentive staff who made excellent recommendations. The food was the real star of the night—every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor, which was cooked to perfection and paired wonderfully with a glass of wine. Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner spot, a place to catch up with friends, or just a great meal in a welcoming setting, Hen Quarter Prime is a must-visit. We will definitely be coming back.

With so much hype behind the name, you are never sure that a place will live up to the expectation, well that wasn't an issue here. The whole experience was amazing. We arrived early and waited less then 5 mins to get the absolute best table overlooking the new snow fallen harbor. The food was amazing and the drinks were on point. I highly recommend the Beef Wellington and definitely add the truffle butter !! You should expect that a dinner for 2 will be pricy, but it was a fantastic foodie treat.

They have had since 1856 to perfect the art of service. They have not wasted a bit of that time. We had a server and he was fantastic. With that, the entire brigade worked as a fantastic machine and supported the goal of quick and perfect service for the guest. I have never had apps arrive so quickly at a restaurant before. I even threw another order in while ordering our main course and it was on the table 2 minutes later. The quality of the food is top notch as well. The roast beef sandwich had a bit of bite on it that was unexpected but definitely not unappreciated. As I was dinning with my 13 year old son tonight, I also appreciated the non alcoholic options on the drink menu. It was great to have a delicious option that wasn't a soda. Overall, this is a MUST for any visit to DC.
