Beautiful cafe in the hotel at The Wharf. Bottomless mimosas during brunch is a must if planning to enjoy multiple drinks. Comes with an entree so is a great deal. The best part is the waterfront view specially during cherry blossom season.

Good food, friendly and attentive staff, and wonderful views of the wharf. I had a Crispy Shrimp Cobb salad ($22) as I relaxed and looked out at people enjoying themselves on the pier. Look for the orange sign and take the elevator or walk up the stairs to the second floor. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Located close to the Neighborhood Shuttle, so it's easy to get to from the National Mall.

Canopy Central Café & Bar offers an exceptional brunch experience with their standout dish, the chicken and waffles. Without a doubt, it's the highlight of their menu. We also tried the tacos, but they couldn't hold a candle to the deliciousness of the chicken and waffles. The restaurant boasts spectacular views of the Warf, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to experience. The atmosphere is lovely and casual, perfect for a leisurely brunch. However, I felt that it could benefit from some background music to enhance the ambiance. What truly sets Canopy Central apart is their outstanding service. The server and hostess went above and beyond to accommodate our group, which unexpectedly grew from 5 to 8 people during brunch. The server was especially kind and even took special care of my little kid, which we greatly appreciated. Overall, we had an amazing time at Canopy Central Café & Bar, and we'll definitely be returning for the stellar service we received. If you're looking for a great meal with a fantastic view and top-notch service, this is the place to go. Highly recommended!

We were so surprised to find this gem in a hotel on the wharf! My husband especially loved it because we got delicious full-on brunch food in a much more relaxed atmosphere than a lot of DC brunch places. We were at a table by the windows looking out over the water, and had a really lovely meal.

Looking for a brunch place on the waterfront and we chose Canopy because the menu looked good and we wanted a nice view. Got there and wasn't aware that this was the Hilton's hotel cafe. Wasn't what we expected and a bit disappointed but was hungry and it was a nice view and not crowded, so decided to stay. The service was good, but was pleasantly surprised that the Mimosas and the food were all very good. Great presentation and very well seasoned and cooked perfectly. I would definitely go back. Also, seemed they easily accommodated a big party, I would recommend. It wasn't particularly fancy but the service was very pleasant the space itself was very nice and a great way to sit and look out over the Potomac while having Sunday Brunch.

This place was absolutely phenomenal. We had a waitress named Deborah who treated us like family. The food was fantastic and is a good representation of what southern food is supposed to be.

The ambiance is perfect for a relaxing afternoon lunch. The food is tasty: the shrimp and grits are good and the short rib fried rice is absolutely delicious. The service is excellent and the staff is very personable. The location is great for watching the happenings along the Wharf. I will return.

The restaurant was nearly empty and we could barely get service. We had to walk to the hostess station to get our check. A major part of their menu is pizza, and they had no pizza available.

Went here recently with our young kid, and the dinner and view were really nice. Service was incredible, and the food was amazing! Highly recommend the poke nachos and birria fries especially. I'd definitely recommend coming here for a nice meal, and it looks like the balcony and doors open in nicer weather. We'll be back in warmer weather for sure.
It's on the 2nd floor . Great views of the water. Our server and manager were awesome. Food and drinks were delicious. Debra was our server and she is awesome.

Canopy is my favorite restaurant in the SW Waterfront. I love the view of the Potomac, the staff and the food! The food is always flavorful and the right temperature. The staff is very friendly all the time. I highly recommend The Canopy restaurant for a delicious brunch, lunch, dinner or just for a place to go for cocktail!

One of the only open restaurants on thanksgiving not too far from our hotel.The combined bar restaurant is nicely laid out and has a lively ambiance. Not too much food for vegetarians on the menu though. We ordered their ceasar salad and margarita pizza. Their caesar salad is really fresh and good. The pizza was so so as the base was not too good and the pizza had too much cheese which was not mozzarella but and american cheese. Finished of with a nice apple tart dessert. They have a good selection of draft beers, i liked their draft ipa beer.

Love the ambience with the river view! I had the two egg breakfast, and it was great (the eggs were surprisingly not bland). Cool spot for breakfast.

We loved our experience! We came to celebrate our friend’s birthday. Our server, Leyu, was amazing and incredibly friendly. We were checked on often during our dinner and we loved the vibe. They brought our friend out a nice birthday dessert and made us feel so special! We will definitely be back!
