Restaurants near National Harbor

“Top Chef alumni Edward Lee created the menu and we did their family meal to get a bit of everything.
Many different dishes organized into 3 overall courses.
Well thought out menu taking southern roots with Korean touches. All was pretty tasty.
Starters - Deviled egg tasty. Cornbread with Mike's hot honey moist and tasty. Fried green tomato salad very nice. Smoked chicken wings were good, but forgettable.
Mains - blue catfish - tasty. The chicken and waffles was good in taste, but sadly my chicken thigh was hammered and was very dry. Pork spareribs were tasty, but the thought was a bit too fall off the bones and missed some texture (am a competition BBQ Judge and cook, so my point of reference is CSI level bite marks in the meat, but know most people prefer fall of bones.) Mac and cheese solid. Collards were good.
Desserts - hummingbird cake truffles and chocolate bourbon mini pecan pies were solid.
Drinks were solid.
Service was top notch, with clear explanations of dishes.”

“Great time, good food and great music”

“Located in Tanger Outlets, it’s just the break you need in between your shopping spree.
The cinnamon bites and pretzel bites (hotdog) are my favourites. They also have pepperoni. Pair your pretzels or bites with their signature lemonade or another of their featured drinks.

Vegetarian options: The cinnamon ones are vegetarían

Parking: There’s parking at the outlets

Kid-friendliness: Of course kids love pretzels and nuggets.”

“Love this place. They also have so many great choices and blind boxes, labubu as well”

“Great food and excellent service. John was fantastic. 100% recommend”

“Must have the Mochi fantastic”

“Great waiter- delicious food, unique and cooked perfect! Music and vibes were very very fun!!!”

“I love this place! The food is phenomenal! I can’t get over the tempeh burger!!!”

“Amazing cocktails and wonderful cuisine! Cool atmosphere and timely reservations!”

“Incredible Tour of the World menu!”

“Amazing! The sushi tasting menu was exceptional and filling! Delicious and whimsical cocktails. Bar in the back, very hip and chic workout being pretentious. Wagyu beef skewers from the bar was one of the best things I’ve ever had. All the skewers were amazing and the fried chicken and other bar snacks are classic bar foods, but way elevated- can not wait for the rest of the space to open!”

“All of my experiences at L’Ardente have been phenomenal. The food, the atmosphere, and the service are all top notch!!!”

“A thoughtful shared plates experience. We followed the wise recommendations of our server and were rewarded. Nice spot. Excellent yet not pretentious.”

“Brunch is amazing. Bottomless margaritas and the churros are excellent!”

“Amazing! Always my stop in DC!”

“Fun night for two out of towners! Food was amazing and the staff were incredibly friendly, even though we’re two or three times their ages and not cool at all! ;)”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Best in town for food and drinks.”

“We went for the summer restaurant week. You get a cold and a hot appetizer, assortment of sushi and a dessert. We opted for the soft shell crab and shabu shabu ramen, both were delicious and served hot out of the kitchen. Sushi is top quality and decadent of course. Hojicha pudding is uniquely toasty and silky.

Not all RW deals are worth going, but I’d recommend the selection at sushi taro for the quality and the value of the food.”

“Elegant setting. Beautiful decor. Stellar service. Innovative and delectable cuisine. Bonus points for mocktail options.”

“Yum yum Fantastic food and great service Highly recommend”

“Finding a Filipino restaurant isn’t easy. So learning about Purple Patch thru Jo Koy—has ended this search! Literally, Filipino cuisine heaven! The restaurant is uniquely decorated, the staff were friendly, & the food hit that major comfort button for us! Thank you Zahara for being so sweet & a wonderful waitress. We can’t wait to come back for more!”

“Albi is exceptional! Such a great evening with amazing food. The only, and very small, issue we had was the volume in the restaurant. We had a hard time hearing the server a few times. Nonetheless the food was fantastic and the wine pairing really topped the evening off.”

“Wow! Probably one of my new favorite spots in DC! Literally everything we tried was phenomenal - and I think these are the best fries I've had in DC! I got Madam VP Heritage, and my husband got the Mumbai Mariachi. Our kids got the Classique Grilled Cheese, which was delicious (I want to know what bread they used) and perfectly balanced with the ham and Swiss. We finished our meal with the alfajores, which I didn't get a photo of because we gobbled them up. But I was incredibly impressed with the food and service. Reasonably priced (especially for where it's located), bright and airy. It is a bit small, so it would be difficult to accommodate a large group, but there's plenty of seating, and there were several folks here reading and just hanging out on a Friday mid day. I can't recommend this spot enough - as a gastroadvocacy spot, it was already intriguing enough, and the diverse (and changing) menu is exceptionally executed! Excited to come back and try more things on the menu - with a side of fries!

Vegetarian options: There are very clearly labeled vegetarian and vegan options. It's not an extensive selection, but they are delicious!

Parking: It's definitely in a difficult area to find parking since it's in the heart of the city and close to many tourist attractions.

Kid-friendliness: There is no kids menu, but it's reasonably kid friendly otherwise. Our kids really enjoyed the grilled cheese and fries and cookies. May not be suitable for children who are very picky.”

“It was fabulous! I loved how much thought went into the meal and the whole place showed the care and love behind the creations. The food and service were spectacular!”

“An amazing dining experience!”

“Best dogs and you will not meet a more pleasant and thoughtful person than Sami.”

“Great food great service!”

“I'm from Texas and have been dying to find a breakfast taco spot. I might as well have been in my mom's kitchen, eating tacos on a Sunday morning. that's how amazing La Tejana tacos are!”

“Agora DC made my husband’s surprise birthday dinner party one to remember! From the superior customer service and professionalism of their special events management team, including Tsednia Abay, to the Michelin Star-worthy food and service, no detail was left untouched. Thank you to your entire team!😍”
