Best Lunch Restaurants in Southwest Waterfront

We have been to a number of Hell’s Kitchens, mostly with excellent results but sometimes not so much. Our experience in the Washington DC restaurant was outstanding. All aspects of the experience were at the very high level we would expect. The service was excellent and we had warm and accommodating attention the whole night. One of the wait staff even went the extra mile and secured for my daughter the iconic Hell’s Kitchen pin! Kitchen was operating on all thrusters! We had filet, short ribs, and salmon, all of which were cooked to perfection. The sides of potatoes au gratin, macaroni and cheese, and braised brussel sprouts were also exceptionally tasty. Finally, the Caesar salad they brought out was enough for the whole table. The only ding I would say was that it was a bit noisier than we prefer and we did have the unfortunate luck to be seated next to a booth that did have two small children who were a bit rambunctious and noisy. But having had four children ourselves who are all now grown, we well understand and accept the travails of taking young children out to dinner. Overall, our experience was excellent and we will return again when next in DC.

Great restaurant in a wonderful waterfront location. Service was timely, food quality was very good and the restaurant design is a feast for the eyes.

Some of the nicest restaurant staff I’ve met in DC and all of the food literally melted in my mouth it was so good! Definitely recommend trying the butter biscuits with homemade peach jam as an appetizer.

A very inviting establishment with very good food.

The French onion and mussels appetizers as well as drinks were great, but a bit pricey if not on happy hour. Salmon and braised chicken entrees were fantastic as well as the creme brulee and latte. Also, for sure use the inKind app for discounts and cash back.
