Arrived on a very busy Saturday night and were seated promptly. My guest and I both selected Voyage entrees which included a starter (we chose salads) in the price. The salads were outstanding and a large size. Then the entrees we chose were Bourbon Salmon and Lobster Carbonara. Both were served piping hot and were excellent and enjoyed very much. Many festive holiday decorations in the National Harbor area to see before or after dinner.

Hosts did not greet me. It took over 15 min to get a server to greet us and take our drink order. The deal for the food was decent. Service got better throughout the night.
