The Grill is located near the Hilton Wharf, a short 10 minute walk. We decided to go for lunch and it was good. We sat outside in the enclosed patio/deck. I had the chopped salad which was really good, and hubby enjoyed his chicken sandwich. Service was a bit slow... tables seated after us got their meals before we did.

Right off the bat the service was good. Our waitress attended to us right away and gave us enough time to order and was coming back frequently but not too much. Three cheese crab fondue - deliciously cheesy. Not too salty or heavy of a feeling. You can definitely taste the crab. Some places you can't see it or even taste it due to how little they give you but they did a great job here. Skirt steak - medium steak. Nice cut and taste. It's kind of hard to mess a steak up but it's also hard to make your steak stand out from a lot of good restaurants. I'd say this place was good. Didn't stand out with it but would come back and order it again. Lighting inside and view outside was very nice. Definitely check this place out.

First time and won't be my last! Taylor was an amazing service! She explained everything to us and allowed us to really enjoy our meals while still checking in! Her personality was bright and perfect for her position!!! I would love to see her working throughout the restaurant! The food was fresh and clean! The drinks were really good as well!! From scratch!!

Perfect location for dinner if you have plans for a show afterwards at the wharf. Nice modern decor and spacious interior makes it an appealing place to dine and have cocktails. The weather was still too cold to eat outside but must be really lovely when weather permits. They had nice menu options. I liked their selection of sides too. I couldn't decided if I wanted to just order them as small plates for my meal. Their steaks do come ala cart. I went with the ribeye. It comes in a generous portion and I should have gone with a smaller cut. It took me a while to figure out if my steak was just tough or my steak knife was dull. Well, it was my knife. I should have said something but I was just focused on finishing my meal because we had to get to our show. Their Mac and cheese had a nice flavor, very cheesy. My husband went with the burger, which he enjoyed. He said the fries were a bit on the salty side. We would definitely return. Service was attentive and helpful... and there are more things we would love to try on their menu.

Great, easy evening steak dinner at The Grill. Casual, slightly upscale steakhouse on the promenade at the wharf provided a warm solo dinner at the bar. The Grill has a modern though comfy interior that brings real warmth from the open grill flames which serve to help.heat the interior. On a late February evening with exterior temperatures in the 49s it had to be a cozy 75+ inside. This heat, however, leads to the singular downfall in my dinner experience: red wines are kept upright in the bar interior, and thus are much too warm. With Chappellet Mountain Cuvee priced at $38 for 8 oz, when a 750ml bottle typically goes for $50, I expect better. Keep some bottles on ice, even, simply to chill the wine. A cooler cabernet would have helped cut the fattiness of the steak so much better. This said, I had an expensive, though very satisfying meal, and I will definitely return. A 16oz ribeye at $68 was a perfectly grilled, hot, juicy, nice exteriored slice of beef. Just the right amount of juicy flavorful fat. The cut was slightly too salty, but this was a nit. I wasn't sending this back! It didn't require any additional seasoning, and the accompanying sauce (I chose chimichurri) was unneeded. An add on of crab cakes (12.50) is a definite do! 2 not tiny, decent sized disc's of real crabmeat are.accomapnied by a small amount of filler, grilled crispy and full of blue crab flavor. Worth every penny. I.was really surprised at how much I enjoyed these. A side of green beans in a basil and cilantro pesto were a bright accompaniment to the ribeye's fatti ess and the savoring ess of the crabcake. Perfect combination, and every element done well. Sitting at the bar, Nancy C, made me feel welcome and attended to. I hope yo see her again. Fabulous person who made a killer vodka + grapefruit. Oh, the flour less chicolate cake with a dollop of vanilla ice cream is perfect. Dusted with some powdered sugar it is warm, appropriately gooey, chocolate and a perfectly end to a good evening. Total bill before tax: $172. Expensive, yeah. Worth it? Yeah, shorty!

The restaurant was located at the wharf which is always filled with such a nice ambiance. When you enter to the left is the front where you can check in. When we arrived we were greeted by our waiter who was very tentative to our needs. They do have anoption called " The mixed Grill" which is $79.00/per person. Which come with a house salad, Grilled asparagus added items were sweet potatoes , deviled eggs with duck mousse and caviar, grilled cheese which is similar to mozzarella sticks but it had a sweet crust with a drizzle of possibly honey or syrup, lamb skewers w/ a tzatziki sauce (Not pictured ). Jumbo shrimp, Ribeye steak, two crab cakes. We did have a reservation which we were able to book through open table. Fun perk of booking is it prompts you to down load the " InKind" app which allows you to receive a welcome reward of $50 off your meal if you pay using the app. I thought that was a great option and encourages your dinning experience. All you have to do is on the top of your check it has a check number you can enter it into the app. Put your card information. Also 20% gratuity is added to your total amount and reminder that you will pay whatever the dc tax is as well. Which also allows you to gain InKind cash for your next meal which you have a wide variety of restaurants to choose from. It was overall a pretty decent experience.

The staff was excellent. The server and staff came by to check on us but it wasn't over the top. Everyone was friendly. Food came out fast. I had the skirt steak the sweet potatoes. It comes with a tiny salad with a really refreshing dressing. Skirt steak was nice and tender. My kid got a kids burger. Heads up- that comes with a juice and an ice cream!! It was a smaller 4oz burger. Fries could have used some salt but great texture!! Really nice experience and we enjoyed it!!
