Pink Tiger on the Wharf

Best Dishes D.C. Editors Ate This Week: September 3 | Eater DC

"I continued to capitalize on the balmy weather at the Wharf’s dolled-up replacement to Kaliwa that opened last winter. The packed waterfront patio lined with fringed pink umbrellas is clearly the place to be this summer, and sounds from a frequently performing singer and pianist add to the vacation vibe. The perfectly grilled shrimp skewers were a Saturday night hit, as was an order of chicken dumplings. The stir-fried pad Thai featuring fresh lime and tamarind sauce was jazzed up with a wagyu beef add-on. Our attentive server Emily made sure the bowl had no trace of peanuts, per my annoying allergy. We decided to skip dessert, so right before the check arrived, she handed us all a round of fun flutes with a neon-lit ice cube bobbing inside each one." - Tierney Plumb
