Bond 45

The wait staff is phenomenal. Sam took care of us and was outstanding. The atmosphere was not great and they sat us at a table that was part of the walkway for the bathroom. I’m surprised they didn’t design the inside better. Food was good but not outstanding for the price. If they have a happy hour I may try that in the future but for a celebration dinner I would go another route.

I came here for a work dinner after a conference and was pleasantly surprised! This was one of the few restaurants that didn't have a ridiculous wait when we were trying to get dinner, so we decided to check it out. Service is really quick and polite. We ordered meatballs to share and I got their crab cake and shrimp for my entree. The meatballs were delicious, saucy, and flavorful. I absolutely loved their crab cakes as it was stuffed with crab meat and not bready at all. It also came with a sweet potato (?) puree and corn, that I thought paired really well with the crab. Would definitely recommend this Italian spot.

Bond 45 is our very favorite place to visit when we’re in National Harbor. The menu is what first led us there last fall, but the staff and the atmosphere are the top reason we keep going back. We love John, Sierra, Anna, Tiara (forgive us for spelling!) and Josh. They are the absolute best, and Bond 45 feels like home because of them. Filet is fantastic and the cocktails and desserts are second to none!

We celebrated Thanksgiving 2026 at this restaurant and overall had a wonderful experience. The interior design is beautiful, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the service was truly excellent. However, two moments worth mentioning. First, when we arrived, the hostess told us that strollers were not allowed inside. Our 15-month-old baby was sleeping in the stroller, so it was unclear what we were expected to do. This was almost a deal-breaker for us, and we would have had to leave if we hadn’t been allowed to enter with the stroller. Thankfully, the staff ultimately let us bring it in, which resolved the misunderstanding. Second, regarding the food: it was fine, but in our opinion, it didn’t match the overall level of the restaurant. The quality felt more like a standard café, even though the prices suggest something more elevated. Because of that, we expected the food to be of a higher standard. Aside from these two points, everything else was great. We truly enjoyed our time here and had a lovely holiday celebration.

We had reservations here for about a month for New Year’s Eve and traveled in from out of town, really hoping for a great experience. Unfortunately, it fell short. While the food itself was good when it arrived, the service was extremely disappointing. One member of our party of seven didn’t receive their meal until the rest of us had already finished eating. We ultimately had to ask for it to be taken off the bill. No manager came over, no apology was offered, and there was no attempt to make things right. When it came time for dessert, we asked for menus and were then told they were out of both cheesecake and tiramisu — something that would have been nice to know earlier. On top of that, for a party of six or more, gratuity was not included, which felt surprising given how unattended the service was throughout the evening. Overall, this could have been a good experience because the food was solid, but the lack of care, accountability, and basic hospitality really overshadowed it. Missing an entire meal at the table and receiving no acknowledgment or effort to fix the situation made the night feel frustrating and disappointing, especially for a special occasion like New Year’s Eve.

Went here for happy hour then dinner. We sat at the bar and the service was fantastic. The bartender did not miss a beat. He was friendly and always made sure our drinks where full. The atmosphere was nice and the happy hour specials were awesome. The food was cooked well but felt some dishes lacked flavor.

A charming spot with a vintage Italian rustic vibe — warm, cozy, and inviting. From the old-world ambiance to the attentive service, this restaurant captures that “gather with family” feeling. The views of the harbor add a lovely touch, and the wine list complements the experience perfectly. We started with the calamari — crisp and golden, paired with a creamy dipping sauce that hit the mark. I had the salmon with fries, and the lobster mac & cheese, which was cheesy and indulgent. The red wine I tried was smooth and paired well with everything. Service was friendly and kind of slow, but during a busy season it was understandable. Overall, it was a wonderful evening that left my husband and I impressed. Still, I’d happilycome back to soak in more of that rustic Italian atmosphere and great food. Food: 4 | Service: 4 | Atmosphere: 4

A top choice for a visit to the harbor! Literally from the ambiance to the service, views of the wharf and live entertainment to the food and cocktails - Kevin was so knowledgeable and helpful when it came to menu recommendations. My mom and I visited for an early seafood dinner. We ordered the pear salad to start (which was phenomenal) with a Bianca Sangria and White Peach Margarita. For dinner, we had lobster ravioli, the crab cake & shrimp and shared broccolini and lobster mac & cheese. They brought out the lobster mashed potatoes instead but quickly corrected the mistake, and we had an extra comp'd side. Overall - this visit left a great impression. I hope to return during their 4-6 happy hour and check out what that vibe is like.

Service was pleasant. However, I was beyond disappointed with the food. My meal wasn't edible. 0/10 roasted potatoes - they were dense,, tasted like they were steamed or boiled first then briefly roasted. The texture was off and I enjoy all potatoes. 0/10 8oz fillet - it wasn't 8oz, maybe 4. Over cooked and they seared crisscross grill marks on it and burned it. The burnt char was all I could taste. 2/10 garlic bread

Why a great night at Bond 45! We are in town for a conference and decided to get a nightcap before heading back to the hotel. We had such a great time it was hard to leave. The staff was for sure the highlight of the night, then the drinks and the dessert. All equally 10/10! The restaurant is very open with plenty of seating at the bar, and tables inside and outside. While we didn't have food, the menu looked phenomenal with a variety of appetizers, pastas, seafood, steak, lamb chops. You'll basically be able to take anyone and they can find something on the menu. We started with the passionfruit margarita which I highly suggest getting. It was just the way passionfruit should be - a little sour and not too sweet. I also had a Bond Blossom which again, was amazing. It's a cranberry infused gin based cocktail. The tanginess of the cranberry and the sweetness of the elderflower was nothing short of perfect. We also split dessert - chocolate cake, cannolis, tiramisu and red velvet cake. I can't say which was my favorite because they were all delicious. I would be cutting my review short if I didn't mention the hospitality of the staff. Everyone was friendly and the general manager made us feel like we were at home. They made an ordinary Tuesday very special. Needless to say, next time I'm at the National Harbor, I will be back!

I've always saw Bond 45 when at the Harbor, and I finally got the chance to try it out. On the day, I went (in summertime), the AC wasn't working and they had big fans throughout the restaurant. We ended up sitting in the covered outside area, which provided some cooler air. The service was nice, but I'd say the food was just alright. I don't think it was something to rave about. I had the seafood risotto and something about it tasted funny. Maybe I just made a bad choice for an entree.

The hostesses did their best to seat me where I preferred but the guests weren't leaving when we were ready. Great calamari...wish there was a larger serving size. The lasagna was nice and meaty I've had much better so wouldn't return. The meatballs same. The rear bathrooms were spacious, nice, and clean unlike the ones up front. Don't go messing them up! Cute restaurant with nice outdoor seating in view of the bandshell. Go, enjoy

Was here for Thanksgiving dinner. The restaurant was decorated nicely and our server really took care of us. I think his name was Eric. He was so sweet and patient with us. I ordered the branzino and it was so good! The skin was nice and crispy. This was my first time here and hope to get back before they close for good.

Great experience with colleagues while visiting for a conference just steps from our hotel. I will say the waiting staff seemed rushed but I know we had a later reservation due to events earlier in the day. The salad was delicious as well as the appetizers (not pictured). They have a moderately extensive menu. I had the seafood risotto. It was mediocre but full of shrimp. I was missing something in the flavor. It was not really well-seasoned but the texture was fairly rich. I like a rich, seasoned risotto like that at Georgia Sea Grill in St. Simons Island, Georgia, which is my favorite. I'd return and would like to try a different entree. The ambiance is old school Italian ristorante.

I was excited to try this please but left disappointed. I do need to give Sam and the staff a shout out for exemplary service. He was great but the rest was not. For a table setting they put us on the end and in the path of the bathroom. Multiple times I had to move in or get up from the table to give access to the long hallway and the bathroom. I would expect that in a food hall not an upscale restaurant. The food was good but not for the price. Strange pricing on the spirits for the menu- some outrageous ranges on the value of what was being served. I would encourage you to try it out for the first time with a happy hour!

I dined at Bond 45 during a recent work trip to Baltimore. Our server was pleasant and attentive, but was uncertain about the ingredients in menu items, making it challenging for members of our group with dietary limitations to feel confident in ordering (vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free). None of the appetizers are vegan, so I wasn't able to enjoy any of these, however our server was fairly confident that the lemon vinaigrette that dressed the house salad was vegan and it was delicious. Similarly, there are no vegan entrees on the menu so my dinner consisted of a platter of sides - roasted mushrooms, green beans, brussels sprouts, and stewed beans - admittedly very tasty but in this day and age where so many people are moving in a plant forward direction I was surprised at the lack of intentionally vegan options. When inquiring about dessert I was not offered a vegan choice, so opted for decaf coffee (very good) while my dining companions sampled the chocolate mousse cake, tiramisu, and vanilla bean cheesecake. On the way out I noticed another patron enjoying a cup of raspberry sorbet, so it appears there was a vegan option about which our server wasn't aware. It was quite loud in the area in which we were seated which made conversation difficult. The following day my throat was a little scratchy from having to shout throughout our dinner. Overall Bond 45 is... fine, but I wouldn't proactively choose to dine here again based on my experience.

When I am craving Italian, Bond 45 always come to mind. I want a nice italain meal in nice inviting Italian restaurant with views of the Potomac River. On this visit, I tried the Lobster Ravioli with the upgrade 1/2lb Lobster upgrade. The meail was well portioned between Ravioli and Lobster. As a Lobster fan, I always want more. The Raviolis were each perfectly cooked. The dish comes with 3 sauce options: marina, alfredo, or mixed 50/50. I had the alfredo sauce but the marinara sauce looked just as good as well. The service was great and servers was very attentive. Of course, after having such a delightful meal, I had to end the meal with a espresso martini. I needed a little coffee, with a kick. I look forward to my next visit.

I had planned to try the Fooduary menu, but the main menu was calling my name--and it did not disappoint! From the moment we checked in, we were greeted with a glass of Champagne (a classy touch!). Our server, Brisayon was top-tier--super knowledgeable, down to earth, and delivered impeccable service. If you visit, make sure you ask for him! What we tried: Lavender Lemon Drop - smooth & refreshing Dancing Shrimp - flavorful with a perfect kick Steamed Mussels - fresh & satisfying Baked Whole Sea Bass - perfectly cooked, packed with flavor Chocolate Mousse Cake - the perfect sweet ending From the service to the food, @bond45nh is a must-visit! It's definitely a gem at the national harbor !

We wanted to experience our favorite restaurant in the National Harbor so we dropped in for brunch. As always, the decor didn't disappoint. Our waiter was friendly. We ordered the steak and eggs, the shrimp and grits, and a house salad for our brunch entrees. We decided on the passion fruit margarita and the Bianca sangria for our beverages. The steak and eggs are accompanied by breakfast potatoes and greens. I asked for my steak to be prepared medium rare but it was on the rare side. While the flavor was great from the char of the grill, the NY steak was a little tough. I don't think I would order it again. My wife enjoyed the shrimp and grits. Both cocktails were good.

The food amazing, staff decent and ambiance was beautiful looking out over the water. We will definitely be back.

I've been to Bond 45 twice (many years apart) and loved both experiences! I recently visited again after visiting the ICE! winter ice sculpture event at the Gaylord National Harbor. I was very cold after that experience, so dinner at Bond 45 was most certainly a welcome experience. I ordered the following: -Old Fashioned (yum! This was a really great drink to complement my meal) -House salad (mixed greens, cucumbers, tomato, lemon vinaigrette) -Chicken Parmigians with pasta pomodoro (this is their house specialty, so I just had to order it and was certainly not disappointed). I've also had their steak when I visited in the past and thought it was amazing (great portions and really great sides that paired well). Everything was delicious! Service also was wonderful (friendly and quick!), the ambiance of the restaurant is homey and cozy while also feeling upscale, and the restaurant is conveniently located right in the heart of National Harbor, right next to the steps that lead down to the pier area. I will most certainly be back!

I had a really nice business dinner here in a private room. The food was very tasty and a good variety. Not inventive but competent. The pricing was fair. I tried a few appetizers - shrimp, bread, and meatballs. All were filling and good but the bread was a bit uninspired. I had an ok salad, a good filet, and nice cannoli. Drinks were a little slow coming but fine. In general the service lagged from fine dining but reasonable for the price point. I had a good time and recommend.

So I was visiting from Dallas for work and decided to take myself to a nice dinner on the harbor. I'm simple, I don't really need much typical easy guest so let's start with the pros Pros: Prices are decent, my sidecar was great outside of not having any garnish and lots of ice the flavor was spot on, and the crab cake was hands down best I've had in the DMV Cons: I ordered the surf and turf medium, it came out med well so I politely asked for it to be cooked to temp, next time it came back med rare - instead of the bartender offering management support she told me she needs to take the steak and that I wasn't being difficult and she gets it ... like obviously I'm not being difficult lol I ordered a medium steak most standard temp and now I've eaten all my other food and they just can't get it right Neutrals: Manager come by and starts with "I heard you're having issues with your food" lol somehow the negative was transferred to me the patron like no I'm not having issues .. you guys are Then she does the typical "we comped blah blah blah and only charged for the crab cake" Well thanks but it's not a favor I didn't get to eat anything else Then bartender tries to be fake nice and offer me a free drink but I declined tipped 10 on the $26 and went in about my night So I'd never be back but I feel this is an isolated incident - and the one bite I of steak I did get to try was actually amazing lol so super sad I didn't get to enjoy that full meal also the ambiance is nice as well compared to other restaurants in the area

I was staying in National Harbor for a convention, and you know what I realize? They have a lot of fantastic happy hours, but they end 6-6:30 mostly, so on a normal day, I can never make them! Anyway, this spot happened to have a special 2-course menu for convention attendees as long as we showed our badges. They had some fantastic options, like salads and garlic bread for appetizers, and burgers, pastas, and even steak frites ($10 upcharge)! I arrived right at 3:00 when they open AND when happy hour starts! So it was deals on deals! I had a refreshing rosa sangria (not rose wine, but malbec!). They had a bunch of food deals too, but I decided to stick to the special convention menu. I got a refreshing house salad and opted for the steak frites option. The taste was fantastic -- I got it medium. I don't get steak often, so I'm not sure if it was as it should've been. It was chewier than I thought it'd be at that temp, but that might be on me. Either way, I loved the vibe of the place and the staff were really nice. They have a lovely outdoor area too. I'd love to return, especially for happy hour (whenever that could be)!

Was staying in National Harbor for a conference and wanted some Italian for dinner. Bond 45 was just a short walk from my hotel. The Ossobuco was fall of the bone tender and delicious. The lobster macaroni and cheese was cooked perfectly. They were out of their Tiramisu so I had the cannoli instead. All was delicious. Service was good. I recommend eating here if you're staying in National Harbor

Yikes. On a recent outing to National Harbor we came here because of relatively good reviews and the water view. Perhaps it was an off night -- but we were not impressed. I got the salmon and mashed potatoes. First off, it was wildly bland. Secondly, there was literally PLASTIC in my mashed potatoes. How? Are they premade and microwaved? Potatoes, generally, do not come in plastic. My salmon was also wildly overcooked. The sauce it came with had an acrid taste to it. My fiance got very overcooked pasta on topped with a giant piece of breaded chicken (chicken was good though). This place, to us, was the epitome of paying for the view.

Had another great meal and amazing service at Bind 45. Went with friends and most of us got burgers and they were amazing. Our waitress Aliyah was THE BEST. We will be back again when visiting the area.

The weather was perfect for outside dining. There was no wait time. We enjoyed the lovely menu on a lovely day. The food came out great. The drinks were delicious. Our server was on point. We will definitely be back.

After having dined here 3 times, I can say that they are solid 4 to 4.5 stars. 1. Walk in, reservation is not necessary unless you want to sit in a particular area. 2. Food: 4 stars. appetizers are amazing here risotto scallops are 3 stars and the steak frites also similar. 3. Service: 4 stars it is a hit and a miss. They are uniformly polite any day but you can tell when the are toying with you and pretend nice versus genuinely just polite when we are treating them with respect. It bothers me when people are fake and don't even hide it but make sure you know it 4. Atmosphere: 5 stars. great to walk after too I would still come here every now and then due to its location.

Had a business dinner last night. Service was good but we had a large party so some of the things we ordered didnt come out quickly. Its a nice restaurant nice decor and the appetizers we ordered were very good. By steak came out cool and was not at a good temperature I ate some of it and left the rest.

I love Bond 45 but please check the female bartender that was working this past Sunday 8/10/25. She is very rude and seemed to have an attitude for no reason at all.

Came here for a friend's birthday last weekend and was pleasantly surprised. This was my first time here and loved every min of the experience. While waiting for the guest of honor, I ordered a drink from the bar which was delicious. After we sat down at our table, I ordered the soup of the day which was a potato soup. I ate that whole thing! Lol it was flavorful. I did expect more chunks of potato but it was all good. For my main entree I ordered the rigatoni bolognese with beed ragu and Alfredo sauce. It was delicious! O could have eaten the whole thing but didn't want to be greedy. Lol I took it home and had it for lunch the next day and it reheated well. Overall the experience was great. Our server...his name slips my mind was great also. He was patient with our party of 8. I def would like to visit again.

The food was amazing. It was very good and would recommend this place to others for a date night or just after work. The service was amazing. Thanks for the experience

Stopped by while roaming around National Harbor! I was quick seated and the server immediately took my order and make recommendations for what to try on the menu. I ended up ordering the roasted salmon with canellini beans. I was pretty good but was way TOO hot. Like I burned my mouth when I tried to take a bit and had to wait awhile for the food to cool down. I do recommend visiting if you're in the area looking for a quick bite and with an Gatsby vibe.

Absolutely loved this place! First time visiting for a bit of a pregame before our lunch at Fogo de Chao. We were doing a staycation at MGM and wanted to come in for their drink menu. Came this past Sunday during brunch time and it was fairly open so it was easy to grab a seat at the bar! The staff was friendly and kind. We were intrigued by their brunch menu so we plan to come back to try it! The ambiance gives old, classic, elegance and the Christmas decorations were a cute touch!

It was pretty nice, typically expensive place to eat down i waterside muuryland pier. $20 cocktails easy, so not surprising. But if you got some richy-rich friends who don't mind high 3 figure bill, this place is legit

I stopped by for a quick bite and sat at the bar , the bartender was supper attentive and asked several times if all is going well! The restaurant is right by the water and has some great views! I ordered the rigatoni bolognese and a passion fruit margarita. Service 5/5 - sat at the bar and the bartender was friendly and attentive! Food 4/5 - the pasta was good , wish it had more flavor! the drink was GREAT!

I'm extremely disappointed in this restaurant and the management since having a bad experience, posting a review and being told to contact STEPHANIE HOLMES - DIRECTOR OF GUEST SERVICES. I called Stephanie Holmes twice now (at her request to discuss my experience) only to be told she's not at her desk. She's not called back and apparently does not have voicemail. Strange. All the way around this restaurant and management is totally dysfunctional and run by inept people. For reference, this is the original review: The food was good. The service was good. What absolutely ruined the experience was when the General Manager (John?) came out and chatted up the table of 6 girls next to us for 30 minutes. I believe he was feeding his ego more than anything. While it's nice to check on your guests, this was rude, obnoxious and in poor "taste" for patrons at a table nearby trying to relax and unwind from a busy day. I couldn't even have a conversation with my husband, as it was too chaotic with loud shrieks, laughter and picture taking. Shame on him for not being considerate.

That was my first time visiting the restaurant. It was a little busy. When we got to the restaurant, we were greeted, but we had to wait a few minutes to be seated. Once we were seated, we started off with two water with lemons. For the appetizer, we ordered garlic bread and Mumbo chicken wings. They were both very flavorful. Then I ordered the Smash burger with fries. They were flavorful as well. The wait time for the appetizer and entree was a bit long. The server was very nice. The restaurant decor was nice. The prices are a little expensive. They don't have a large menu This is a place I would visit once in awhile. I forgot to take a picture of the burger and fries.

Since I moved to the area, I've been wanting to try this location. In part because it reminds me of home where I have fond memories of seeing the Phantom of the Opera and grabbing dinner at their NYC location. Also, I love Italian. I stopped in for lunch on Saturday, and was immediately impressed by the foyer's decor. It has some great pizzaz. The patio is beautiful and the green house looks amazing the color is very vibrant. Once we were sat, we were immediately greeted by our waiter, he was very attentive, maybe a bit too attentive. He kept our drinks filled, and always seemed nearby. The restaurant wasn't busy, so I can understand why but it almost felt like he was rushing us. We started with garlic bread, it was ok. They precut the roll, and top it with parmesan while inside has butter. Afterward, my wife had the seafood linguine and I have chicken parm with rigatoni. The menus headline is the pasta is housemade. You can taste the difference, with the rigatoni, it tasted thicker when compared to a box pasta bought in the store. But frankly, I was not a huge fan of it. The chicken parm was fine. The pomodoro sauce lacked any real flavor. My wife enjoyed her meal, in fact, she enjoyed so much that when I finished mine, after the waiter took my plate, he instinctively assumed my wife was finished and grabbed hers too. She was a bit taken aback as she still had her fork in her hand and had just finished taking a bite. She asked if she could continue and he abruptly put her plate back and handed me a dessert menu shortly thereafter. We both looked at one another in shock, and I tried making light of the situation. We both agreed on the raspberry sorbet. The best part of the entire meal. I would go back, if it was just to order the raspberry, it was delicious. But again, before I could finish the sorbet, (sorbet came with two scoops I hadn't even finished the first) I had the bill placed into my hands. I'm not sure if it was the look my wife had, but I think the waiter finally realized he was rushing us because while she was in the bathroom he asked me multiple times if we felt rushed and my response was yes.

I had a wonderful experience at Bound 45 in Mosaic. The food was fresh and delicious, and the atmosphere was great. Special thanks to our server, Mr Aris and Mr lotfi for the excellent and friendly service!

This places is fabulous! The two hostess gals in front are so sweet. There was two guys that would also come out to talk to certain people and would hug and talk like they were family. I think from conversations heard they were just really long time customers. It has a beautiful atmosphere and a fantastic view of the river and a perfect sunset. I just had take out, I was not super hungry, so got smalls. Arancini stayed hot while I took it to my room. Mwwah its delicious, crisp, full of flavor, beautiful sauce. Yummy! Mac and cheese (hey, why not? Lol) i normally only like my Moms mac and cheese but this was goood! Red velvet cake was not my favorite but it was good.

After 1,054 reviews there probably is not much new to say here but somehow I will find it. I'll start with why it's 4 and not 5 stars. It was the music, not bad but it didn't fit the ambiance. A live musician is pretty much unheard of in the DMV but that would have put it over the top. It was a nice table with an elevated view of the rain washed street. A piano player singing some Sinatra would have made me want to come back again and again. That said, everything else was excellent! The French Lamb Chops and Chicken Parmesan came out earlier than expected and looking like they took extra time preparing them. We wanted some veggies, so an order of Brussels split nicely between us two. The waiter offered dessert but we were so full from all the good food. One look at the dessert menu changed our minds, and so an order of Carrot Cake with to-go boxes for our leftovers was brought out. Thanks for everything Bond 45, we enjoyed celebrating our 15th anniversary with you!

This was my first time here and I enjoyed everything about my dining experience. The ambiance was really nice. We were seated by the window with a view of the Capital Wheel which was nice. Our server was amazing, very polite and welcoming. He also gave us complimentary Prosecco and Limoncello. The food was good as well. The mussels in white wine sauce was good although very tiny mussel meat. The parm wings were tasty, the lobster linguine was flavorful and the lamb chops were really good. Not pictured are the Brussel sprouts which were ok. We asked for balsalmic glaze which made them better. Also, the mac n cheese wasn't that good. It was slightly burnt on the top and watery in the middle. It kinda reminded me of stouffers frozen Mac n cheese. I'd definitely visit again to try other items. Great for a date night.

The lasagna had a good flavor but wasn't the freshest. My friends complained that their slices were a little burnt.

I came here for happy hour and I was pleasantly surprised! It was amazing!!!! The food was amazing! I got the fries passion fruit marg potato's Brussels sprouts and mussels! They all tasted good! The mussels could have been a bit bigger but they were good! Everything all tasted delicious! And all that was only 43 dollars! Super good deal for HH The service was amazing!! They were super nice and got everything out fast and did a great job! this place was higher end! It was so cool how it overlooked the harbor!! The decor was also higher end! I would def come back here :) and recommend it to others!

Bond 45 is one of the many restaurants in the National Harbor--it is best to make a reservation as they can get pretty busy. I enjoyed the fish of day which was served with potatoes and string beans. It was tasty but I was happy I ordered an appetizer to ensure I was full. I'd highly recommend the friend calamari and shrimp. I ended up giving this place 3 stars because our service was lackluster, we were greeted and the server answer all of our questions. It was downhill from there... it took forever for water to be refilled, our server never returned and we had to flag other wait stuff to order dessert and get our check. For dessert, I got the cheesecake and I'll say if you're interested in getting this, check out The Furlough Cheesecake a block away.

The food was amazing, woke up the next day wishing they were open at like 10am. Server Kevin was top tier really made the experience an amazing girls night out and we can't wait to go back!

Joining friends for dinner, it was a central location to all meet. National Harbor is a nice location and has lots to see. Greeted when we arrived, very nice decor. Had reservations, but we arrived early and were seated right away. The server was friendly and attentive. Ordered some appetizers..wings, caprese, meatballs and prosciutto. For those that are low carb..wings are not breaded ordered with parmasean, and for caprese ordered balasmic on side. Not large portions but good. For dinner, I had wedge salad, which was a good portion and good. Others had Caesar salad with roasted chicken, short ribs, ribeye, lamb chops.No complaints with food, all stated it was good, didn't get the "it was fantastic" vibe. Food was good but didn't wow us for the price. On that note, be prepared it is a pretty pricey check/bill. I would say good place for a special occasion.

We were seated right away at a very nice table. The server came by and took our drink orders. When the drink arrived soon we placed our food order. I got salmon and he crab cakes. Food was very nicely prepared. I had some coffee for dessert. Highly recommend Bond 45 for a lovely dinner for work or friends.

Bond 45 was A O K. My toddler niece and toddler son liked the spaghetti and meatballs very much. If you love a very saucy dish, this may be for you. The meatball tasted pretty good but may have had a little too much 4C or whatever they use for breadcrumbs for my taste. I had the seafood linguini and it was okay. The service was ok - they sat us in our own little private area since we had a large party. The area even had saloon doors to separate the party. The server could have been a little more patient with us - I couldn't help but feel he was trying to push us to make an order. I couldn't put my finger on it but there appeared to be a disconnection with how the restaurant looked outside vs how it looked inside vs how it looked at our seated area - it was as if the restaurant aged as we went from the entrance to where we sat. Plus, it felt modern at first but turned into an old school Italian Restaurant. I didn't mind that, I just thought the message of it being an Italian restaurant could have been conveyed throughout. Even the gentlemen serving us appeared to have Italian accents which threw me off at first but was an indication, "okay this is an Italian restaurant right down to the theming here." Also (and this could be ignorance at play so my apologies up front) - if your restaurant has the name "Bond" in it - are you sort of predisposed to having a certain aesthetic that matches the name? I saw nothing of James Bond in it and it confused the heck out of me. But at the end of the day, if you like seafood, and if you are in the mood for Italian food and have a large party, the give this place a go!

Came for happy hour for a quick drink and some apps. Ordered the Arancini and Mussels. Both tasted great! The rice ball could have came out hotter. Seemed it was a little luke warm. Will be back to try the rest.

We enjoyed our meal. Typical Italian food. Big portion sizes. The service was incredible! Our server went across the street to a different restaurant to get a condiment we requested. Good ambiance and vibes.

This establishment is gorgeous inside. It is also right on the water and they offer outdoor seating as well. Our server Bryce was phenomenal, he was attentive and knowledgeable about their offerings. We had: -Caesar salad: best Caesar salad I had all weekend -prosciutto and burrata: very fresh and delicious -bond 45 wings (mumbo) : seasoned and fried to perfection -lobster linguine: the lobster was sweet and a nice size -chicken parmigiana: dissatisfied. The sauce lacked flavor however the chicken was tender. -French lamb chops: DELICIOUS! -shrimp stuffed branzino: nicely prepped, a very tasty flaky white fish. -seafood linguine: tasty I would come back here. It's a pretty nice place for dinner before you go explore the national harbor.

First off the location is awesome Right on the water and the vibe inside is really cool. Sort of prohibition kind of vibe. Our server was awesome. We had a party of five and three separate checks which they don't really do but she did for us. She was attentive and funny. My wife ordered the crispy chicken sandwich. It was very tasty and little spicy and had good crunch with maintaining a savory flavor. She cleaned her plate. I ordered the stake frites. Perfectly cooked to mid rare. NY strip steak with large cut fries and a peppercorn gravy. The gravy was ridiculous so tasty so flavorful The old fashions were great too.
