"Enjoy waterfront views with rosé in hand at The Grill’s new Rose Garden. The patio is refreshed for warmer weather with a new floral backdrop perfect for people-watching and boat observing. They offer 5-, 7-, and 8-ounce pours, as well as spirit-free spritzes." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"This newer addition to the Southwest Waterfront came on the scene right before the pandemic, in February 2020. From the team behind nearby Mi Vida, the focus is on wood-fired cooking, and many menu items are offered simply grilled with a choice of sauces. A customizable martini menu includes an extensive selection of vodkas and gins. There’s also ample patio seating, and pickup/delivery ordering is available here." - Tierney Plumb
"The Grill is one of those places that solves the special occasion dilemma for anyone dealing with a picky eater—making it the easiest Wharf spot to take your 35-year-old partner who has barely graduated from chicken tenders and fries. The American restaurant covers the basics, like the pimento cheese and onion jam burger that you’ll see on almost every table. The Grill stays pretty crowded, and tables are so squished you have to apologize to your neighbor when you head to the restroom. But that also makes it harder for your eyes to wander around the room, since you’ll be staring right into the eyes of the person next to you. Better to focus on the person you came with." - tristiana hinton
"The deal: $25 brunch and lunch menus, $65 dinner menu The Grill is a solid option for picky eaters, and a reliable Wharf date night pick. Whatever you come here for, if the onion jam burger is on the menu, add it to your table—you’ll likely clock it on the majority of the ones around you, too." - team infatuation
"Situated near Market Pier at the far end of the Wharf, The Grill is the spot to enjoy wood-fired American cuisine, luscious steaks, and Potomac views for brunch, lunch, or dinner." - Tierney Plumb, Abi Newhouse
