"Our first group lunch comes in episode 3 when the ladies convene down at the Wharf to discuss an upcoming trip to Lake Norman in North Carolina. They sipped on drinks in the form of rosé, Champagne, mezcal over ice, and a spicy nonalcoholic beverage before collectively sharing a charcuterie board. The spot has also started serving sushi and redecorated this summer, but that changeover seems to have happened after this episode was filmed." - Vinciane Ngomsi, Tierney Plumb

"A high-end cocktail and dessert garden opened this spring at the foot of fancy Wharf condo building Amaris. Zooz comes from the family behind Urban Roast DC, Penn Quarter’s popular cafe and sangria bar (which plans to add a location next to Zooz later this year). For their showy sophomore project, a 4,000-square-foot shell space was transformed into a polished lounge that takes extravagant design tips from Vanderpump Cocktail Garden in Caesars Palace Las Vegas. Elaborate cocktails, presented tableside on roaming bar carts, can come with a single-serving dessert pairing like tiramisu or creme brulee." - Tierney Plumb, Vinciane Ngomsi
"Get fancy drinks and dessert at this upscale bar at the Wharf. Zooz is open until midnight Sunday-Thursday and 2am on the weekends, and they have a dress code that stops just short of “wear a jacket and tie.”" - omnia saed, tristiana hinton
