    Bond blossom
    Andrea A.

    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!

    Pear Salad

    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.

    Vegan entree consisting of several sides - Roasted Mushrooms, Greenbeans, Brussel Sprouts, and stewed beans and tomatoes.

    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.

    Fettucine Alfredo w/ Grilled Chicken
    Mike M.

    Service was great, clean, noisy, but okay. Waiter Bryce knew the menu so he made ordering easy for someone like me who only eats chicken and turkey. Wings were okay, $24 I think for 5 or 6, not worth it, didn't taste like mumbo to me either, cooked decent though. Alfredo with grilled chicken was good, flavorful and I added broccolini to it once I cut it up, so good. Wings kept this from being a 5 star.

    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.

    Branzino
    Kristen M.

    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.

    Cheesecake

    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.

    Baked Whole Sea Bass
    Jennifer W.

    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 !

    Cream of potato soup
    Monique P.

    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.

    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.

    Smash burger with an extra patty!!!

    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.

    We made reservations for dinner and right away, the staff were gracious, kind and hospitable. Kevin was an awesome server- giving us direct recommendations and being honest. The atmosphere was lovely and festive. We had a view right on the waterfront. The chicken parm was amazing as advertised and the fish my husband had was perfect. Would come here again!

    James N.

    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!

Like many businesses in National Harbor, Mason's is a chain. They have several locations across the US and a few locations in...Italy? That was a curveball I wasn't expecting. Anyway, it was lunchtime when we entered but fortunately not too crowded so we were able to grab a table. It's not a large space - there's ~4 tables inside as well as some stools, plus more tables outside. The menu is mostly rolls - lobster rolls of course, but they also have shrimp and crab with various accents. Most of the rolls are offered Connecticut style (warm with butter) or traditional (cold with mayo). They also have a few sides and salads. I noticed they had a lunch special, which came with a roll of my choice plus a drink and side. I can take or leave lobster - but the crab roll was speaking to me so I went with that, Connecticut style. The roll itself was good - a balanced portion of crab that had good flavor and tasted fresh. The bun was toasted ever so slightly, and held all the crab meat well. I had a bag of potato chips for my side which were...chips, yes. Service was fine, and overall I had good experience at Mason's. Is it the epitome of lobster rolls? No, but if you're craving them in the area then this fits the bill.

    Captain White Seafood Review - 10/10…read more If fresh seafood is what you're looking for, Captain White is one of my favorite places to shop. I've been there several times, and the quality has always been consistent. It's always busy, which tells me people know they're getting fresh seafood. Even when the parking lot is packed, there's plenty of free parking, so I've never had trouble finding a space. The atmosphere is exactly what you'd expect from a seafood market. You'll smell fresh fish when you walk in, but it's not an unpleasant odor--it's simply the smell of fresh seafood. One of the things I appreciate most is the staff. They've always been friendly, patient, and helpful whenever I've needed assistance or had questions. Over the years, I've purchased crabs , oysters , black bass, whiting, trout, spot, crawfish , and shrimp . Every purchase has been fresh and delicious. Their tartar sauce is also worth picking up if you're planning a seafood dinner. Now, I'm not a crab expert, so I can't compare them to every seafood market around. I can only speak from my own experience, and the crabs I've purchased have always been good. If you're going for crabs, get there early. They sell quickly, especially during the summer months. Another reason I keep coming back is the daily specials. They often have great seasonal deals, making it a perfect time to stock up on fresh seafood. Final Rating: 10/10 Fresh seafood, helpful staff, free parking, and consistently great quality make Captain White a place I'll continue to recommend.

My cousin and I stopped by on Friday, June 12, 2026, craving one of our favorites--the pimento burger. As usual, we grabbed two open seats at the bar that had just been vacated. A waiter greeted us and said he would return after cleaning the area. Another staff member brought us water, and we waited to place our order. While waiting, I noticed a couple sit down at the bar near us. To my surprise, the first waiter immediately went over to them, took their order, and prepared their drinks while my cousin and I continued to sit there without any acknowledgment. I eventually asked the waiter if he was assigned to our section, and he confirmed that he was. I then asked why the couple had been served before us when we had arrived first. His flippant response was, "Because they're regulars." I replied that, with good customer service, I could become a regular too. He then shrugged and said, "They know management." Thinking I must have misunderstood, I asked him to repeat himself. He again said, "They know management." What bothered me most was not that regular customers were recognized. Great hospitality includes making loyal guests feel appreciated. The problem was the message that seemed to be conveyed--that some customers are more deserving of attention than others because of who they know. When I expressed concern, the waiter appeared dismissive and uninterested in addressing it. Instead of clarifying or apologizing, he repeated the same explanation and shrugged off our concerns. At that point, my cousin looked at me and asked, "Are you ready?" We got up and left without ordering anything. This experience was especially disappointing because it was so different from the positive visits I've had here before. We came expecting good food and a welcoming atmosphere, but instead left feeling ignored and undervalued. I hope management takes customer service seriously and addresses situations like this. Every guest should feel welcomed and respected, whether they are a first-time visitor, a regular, or someone who knows management. Unfortunately, this experience makes me reluctant to return anytime soon. I can't say that I wouldn't recommend Succotash National Harbor, as I've enjoyed many good meals there in the past, but this visit left a lasting negative impression. To make matters worse, my cousin and I never even got the chance to order the pimento burger we came for .
