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. read more

Treat yourself!!!! This was the best steak I have had in a while!! Cooked exactly how I asked, was able to switch the mashed potatoes out to brussel sprouts. Calamari flavorful Parmesan wings delicious. I also enjoyed my garlic bread, which is a must have the only thing that could have been better with the drinks. My service was exceptional, waitress paid attention and cater to our needs. as busy as it was, I didn't feel like we were on top of each other which was great for the customers. read more

Nice brunch experience. Great location on the National Harbor strip. Really good service (4*). Google calls it a steakhouse, but the menu says Italian. Lots of options for both on the menu....Italian steakhouse? I really like the decor, lots of seating options including an outdoor patio in nice weather. I had the Arancini app, and it was delightful. I really enjoyed the fried ball of rice ball goodness, but the generous helping of sauce put it over the top. It was so, so good. I felt like fried chicken, so I went for the Chicken and Waffle. As expected, the fried chicken was sitting on top of the waffle. The chicken had an aioli drizzle on top. I'm not a big mayonnaise fan but decided to try it anyway. For me, the aioli wasn't a favorite. As you can see from the pics, the chicken were small, boneless "nugget" style bites. The roasted potatoes were well seasoned but not much to it. The waffle was ok, kinda thin, and not really crunchy since it was at the bottom of all that. It came with a side salad that was just greens. I enjoyed it, but a couple of tomatoes and other veggies would have been nice. For service and decor, 4*. I've been a couple of times and enjoyed the meals. So, giving this first revue the benefit of the doubt, 4*. read more

Bond 45 - Italian Near Me - Oxon Hill, Maryland

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Somewhat expensive, but nice looking spot for a date while visiting National Harbor. I came here with the gf on a Sunday evening as it was open and available and we wanted to eat somewhere near the National Harbor. Overall, the drinks and food were good. I got an extra patty in my burger and ended up having basically a triple whopper. I ate everything because I was pretty hungry and even ate half of my gf chicken sandwich. The margarita I got was also pretty good. However, the food took awhile to arrive and the prices are on the high side. Still a good spot! read more

Very authentic with the look and vibes. Everyone I came across was so sweet from the host, to the waitstaff. Our waiter was "Candace G" and she was so sweet and gave great recommendations pertaining to the food options. We had: ~ Rigatoni Bolognese - my friend ordered for dinner so I'm not sure what she thought of it, but it looked delicious. ~ Spaghetti Carbonara - the bit I tasted was really good! The pancetta was crisp and was A great mix with the pasta ~ Chicken Wings - ask for them extra crispy! They were soooooooo good!!!! Both flavors were really good ~ Arancini - actually really good! Crisp on the outside and soft and cheesy and gooey inside. ~ Fried Shrimp & Calamari - I should have asked for it to be fried a little harder, it was slightly soft and the crust fell off the calamari and shrimp. Last but not least, the BREAD?!????? Delicious. So crispy on the outside and soft and buttery inside. I hate that I didn't get a picture but we demolished the bread as soon as it hit the table One thing I recommend is that, if it's cold out, request to not sit in the green area sections. It was FREEZING out there and I don't think there is heat in that space. Overall, the place is worth the shot. read more

Service was amazing, we had a party of 12 and we lucked out. They were able to accommodate us within minutes during a busy time. Took a while for food to come but it was well worth it. My table ordered a variety of dishes that all looked and tasted great. From seafood to a tomahawk to fried and pasta. Everything was scrumptious! I don't do seafood but the table raved about the calamari which had fried jalapeños. So try this. At the recommendation of a colleague we had an after dinner drink which consisted of an espresso and an amaretto shot. Mix to your desire and it was wonderful. The restaurant overlooks the bay and was somewhat dim creating a relaxing atmosphere. I'm from Texas but will return when back in National Harbor. read more

Bond 45 is the best restaurant in the area!!! It has it all from great food, ambience, and service. The only way you'll be disappointed is if you do not go to Bond 45. John Edward is the General Manager of Bond 45 and he goes above and beyond for every single one of his customers. I have never encountered a better GM. I go to Bond every time I am in the area because the experience is always top notch and we love seeing John Edward. I have even started holding my company dinners and events at Bond. read more

Our favorite restaurant for dining at the Harbor. My go-to is always arancini and whole bone-in sea bass. Arancini has a nice flavor balance to the accompanying marinara. Sea bass is perfectly seasoned and very easy to debone (my preference to debone as I enjoy my meal). My husband's meal of choice is the prime rib eye steak. It's always a perfectly cooked and juicy medium rare. We've never had a miss. Service is always excellent whether sitting in the conservatory or on the covered patio/balcony. Wine selection is abundant. Bond45 is easily onn our top 3 for a local date night. read more

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. read more

The service here was fantastic. I walked in and was greeted. I came a little early for my reservation and still was able to be seated promptly. The server came right over with a water and a menu. She informed me of all their specials and their more popular drinks. Both bartenders were very attentive. I didn't want have to search for them they were always readily available even though the bar was busy. The restaurant itself is beautiful. The deep rich woods. Lots of natural light. Soft music in the background. You have an amazing views of the harbor. They also offer outdoor seating. While at Bond 45 I ordered the Scallops with the mushroom risotto. The scallops were pan-seared to perfection, lightly seasoned. The risotto was the highlight of this dish. The risotto wasn't as creamy as I like, but it was packed full of flavor. There was generous with the mushrooms that really bought out the truffle oil. I also ordered a Caesar salad, I loved the dressing. Everywhere in the harbor is within in walking distance so you can either park street side or one of the many parking garages. read more

The service was great. The food came out fast and it was hot, however everything just needed some salt. My husband and I had the meatballs, garlic bread, a house salad, a prime ribeye, roasted potatoes and crab linguine (I think this was a holiday special). Order the garlic bread and dip it in the tomato sauce that comes with the meatballs, it's really good! read more

Amazing Italian food! I had the lasagna, which was very tasty and both hearty and filling- it gets an A+ in my book!

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. read more

So I came here for happy hour on a Tuesday and I arrived around 4p. A lot of seats available, however by 430/5p the space filled up no available seats at the bar (glad I came early!) I ordered Calamari from happy hour pretty delicious! I ordered house cab from their happy hour also pretty good. The best part!!!!! The Dry aged New York strip!!!!! Orgasm in my mouth!!!! I have dined at Ruth Chris and various Palm establishments (was collecting points for a time) BUT nothing can compare to a Bond steak!!!! Omg! sooooooooooo goooood! I'm normally a ribeye girl but I ventured out. So happy I did. This steak was phenomenal! Cooked to perfection! Flavors omg the juices! I could probably write a poem about this delicious steak! Hands down must try their steak!!!! I have been here before but for the burrata that they make in house (also delicious). This would be my go to for steak every time if it was closer to me. This isn't a La carte prices either, entrees come with delicious side! You can't go wrong! Also it's the harbor the ambiance alone is worth coming but the food!!! The food will bring you back! You won't regret ordering the Dry aged steak. Lastly, despite being super busy on weekday Yasmine was on top of it, very accommodating to others and attentive as well as myself. There was another bartender and they did help each other out. We all know food could phenomenal but it's the staff the feeling of being welcomed and attended makes all the difference! Thank you Yasmine! Bottom line: great food & service! read more

My wonderful steak eating grandson was visiting me while he was off from school for Presidents Day! So off to Bond 45 we went! We were sat at a cute table by the window and presented with the menus by a lovely young hostess. As soon as my grandson saw the garlic bread app..it was game on! And when I say game on it was a two loaf day! It was warm and delicious and the kid ate every bite! He opted for the steak frittes and I went with the spaghetti and meatballs..both were hot..well seasoned and DELICIOUS! The meatballs were a nice size and the sauce was to die for! As for the steak..his reaction after the first bite was "BEST STEAK EVER" We finished off with the chocolate mousse cake which was fantastic! Our server was attentive and kind and took wonderful care of us and my grandson even told her the whole experience from Food to service was 5 stars! He already wants to go back! read more

What a pleasant first time eating at Bond 45. Our waiter was very polite (and funny) and the food was a hit with the family [especially the steaks]. Steak Frittes [5] came out perfect.

To our surprise, towards the end of dinner, our waiter gave us two glasses of champagne and wished us a happy new year. Very nice :) read more

Solid with the caveat that I only sat at the bar for HH and had snacks. Bond 45 is quite elegant in a clubby sort of way, with dark wood and tile floors. Menu wise expect Italian classics with an emphasis on seafood, because Maryland. I had a non HH rose (because the HH wines were not great, Bob) which I liked very much. For food, I had an order of meatballs ($7) which is perfect for a light, keto-ish meal. Honestly, they're really good and you should get them even if you're not on HH. Service was really attentive and pleasant. This is a very nice place in the middle of a lot of crappy restaurants - recommend. read more

Came here for dinner to get out of our hotel in National Harbor. We were there for a photo convention. Took a quick walk to Bond 45. We were nicely greeted at the door and immediately brought to our table. Small room on the side and a very comfortable setting. We started with this wonderful appetizer of Calamari and Fried Shrimp. I knew that this was going to be a great meal as soon as we started to eat this first course. Delicious tender calamari and shrimp with a wonderful crispy coating. Our waiter was very attentive to our table and confirmed with us prior to firing up our dinner. The Chicken Parm was perfect. Two large-thin pieces of chicken cooked very well. Chicken was moist and tender with a delicious crispy coating. The marinara was a rich full bodied sauce. Always made you want more. My Rigatoni Bolognese was delicious. Nice pieces of meat in a wonderful rich-tasty sauce. The rigatoni was a perfect al-dente. My wife and I left feeling really good about our dinner and crew KUDOs to the team at Bond 45 read more
