    New dinner menu
    Lisa D.

    Ordered to-go while staying at the hotel. I ordered the Chicken Milanese, which was a large piece of fried chicken with a little bit of arugula. I would've liked a more balanced portion of chicken to arugula, but the vinaigrette was delicious.

    Stayed at the hotel for a night and ate at the restaurant since it was convenient. The vibe is chill, the service was fantastic. I got a Pinot Grigio while waiting for my takeout order of Cobb salad and chocolate cake (ultimate mom dinner). They don't have any vegetarian or vegan options but you can adapt some of the dishes to vegetarian by removing the meat option. Pricing was pretty steep (as you might expect at The Wharf) but the portion sizes were generous. I was pretty shocked a glass of white wine was $19 though All in all, a good experience with tasty food but you're going to pay for it!

    GET THE BIRRIA FRIES. JUST DO IT I came for the fries, honestly and they did NOT disappoint! The servers seemed pretty busy, so it was hard to get our servers attention to order. This restaurant is located in the Canopy Hotel, so it was quiet; and then things seemed to pickup drastically and I'm not sure staff was prepared. I ordered the chicken dish as my main, it was cooked well; I just wish it had a lot more flavor. It needed a lot more salt, but other than that it was good!

    I must say...Hilton Properties are amazing! There is nothing like the vibes in DC! I stayed on the Wharf and I felt right at home. The bells man were great, but they could use more carts to carry the luggage so you're not waiting as long. I did use the valet service to store my car for a week and I was able to retrieve my car as need be to run errands. Antonio I believe was a manager and he was very helpful. I needed to add a few days to my trip which I was unsuccessful via the app, but he made it a seamless process. After he explained everything to me, I went up to my room and loved everything about it. I would suggest having an item to leave on your door if the room is in need of linen, cleaning or simply more towels. I Love the Nespresso machine, as I own a barista and it's lovely. Now...let's get into Food & Happy Hour. Happy Hour is only for one hour at this location but at other Hilton Properties, Happy Hour is over a 2 hour period, so I was a little disappointed by that. On a separate day, I went up to the Cafe inside of the hotel and let me tell you, the individual who made my day great was the new night Manager. My server was horrible. I will not list her name because I did provide face to face pointers for her to hopefully learn from, however I was never checked on once she brought my food and drinks to the table. I had to place the napkin over my food and close out my tab inside. When I asked why I had not been checked on she said, "well I was busy...which it was not busy AT all" so the Night Shift manager made sure I was taken care of. I didn't ask for a discount or to have any food taken off of my order, I simply wanted the young lady to be more attentive to guests purchasing food. Otherwise, my stay in Room 810 was amazing therefore I will give Hilton a 5Star! Cheers!

    Stopped for a late bfast while in town for the Cherry Blossoms. Service was ok, kind of slow due to only 2 servers on a busy Sunday morning. Food was good.

    OMG!!! So right now I am on seafood. Usually strictly vegan however, seafood is good. This shrimp and grits was delicious! Absolutely amazing. The mimosa is pineapple and I would definitely have more. The service is phenomenal. The glass was constantly being filled. It's quiet at brunches time. It's beautiful with a scenic view. I would highly recommend it.

    Dude, seriously. We get a $36 credit (for a double occupancy room) to be used here at any time of day. Our first day, we got the Big Mic burger and a wedge salad. (Paid $2 plus tip and attached the bill to the room.) This morning we just ordered the Bacon Egg and Cheese sammie and the Avo Toast with bacon and egg. (Should be another $3 plus tip kinda bill.) The food is actually quite good! The wait staff is super awesome as well; many people on hand and so nice. The views outside are very nice. I can't recommend this place enough! They do take reservations on their website. Lunch took a hot minute to come out, but we weren't in a hurry. It's not loud, so good for a catch up meal with friends.

    For hotel food this place is pretty legit. I kept seeing the pizza in the afternoons but didn't get to try it. We did however try the breakfast and it was pretty darn good. The chicken and waffles is plenty to share between two people unless your really hungry. The chicken was seasoned perfectly. Took off a star bc if you are in a rush this is not the place to go but the people are friendly. Also the bar at night is A1. All the bartenders at night made me some delicious cocktails. If your staying at the hotel and have the credit use them here. It's worth it.

    We don't get down to the wharf much but wanted to find a place that had good food, service, views and was close to the Anthem. Canopy Central Cafe at the Hilton literally hit all the marks and it will now be our go-to whenever we are going to a show. The dining room is on the second level of the hotel and overlooks the water. Our host, Dagim and waiter Dayton were top notch when it comes to food service. Dagim had actually answered my call prior to arriving and was super friendly and answered all my questions regarding parking/reservations etc. I had read reviews on Yelp before arriving and someone said to ask for Eddie to make your pizza. I did ask Dagim as he was seating us if Eddie was working today and he said he was working but wasn't in that part of the restaurant today (they have another restaurant on-site - Whiskey Charlie). I was a little bummed but he assured me the chef on staff making pizza that evening was also fantastic. To my surprise about 10 minutes later, Dagim let me know he was able to borrow Eddie to come down and specially make our pizza!!!! Dayton was just as kind and friendly as our waiter. I can't say enough good things about our experience with the service, but also need to mention how incredible the PIZZA AND BIRRIA FRIES WERE! My husband and I were floored and the quality of this food and can't wait to return when we have more time and aren't rushing to a show to try some of the other offerings. And I can't forget to mention how CHEAP the draft beers were for this area! $6 IPAs and it wasn't even happy hour. Wow! So Dagim, Dayton and of course EDDIE - thank you so much for making our night out so special.

    Chicken sandwich

    Stayed at the Canopy hotel so this cafe was more or less convenient but honestly not the best service. My friend and I wanted to just get coffee one morning and it was 10:02 and they said they were closed for breakfast and won't reopen until brunch. I mean it was just coffee! I think if you're located inside a hotel, coffee should be more readily available but maybe it's a covid thing?! It was my first hotel stay since pre-covid. I did eventually get to try the coffee and it was $4/cup - decent coffee but pricey!! Another time we decided to do lunch here. We got seated outside and 20 minutes go by before anyone came over to take our orders. I got a chicken sandwhich and it was ok! Nothing great but I was hungry. I can't say this is a place I'd come to if I wasn't staying at the hotel!

    Hangover special
    Kai M.

    I visited here every morning while staying at the hotel and each time I visited, my food was delicious, coffee was freshly brewed, and the staff...Shoutout to GiGi and everyone who always carried a positive demeanor whenever they approached guest. I did not do lunch or dinner here because the area was one to explore. But, breakfast was a plus! And, I have noooooo idea where these fruits came from but they were the sweetest fruits ever selected (spoken from someone living in DC who often purchases fruits that are beyond sour) The view! the ambiance! AMAZING! The service! Quality and handled with care! Thank you, to all of the staff who worked during the weekend of March 5. You are truly appreciated for your hard work and all that you do in preparing this meal, serving tables, and even greeting guest at the door. My staycation was made!!!! I'll be back again

    Decided to come here on a Thursday evening to sit outdoors to enjoy the scenery. This place surely gets a 5 star rating for the views and gorgeous outdoor dining and chill setup. The ambiance makes you feel like you're in south beach - just enjoying the cool vibe and breeze. Our server, Nirvana, was so delightful and attentive We finally ordered cocktails that were pretty average, and food after reviewing the menu for what seemed to be 30 mins lol We loved the ambiance and the weather was spectacular - we were distracted! Lol Anyway, I ordered Seared Salmon with shrimp. He ordered the chicken pasta dish. My food was flavorful - his not so much. With that...I give the dining experience (service and ambiance) 5 stars and the food 3....

    We were looking for a bottomless brunch last minute at the wharf and came across here. I had the best time here! Deborah, our server, was so fun and friendly. She was very attentive and made sure we had a great time. The view was good too. In terms of food, I loved it. The common thing was that seasoning and sauces were great. The hangover special had a nice old bay aioli. The hash was very crispy. The chicken and waffle was the highlight. The chicken was so crispy and surprisingly not greasy. The lavender butter was amazing. Everything blended so well together.

I know Silver Diner is a chain in the area, and I knew I liked the food. I came in, sat immediately, and was greeted by the server. Placed a drink order and went to the menu. It has been a while since I have been to one of these, and I wanted to make sure it was still on the menu. Not sure what was going on in this section, but I swear the lights were either off or set to the lowest setting for dimming. I almost had to bring my phone out to give me some light. I confirmed that the item was still on the menu and waited for my server to come back. Listen, whether you have a party of six or a party of one, you really shouldn't skirt around my table and kind of ignore me. I was waiting to place my order and had to wait for my server to come back around to me. My order was finally taken and my drink showed up. I ordered a side salad and their meatloaf. My go to meal for this establishment. My salad came out pretty promptly as it was a food runner bringing this my way. Your typical pregame salad. Before I had this done, the meatloaf made its appearance. The meatloaf hit. It was exactly how I remembered it. For a late dinner, it definitely sat heavy in my stomach. But I know when I did have my head hit the pillow later I was easily fall asleep. Which, I could have done here with how dark the space I was sat in was. Meal was over, but it took a long time to get my bill and pay it. Once I had that out of the way, I went through the well lit portion of the restaurant to use the facilities before heading back out. Seriously, turn the lights up in that front street facing space.

On Sundays, they only offer their bottomless brunch which has a selection of appetizers, entrée and deserts. We really liked their apps special call outs were sugar bacon, deviled eggs and spinach artichoke dip. The loaded nachos were nice too. Entrée portions were huge. Fried chicken a bit too oily and some what bland. Maryland crab cakes missed the mark. Deserts were small portions of ice-cream with brownie and cake. I would recommend them to add some unique options for deserts as well. The place was packed inside and absolutely no seating available. We felt lucky to have a seat outside.

We started with the steak nachos, and while the steak itself was really good, the nachos overall were a little below average. They just didn't have the flavor or balance I was hoping for. We also ordered the fish and chips, but they were very heavy and greasy, to the point where we decided not to finish them. For drinks, I had a margarita that was overly sour and not very enjoyable. My husband had an IPA on draft and said that was really good, so the beer selection may be the better route here. Unfortunately, the service was also not great, which made the overall experience feel a bit underwhelming. I could see this being an okay place to watch a game or grab a beer, but based on our visit, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come back for the food or cocktails.
