    Solid fish and chips especially with the tartar sauce, it tasted even better right by the water. We love their biscoff milkshake (I'd come back just for milkshake tbh) but it was sold out at the time so we settled for the chocolate milkshake. They are always busy when we visit so we do have to wait quite a bit but I'd says it's worth.

    Damnit Gordon! That should not have been that good. We went with the fish and shrimp combo and everything was really fresh and tasty. The sauces paired perfectly with it too. Now the real star of the show was the Biscoff shake. Hands down the best shake I've ever had. Just take my word for it and try it if you ever get the chance.

    This has been on my go-to list for a very long time. I finally made it this past weekend on a lovely 60 degree day in Washington DC. The location on the Wharf has always made it difficult due to parking. The nearby Wharf garages start at $11 per hour. You really can't spend a couple of hours there without the exorbitant parking fees. But if you do come down to the DC Wharf, do try the Fish & Chips. I do not normally get fish & chips on any menu because of the grease but I had to try Gordon Ramsay's. I was not disappointed. I got the Gordon Combo which had one piece of fish, one piece of chicken, and three shrimp. The fish and shrimp were delicious. The chicken was juicy. The fries were crisp. Everything was well done. I thought coming after the lunch hour close to 2PM, it would not be that busy. Not so. It took almost 30 minutes to stand in line to place my order on two self-order kiosks (one human person was also taking orders if you technology adverse) and then move to the pick up section to wait for your number to be called. The place was definitely busy and full of tourists. Once I got my order, I headed outside to enjoy my meal. There are plenty of benches if a table is not available. I highly recommend eating outside on a nice day. So much people watching and fresh air next to the water.

    Maybe we caught them on an off day? We have so enjoyed Gordon Ramsay fish & chips previously but this day they were meh. Staff was extremely friendly, although it took over 10 minutes for us to get our order (2 fish & chip baskets with truffle fries) and the store was not busy. When we got our food neither the fish or the fries had any crispiness to them. I can't say soggy necessarily, but almost as if the oil wasn't hot enough. We ate the fish and the fish tasted decent, but we left our fries. Definitely a disappointment overall.

    We decided to give this place a try after hearing good things about it. We were here on a Saturday around 4 p.m., and the place wasn't busy. All ordering is done on touch screens, which can sometimes be frustrating. You almost need a PhD in computer science to operate the ordering system. When an employee saw us and another customer puzzling over the screens, she came out and assisted us all. We told her it was our first time here and thanked her for her help. We both ordered the fish and chips. Cod is the fish they use, and it worked very well. We also ordered regular "chips" (just salted). They offer up items like "dirty chips" that cost extra. The order also comes with a choice of two sauces. We both chose dijon mayonnaise and cocktail sauce. To drink, we each had a bottle of water. The employee handed us our water right after we paid for the food. Our receipt had an order number, so we waited for our number to be called, which didn't take long. As for the food, we both liked the fish. The coating was crunchy, and the cod was flaky and moist. This dinner box also comes with a lemon wedge to squeeze over the fish (which we both did). The "chips" arrived piping hot, which we appreciated. As for the dipping sauces: to me, the dijon mayonnaise was very mildly flavored with the dijon. My husband said he barely tasted it. (He likes fries with mayonnaise anyway. ) The cocktail sauce had a bit of kick. I rarely use cocktail sauce, but my husband, who uses it more than I do, said he thought it could have been better: it arrived as a partially solid ketchup-like mass in the cup. Perhaps, they could have added some other ingredients. I wasn't impressed by the tables and chairs. The tables were spacious, but the chairs were too low. As a short person, I found myself sitting too low to the ground, like a kid at the adults' table. (The place has two unisex bathrooms. One of them needs to have its commode seat replaced) Otherwise, we liked the food and thought the portion size was just right -- neither too much nor too little. We would consider going there again. Bring your gold card.

    I will admit, I came here about 30 minutes before closing, but I do not think is an excuse for the overpriced food with Gordan Ramseys stamp on it. For a restaurant with his name with a classic dish from his home country, I had high expectations. As much as I like how the batter was light and crispy, it was way too salty for me. The sauce selection was interesting and yummy, such as the curry sauce (I've never seen or tried that with fish and chips). The fried fish had some empty spaces inside (less meat) and the batter was so salty, the sauces couldn't save it. Maybe it was because I went right before closing, but I was very disappointed. The inside was modern, and British decorated with colors, but that was really it.

    Quick take: craving fish and chips We ordered a combo and shared between two people.The combo had fish, shrimp. and French fries. I liked the outdoor seating ver much. The tartar sauce is very good. Next time I want to try the cocktail sauce as well.

    Arrived before lunch rush at 11:30, ordered on the tablet and there were only a few people seated eating and one other person ordering next to us. The took really long and got worse by 12. Got food at 12:10 and they forgot the added chicken tender I ordered but luckily I caught that early on. Let the lunch rush die down and ordered the mini shakes. Waited for 20 minutes until I asked how far along until my order, they said to pick it up at the drink counter. No one was there when we ordered the shake and there was no sign. Added a biscoff cookie to the shake... which they also forgot and put it on the side cup. Overall it's a small portion and what got us full were the dirty fries. Wanted to try this in Vegas but ended up trying it in DC while in the area instead. Don't come if you're expecting food within 15-20 minutes.

    Yum!!! A bit pricey but definitely worth the view and they were delicious. Very filling and flavorful. Look like there is not a lot but it was quite a bit of food. The curry sauce was amazing. Definitely be having this again. Great service and hopeful staff.

    I must have caught them on a bad day. I've been wanting to try this place since they opened. I came on a Thursday night before meeting friends in the area. The place was clean, and ordering at the kiosks is fairly simple. I tried the Gordon's combo, which consisted of 1 piece of fish, 1 chicken, 3 shrimp and fries. My order took less than 5 minutes to get, and unfortunately I was a little disappointed. For $20+, you get more fries than anything. The chicken had no flavor and was smaller than the size of my palm. The fish was also tiny compared to other pics and reviews I saw, and the breading was sliding off first bite. The shrimp were perfect in size and taste. I should've taken a picture of the cocktail sauce. Im assuming it was previously frozen because the texture was way more of a paste than a dip. I'm a huuuge fan of fish and chips, and this one just wasn't worth the money. If I ever came back, I'd probably stick to the shrimp. Never again on the chicken though. For less than $20, i wish there was a Long John Silvers in the area.

    Fish Combo Dirty Chips #3
    Matthew U.

    I'm a big Ramsay fan and have had his version of fish and chips at other restaurants, so I figured I would give this a go at this location. The Wharf has so many options for a meal if you are willing to sit down and have an experience. However, I wanted to be able to go in, place an order, and eat at my leisure in my solitude. This place afforded me that and I was never happier. Being one of four locations in the States I walked in and right up to the ordering kiosk. I wanted to go old school here, so I bypassed the combo dishes that included chicken and/or shrimp. I wanted just the Fish Combo which comes with three pieces of cod and chips. Two dipping sauces of my choice as well. For me it was Gordon's Tartar and the Dijon Mayonnaise. I also upgraded my chips to Dirty Chips #3 (bacon cheddar, green onions, sour cream). Added a drink, paid, given my receipt by the machine. Before I could go back and find a seat a staff member was already there to provide me with my drink. I went with sweet tea and after I was handed it I was told there were free refills. I like this space. It's big and feels intimate, but at the same time you can find a spot where you are by yourself. I did just that. I went towards the back, past the restrooms, and found myself a nice two top with a nice view of the street. Allowing me to people watch and take in the scenery. Before long my number was called and I went to fetch my food. The portion size, a bit small to me. Definitely not what I paid at other establishments that serve Gordon's recipe for this very dish. But the taste was out of this world. The cod was a bit bigger than a traditional fish stick size. Perfectly battered, giving you that crunch you would expect to hear. The chips, I should have gotten them plain with just sea salt. The toppings were nearly lacking and didn't do the chips justice. I wanted more of the toppings, especially since I was up charged for them. Totally missed the mark for me Overall, great experience, but when I do return, I will definitely give other things a try this go around.

    Had this in Vegas and loved it and same for here. Super quick service and food was prepared perfectly! Cant wait to go back. Need to try a biscoff milkshake next time. Indoor and outdoor seating. Clean and well maintained.

    I was excited to try this spot on the wharf. It seemed more popular than Hell's Kitchen itself. We tried the fish basket, it hard 3 fried shrimps and 2 fried cods. It seemed like a small portion for $20. There was a lot of fries, or chips as they call it. The fries had a lot of potato but not very seasoned. The ambience was like a fast food restaurant, not very classy. But it was nice to see the Gordon Ramsey logo everywhere with the British flag.

    Ask the Community - Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips

    Does this restaurant accept reservations for seating?

    I don't think it so. It's more of a fast food place. You can order to go or dine inside or outside on the patio.

    Hi is the fish beer battered?

    Hi Mariam, Our batter does not contain beer or alcohol. Due to the way our food is prepared, it is not possible to guarantee the absence of allergens in our products.

    Are the fish and chips dairy-free? Which menu items contain dairy? Thanks

    Yes they're dairy free. I've asked the employees several times during my multiple trips to the restaurant.

    Are the fish and chips safe for a peanut and tree nut allergy?

    Hi Lorraine, while the Fish and Chips do not contain peanuts or tree nuts, due to the way our food is prepared, it is not possible to guarantee the absence of allergens in our products.

    Where is the closest garage to park at? UPDATE: we parked at Wharf Parking Garage 1 - 7th Street Circle Entrance (address: 700 Water St SW, WDC 20024) which was less than a block from the restaurant (rates: 30 mins $5, up to 1 hr $10, 1 - 2 hrs $20)

    Garage 2 is directly behind Gordon Ramsay Fish and chips. It's expensive, so if you're only going to pick up food, you're probably better off with street parking if you can find it.

    Are the fish and shrimp fried separately?

    Yes, I believe they are! They actually have a counter above the kitchen where you can see the number of fish, shrimp, and chicken the staff is frying. I'd say that's a pretty good indicator that they fry them separately.

    What kind of oil do you use to fry your fish and shrimp?

    Hi Wendy, we are using Canola oil.

And let me tell y'all... it definitely lived up to the hype. This place is an experience all by itself. There are different stations depending on what you're ordering, so at first I was a little confused , but once I figured it out, everything moved pretty smoothly. The staff was patient, answered my questions, and helped me figure out exactly what I wanted. I decided to order three fresh oysters and a half-pound of shrimp with Old Bay seasoning, and I was so excited because I absolutely LOVE seafood. The oysters? 10/10. Fresh, clean, and exactly what I hoped they'd be. Every bite reminded me why I love oysters so much. The shrimp were another highlight. They were a really nice size, perfectly seasoned with Old Bay, and paired perfectly with a little butter and lemon. They were simple, fresh, and packed with flavor. I also got to sit outside with some amazing people while everyone compared what they ordered. We had everything from red snapper and whiting to flounder, fries, sweet potato fries, and macaroni salad on the table. It was fun hearing everyone's opinions while we all rated our meals together. Those are the moments that make food even more enjoyable. If I had one small critique, it would be the fries. They weren't my favorite, but honestly, I came for the seafood, and that's exactly what delivered. My overall rating: 9/10. Fresh seafood, a fun atmosphere, beautiful waterfront views, and great company made this one of my favorite food stops during my trip to Washington, D.C. Thank you, Jessie Taylor Seafood, for an experience I'll definitely remember. I can't wait to come back and try even more of the menu. That's Just How Life Goes... and of course, Just How Food Goes.

For my first course, I ordered the tuna tartare which was a generous serving - great for sharing. The tuna was fresh and they have a 9-minute egg plus little croutons for texture. The meal was off to a good start! Food was brought out quickly. Del Mar means "from the sea" and seafood is really where they shine. For my second course, I ordered the paella fideua negra, which is a thin noodle-based seafood paella instead of rice (much quicker cook time). The dish had great presentation. It was served in a cast iron skillet and they provided wooden paddles to scrape all the goodness from the pan. A separate plate with a lemon and extra aioli was provided as well, which really enhanced the flavor of the dish. The lemon half was served in a squeezing cloth which made it feel extra fancy. The paella was light on the seafood - it had three shrimps, three mussels, and a clam - but they were all nicely cooked and it was a good variety to showcase their seafood skills. Portions were generous - I couldn't finish it all and they kindly packed it up for me to go. To end the meal, I had the ice cream cookie sandwich which was a snickerdoodle cookie with salted caramel gelato dipped in chocolate ganache. I thought the dessert was okay. I like all of the components separately, but together, it ate too sweet (even for a dessert). I had a pleasant dining experience at Del Mar. It felt upscale but still approachable, without being pretentious. I would come again.

    The staff here were extremely nice, pleasant and welcoming. We were immediately seated. The…read morerestaurant is beautiful and there is a nice view of The Wharf DC. I do recommend dining here if you're in the area. La Vie came highly recommended by a long time DMV resident. This recommendation did not disappoint. The Crab cakes are a must have and that's what I ordered. The lump crab cakes were delicious. I was thoroughly impressed and satisfied with them. I wasn't a fan of the slaw, too spicy. The cocktail I ordered seemed weak and I wasn't a fan. Beware of the automatic 20% service fee here.

I waited for about 6 minutes before anyone showed up and then another few minutes before being seated. This was probably because of turnover service between brunch and dinner. I sat on the terrace which had a beautiful view. It can be a bit toasty if you're facing the sun. For my drink did the Lumiere Du Sud. It was refreshing but nothing to rave about. For summer restaurant week I did the mussels, kafta kebab and tiramisu. The mussels were pretty good. Packed with flavor and sauce. I was a bit disappointed with the kafta kebab. I really wanted to try one of the lamb dishes but didn't want to pay the up charge without trying anything first. The kebab was a bit too salty for me. The portion size was perfect though. The tiramisu was good. The waiter was nice. He described the menu well and checked in frequently but not too much. While I enjoyed my dinner, it didn't wow me. I'd likely come back to try happy hour and check out the penthouse.
