    We stopped here for a quick bite before heading to the DC United game. The place was big and spacious with a nice crowd, which gave it a lively and welcoming atmosphere. Our waiter was very friendly, professional, and attentive throughout our meal. We ordered the tacos and a burrito, and everything was delicious! The food came out fresh, flavorful, and with good portions. It was a great spot to grab a meal before the game, and we really enjoyed our experience. We would definitely come back again, especially the next time we're in the area for a DC United game!

    Loved this brunch, heart of the navy yard right by Nats stadium and Audi field please ask for Michelle Jo she was our waitress and the service couldn't have been better. 10/10 coming back every time I'm in town

    Wings, carnitas taco, double stack taco

    Tried Mission for the first time tonight. Came for the World Cup as they advertised game specials. The games were on the TVs, but not with the game sound (music was on). No problem, I just put the streaming coverage in my earbuds. I sat at the bar. They had both happy hour and the game specials on the menu. The waitress was friendly although not all that attentive. More interested in chatting with other staff and playing on her phone. Disappointing for service but not all that surprising these days. Margaritas were fine, weak as is common with happy hour offerings. The jalapeño one was my preference. I order a few different tacos and the rolled tacos but they brought me wings ‍. Everything was delicious. It was not busy on a Saturday early evening although it was raining out. I suspect this is not usual and would be much busier later. I will likely come back as I live in the Navy Yard and it was on balance good food and average otherwise. Revised my review! I ordered something on happy hour and they brought me wings. Waitress noticed after I ate the wings (I wasn't mad about it, figured it got entered wrong and I like wings). Nope, she confirmed it was entered correctly, the kitchen made the error. She went back and revised the bill and charged me full price for the wings I did not order. Bad form! The appropriate response would at least have been left it at the cheaper price of what I ordered, middle of the road is send me home with what I ordered to go and eat the error, or best case remove the item I didn't get from the bill and eat the error. The right answer is not charge the customer for an item he did not order because it was a restaurant error. Doesn't change my opinion of the food but definitely does about the service. Will think twice about coming back.

    Came into mission for brunch before a nats game on a weekend. We made a reservation beforehand and were escorted upstairs to a table. The interior is quite spacious with a modern feel. The upstairs bar is also very large and there was live music playing. Our server was helpful and quick, the prices were reasonable as well. My breakfast bowl was delicious, it had eggs, cheese, chicken, and tortilla strips in it. The green sauce was a little too spicy for my liking but overall it hit the spot. My friends tacos looked and tasted delicious. The bathroom lights were cool and the area was well maintained. Loved this location because of how close it is to the stadium and bull pen! We will be back!

    Ashley and Mia were wonderful! I'm vegan and not too many places by the ballpark have good food that can meet my dietary restrictions. Mission served it up! Delicious food! Margaritas were absolutely refreshing with a bit of attitude! Don't worry, they tailor the attitude to suit your needs Wonderful atmosphere and service! Put this place as must go!

    I love the DuPont location; it's always been a personal favorite. I was excited to try Mission Navy Yard for a Sunday Football visit. The food was solid and reliable. I had the queso, a diet coke, and their signature wings, all of which were good. It was missing that sports bar vibe as it was a bit empty, but service was a little slow. Overall, a pretty decent experience!

    Mission at the Navy Yard stands within steps away from Washington Nationals Park. Prior to my visit, I do recognize other options were favored based on recent reviews, but I took the chance, and I do regret it. Be it an off day or the standard of service in this restaurant, Mission was not it for me. Disappointing. On the day of my visit, IDs were being checked at the door. And it went downhill from there. Arrived on the 2nd floor and was told service would be quicker sitting at the bar versus at the bartops. The bartenders on the day of our visit seemed really spaced out. It may be the combination of bombardment of crowds from the game and heat, it has been a while since I received service with very poor interaction. Cold, hesitant, and impatient. Orders were simple, as offerings of the day are simple. Nothing complicated, but chips, salsa, and tacos... the meal was bland and passable. Goodness gracious, no thank you. Maybe another day.

Decent selection to include vegitarian options. Service- left much to be desired. Server was unenthusiastic to say the least. Every aspect of the experience lacked tremendously.

Ambience - slow. Not in a good way. Operations were at best lax and uncaring. Charged for a large party with only 3 people in attendance as a means to hike the overall bill.

However, the waitress was excellent with providing order recommendations and ensuring that we were taken care of. Drinks: I ordered the ranch water which wasn't anything spectacular. Just a simple non-sugary drink to enjoy while dining. I opted out of the fajitas but the rest of my party loved the steak and shrimp fajitas, which were part of the fajitas 2 deal. Plenty to share and I heard that the steak was cooked to perfection and the shrimp was seasoned well. I ordered the taco salad and that dish was PHENOMENAL! There is something to be said about a wet salad which manages to hold some crunchy texture to the taco strips. Also, it was perfectly chopped and all ingredients were mixed together so well. To complete the dish, I ordered a side of rice and chicken. Both were delicious but the chicken portion could use some work. Overall I'm curious to try their breakfast tacos so count me in on returning! They also offer a great happy hour so I recommend stopping by to enjoy their bar or even their cute outdoor seating.

The flavor was a little sweeter than I'd expected for the cuisine, but there were ample fermented beans that showed that proper ingredients were used in the sauce, and the savory element grew on me.

The brick exterior coupled with the large white-walled interior provided the perfect "blank canvas" to backdrop our event. We hosted nearly 100 people and had plenty of room for a live band and bar. The reason this review earned three stars was because of venue management. An important aspect of North Hall is that they will not let you do any setup prior to the event unless you pay per hour. As an example: our event started at 5pm and we had to pay 500$ more to start setup at 3pm. The real issue arose when we were informed that we could not leave anything in a closet or kitchen in order to make the "day-of" prep easier. Management allowed absolutely nothing from entering or remaining in the space despite there being no event prior to our reception. On a positive note, the two hour setup window provided a testament to how amazing our vendors were; they created a beautiful space with no help from North Hall. The management induced plenty of undue stress by being unclear of what permits were needed for the event. They went on to remind us with little time to prepare. This issue manifested itself one week prior to our wedding day, where our wedding coordinator, my wife, and myself scrambled to get permits for food, alcohol, etc. Overall, North Hall is truly lovely, but future customers should be aware that this venue is fortified by the bureaucracy of Washington D.C. Much like your local trip to the DMV, illogical policies and the lack of regard for the individual reign supreme. Weddings are stressful and emotional, no one should have to deal with the inefficiencies of government and the shortcomings of bureaucrats on their special day.
