    Cobb Salad
    Anna G.

    Love everything about eating here. It feels like an industrial log cabin inside (yes, I said that!) and is so cozy. The salads are fabulous! Little pricy but the ingredients are great and done well. I got the Cobb salad. The sun dried tomatoes and bacon were especially good, and the portion of the bowl was huge.

    Nice place to grab a quick bite after the game! You must try the loaded cheese fries! Definitely a guilty pleasure if your willing to cheat on your diet! I also have the French dip sandwich. The first batch was super heavy in Rosemary but wants it was pointed out they quickly addressed it and provided a second batch. And it was out of this world! The restaurant definitely provides laid-back Brewery vibes. Feel free to bring a deck of cards and hang out with friends after the game or on a weekend afternoon.

    I ate at Bluejacket with my parents and boyfriend on a Friday night in June. The restaurant appeared almost entirely booked on Open Table, but when we got there, the place was not busy at all. If you ever run into a situation where the time slot you want is not available online, my advice would be to call the restaurant and have them set up your reservation. The menu was simple enough for my parents, who get thrown off my small-plate restaurants. The four entrees ordered were the scallops, two burgers, and the [whitefish]. We started with the mussels. All of the food came out very quickly and was super delicious. Our table also ordered a couple beers. My father, who doesn't drink much, even ordered one of the "tasting pours" to try. Overall, the food, service and atmosphere was great. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Navy Yard and certainly for folks who prefer entrees over share/small plates.

    Mumbo Chicken Sandwich
    Robert A.

    This past Friday I came to Bluejacket for the first time prior to the Nationals game. Bluejacket is located in the heart of The Yards next to the Washington Navy Yard. There is both inside and outside seating at this restaurant. Since it was a hot day I chose to sit inside. My waiter did a good job explaining both the menu and the in house brewery options. To start I tried a couple of the signature brews "for the company." It was on the lighter side, but had great flavor. For my meal I ordered the Mumbo chicken sandwich. The piece of chicken was huge! The mumbo sauce made it very messy, but gave it a ton of flavor. It also came with fries. Once I finished those I was stuffed. Before tip my bill came to just under $30. For the amount of food you get and for being in DC the prices are incredibly reasonable. The restaurant/brewery was clean and well taken care of. You can get here either by metro or if you are driving there is a small amount of street parking or you can park in any number of the paid lots in and around The Yards. I was very impressed. Keep up the good work Bluejacket. I hope to be back soon the next time I catch a Nationals game.

    Came here without reservations for a late lunch on Father's Day. This restaurant is very spacious with high ceilings and an industrial feel. Our waiter, Connor was very attentive. We had a delicious brunch/lunch there. The fried chicken sandwich was delicious. The perfect pairing with coleslaw and sliced pickles. The piece of chicken was huge and slathered in a sweet and sour and a bit of spicy sauce. We also ordered the breakfast platter that had eggs, bacon, ham, sausage and toast. We shared the cinnamon buns and they were very tasty and freshly baked! I would definitely come back again!

    Beer menu

    So I do judge a restaurant by its salad dressings. The ones here are good, I didn't ask but I would guess they are house made. Been here a few times, and I have really liked everything. First the ambience is cool. Industrial brewery look, garage doors open in summer. The beer is great, lots of interesting kinds and a couple rotating flavors. You can get small single pours of beer so you can try multiple kinds, their version of a flight. The food is excellent. The double burger is awesome, homemade version of Big Mac. The 1/2 pound burger is delicious too, with an onion ring and other stuff on it. Yummy. Beef cooked to order which is nice. The salads are great, dressings definitely good. The porchetta sandwich is delicious, but it needs more meat to round out the meat to bread ratio. Homemade tater tots-delicious, and the fries are really good too, I don't think they are previously frozen. They even have pierogies! They were excellent. Prices are ok, a meal could run $20-25 pp if you get beer, but they don't skimp on the portions. Servers are friendly, and will do separate checks which was extremely nice.

    Great location to hit up after a Nationals game. Try the Mexican Radio....great flavor. Soft and silky Just make sure you pay attention to the time if you're doing a mid week baseball game....could be an expensive cab ride home. Plenty of TVs around the bar. Not a bad spot in the bar area. Decor is inviting

Thankfully we ended up at the Unconventional Diner and it was perfect for satisfying everyone in the group!! We were all able to get tasty drinks- from n/a Hibiscus Citrus lemonade, white wine, a cinnamon toast old fashioned (what? A cereal inspired old fashioned, yes please and it was fantastic!), and a Bourbon basil smash. Then the crew settled on some food-the waiter was patient with the questions and contemplation from the table (thank you!). We started with the SKILLET CORNBREAD with Habanero Honey Butter | Sea Salt (v) And that was melt in your mouth cornbread. Damn. Real cornbread seems hard to come by any more and this is the real deal. And the honey butter and flake sea salt-can't go wrong. I'm a spice weeny-for reals-and this was incredible. It's a MUST get. Across the table we had two of the double cheese burgers (I warned, we have a lack of adventurous eaters) -and they both said the burgers were the best they've had. I had the Philly French double dip, with horseradish cream and caramelized onions-so fantastic-the roast beef was melt in your mouth and the broth was the perfect saltiness. Our fourth got the fried chicken sandwich and really loved the dill pickle slaw that came with it, and the chicken was not over cooked and not raw-perfect! We all had fries with our meals, the thinner kind with light seasoning and none of us could stop eating them, even when we were clearly full, the fries just kept disappearing.

    First off: this is no longer the Moon Rabbit restaurant. I never remembered the name. Only the…read morelocation. And the bunny logo. That restaurant moved to Penn Quarter a year ago and it's been about 4 years since I last went. I didn't even think I was in a new restaurant until I couldn't find the gold rabbit logo. The interior of the two restaurants is similar enough and having rolls with salmon roe topping your honey miso butter is not far off from what you might have found eating a fried chicken dish with a subtle Vietnamese twist at Moon Rabbit. The concept of WillowSong is nothing new: farm-to-table. But the flavors are beyond what we could of expected! The waiter explained how the chefs source their food from farms within a certain geographical radius. I definitely recommend a visit here for a special dinner that will leave you wanting to come back. The house made milk bread was served piping hot. The aroma - as I picked one roll up - was so indicative of bread you knew you were going to enjoy. The honey miso butter was not typical, and I loved it. It had a citrusy aftertaste and was not too sweet. I didn't eat the salmon roe - mentioned earlier topping the honey miso butter - but it was an interesting juxtaposition. The Squid Ink Oricchiette - black elbow pasta - was lovely. I asked the waiter, "Which is more popular here, the sea bass or the oricchiette?" He confidently said that if he had to choose, it would be the oricchiette and the Yelp reviews say the same. There was an inherent subtle heat and the jumbo lump crab meat was tasty. The squid ink pasta was cooked perfectly al dente and the tomato jus herb crumble was well-seasoned. The micro greens garnish added such a nice, crisp crunch. The citrus olive oil ricotta - underneath of the pasta - had a good balancing effect. The grilled maple citrus pork chop - when featured - is a not-to-miss! The flavors were divine. You got the sweetness of the maple sauce and a really nice sear with the char-grilled aftertaste. Just the kind of flavor I look for. Cutting into the pork chop was easy as it was so tender. All of the herb and vegetable flavors in the charred gratin (Swiss chard simmered in a creamy garlic sauce) really came together for something delightful. The Swiss chard was cooked well, yet had a good crunch with a definite farm-to-table flavor, straight from the garden. We were here on a weekend night. A rowdier after-9pm crowd formed for a televised game. I've seen it much busier here on weeknights at Moon Rabbit, before 9pm, and the waiter said the crowds here are similar. I liked that it was more bustling on the boardwalk and calmer inside of this restaurant, before the sporting event crowd around the bar. There are so many restaurants to choose from at the Wharf, and many of them are packed and touristy. When you step inside of WillowSong, there is no crowding and the environment is calm. I would next like to try the Hamache Tartar. It is made with chili oil, preserved lemon, scallion, cashew, Eva's Garden mouse melon, serrano and cilantro. The staff said the breakfasts at WillowSong are very popular and are from 9am to 1pm. Cornmeal pancakes? Hello. Look at the Yelp photos to see the breakfast offering deliciousness at WillowSong. If the birthday dessert that we enjoyed was any indication, I would have to believe him. It was a chocolate brownie-like pastry with granola and graham crust, flowers and fruit. The dark chocolate ganache was decadent. This was a hazelnut dessert which I would have never ordered because I find the flavor overpowering. They kindly surprised us by bringing out a dessert they chose, with a lit candle and singing. I was so glad that the hazelnut flavor was subtle and that it did not taste like a Nutella dessert. The birthday dessert was subtlety-flavored with hazelnut but chocolatey and rich, otherwise. I think there was oatmeal or granola in it. This was a decadent experience. Love that the restaurant has margaritas and sangrias on draught. In the sangria you can find: mango purée, white wine, apple brandy and soda water. Would love to try, next time. As much as I love the Vietnamese fusion fare at Moon Rabbit, I was equally as delighted with the more global dining experience at WillowSong. And the lovely, warm service.

    The Salt Line, Washington DC (Navy Yard)…read more Scoping out the Navy Yard, trying to find a restaurant for the six of us on the Wednesday that Bruce Springsteen was performing at Nationals Stadium, I spent the prior Sunday at The Salt Line (which is about a 10-minute walk to the stadium). I was there during brunch service and found a menu that covered a lot of bases. My main interest was seeing if they still offered fried clam bellies, a rarity in the D.C. restaurant scene. Nope, no bellies, but on offer under the brunch appetizers were Stuffies (three baked top neck clams, smoked linguica, lemon, breadcrumbs, house hot sauce, $13), along with more traditional starters, including clam chowder ($7 cup, $12 bowl), fried calamari (roasted garlic pomodoro sauce, fried cherry peppers & artichoke, lemon, $15). I ended up ordering the North Shore Roast Beef sandwich (horseradish cream, BBQ sauce, American cheese, onion roll, with fries, $19). More than enough for brunch and lunch the following day. Service was good, and the meal was excellent. Note the Salt Line's transparency, where it explains that "DC restaurants have been operating with dynamic and significant increases in labor wages, food costs, and the general cost of doing business in DC. We have chosen to implement a 4% operational surcharge - which does not go towards gratuity - as the most comprehensive way to address this." Seems to me to strike a decent balance, but I'm not all that up to date about the living wage issue in the services industry. In any event I respect The Salt Line's management for being up front about their surcharge policy.
