This reservation was for my boss, Alex. He had dinner with 3 guests and text'd after dinner to say "I know I don't do a lot of dinners at the Wharf but the Grill is great. HH too."

We noted on the reservation that we were celebrating our anniversary. The hostess acknowledged it and that was it. We were sat at a table that was near the servers station, so there were people always hovering behind us. We opted for the Sunset Dinner. The salad that was served with the dinner was the most basic salad I've ever had, iceberg lettuce, a grape tomato cut in half, a slice of carrot and soaked in Seven Seas Italian dressing. When I commented to the server, he chuckled and said the dinner would be better. It was just ok. I would not recommend for a special occasion.

I went there for the express lunch. Service was great, food was great and came out soon enough, ambience was great. I was in and out within 40 minutes and on time for my meeting at the Spy Museum.

We sat outside - which was great (understood outside seating is very limited) . The noise level wasn't high there, but we did note inside to be quite noisy. Had a GREAT waiter. Did enjoy the flourless chocolate cake and my sniffed her brandy for dessert.
