Best Live Music Restaurants in Southwest Waterfront

Had a wonderful pre-theater meal here. Our server Dierdre gave amazing recommendations. I loved the steak fries. The chimichurri was really bright and the garlic parm fries to die for. Definitely worth the trip.

We made a reservation for the restaurant, but our goal was to make it down to the Roja Lounge. It's first come first serve and a smaller space, but we were eager to try it. The tequila and mezcal selection was very interesting and we were looking forward to try some of their cocktails or even a flight. Turns out, we were intrigued by the Mexican wines so we didn't do any cocktails! My husband did try a Mezcal that he really enjoyed. We ended up just ordering appetizers and were very full. Our favorite were the wagyu beef empanadas. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. It was a Sunday night and there was live music. By the time we left at 7pm the place was popping!

First time here and, while the overall experience was positive and we'd return, there were a couple of disappointments. The good stuff is that we really liked the ambience/decor/vibe and our waiter (Bobby) was excellent. We enjoyed our lumpia appetizer, but didn't love our entrees. I've never included a bathroom in my review but will this time because it was disgusting. There are 5 private unisex bathrooms and we can confirm that at least 2 were dirty and gross. It's a nice restaurant with not inexpensive prices so having some attention on cleanliness would be good.

I am vegan and the server had no problem making sure my meal was dairy-free and meat-free. She even told me there was fish broth in the Miso Soup, which I didn’t order due to her honesty. I think the restaurant should include the fish broth on the list of ingredients on the menu. Every ingredient should be listed when it comes to meat, diary or any spice with heat (cayenne, chili, etc.). Good food, good service. I have never had a bad meal here.

Our waitress was extremely nice .. view was FABULOUS !!! It’s a must while in DC .. it win the Wharf district so great views .. Thk you very much !! 😎😎
