Diner Reviews
  • "Great food, Great drinks and very attentive service! They accommodated all our special requests and did so very graciously."

  • "Ordered medium rare filet that came out well done. Probably the last time."
    Dined on 3/8/2014
  • "The food and service were excellent. The ambiance was a bit casual, but this may be one of those restaurants that has separate sections for causally dressed tourists/vacationers and then a formal dining room for those in business attire, which I can appreciate."
    Dined on 3/8/2014
  • "I travel for work and eat out frequently. The food was good but not worth the 5star Michelin high prices. Bring your prices down a bit more to reality"
    Dined on 3/7/2014
  • "Bond 45 is a New York restaurant. Food quality is evident of that. Prices are as well. The only thing that was slightly less than perfect was the New York cheesecake. It's not Junior's. It was OK, but not up to New York standards. Overall, I would recommend Bond 45 for virtually any occasion."

  • "My experience at Bond 45 was excellent! The food was delicious, the "prohibition cocktail" was great, and my server was outstanding. She was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. Overall, a delightful evening."

  • "Went to Bond to celebrate a birthday. The food was amazing (specifically the mozzarella & prosciutto appetizer and the filet mignon). The wait staff sang Happy Birthday in Italian & brought a cotton candy "cake" that was a special surprise. Complimentary fresh, warm chocolate chip cookies were served with limencello (which was amazing). Overall it was a great experience and would definitely go back for another special occasion ($$$)."

  • "This place was a great option for my husband's birthday dinner. Seafood was excellent, and the setting on the Potomac was wonderful. Would definitely recommend and go again."
    Dined on 3/1/2014
  • "For the price I would expect the best food and service. The only thing great about this restaurant is the wine."
    Dined on 2/26/2014
  • "If you want to enjoy a meal with a great atmosphere, and even greater food and service, Bond 45 is an excellent choice. This was my second visit to the restaurant and I was not disappointed. The waitstaff is attentative and offer great recommendations. I would recommend Bond 45 for an intimate dinner as well as for a small party (less than 10)."

  • "We wanted to go somewhere new, so we tried Bond 45. Overall, it was good, but not great. We were seated at a table overlooking the water and the busy waterfront, so that was nice. The server and other staff were all very friendly, so I'll give them that. I felt like the menu items were just way too expensive for this restaurant. Drinks were so pricey, and the smallest filet (8 oz) was too expensive and came with no sides. You'd have to purchase sides separately, and they were about $12 each on average. Yikes. I feel like we could have gone to Ruths' Chris and had a phenomenal meal for the amount of money we spent here for just an okay meal. We didn't order dessert because nothing really sounded good. I don't know if we'll go back again."

  • "I made a reservation for a special occasion thinking the food would be fantastic and memorable Unfortunately it was not that. It was good but not great. The lobster was over cooked and other dishes were not as sumptous as they could be. The desserts were excellent but not the entrees. We will not be back."
    Dined on 2/22/2014
  • "We had a very lovely time at Bond 45, creating a memorable experience for us. The wait staff was excellent and provided us a romantic seat as requested on Open Table. The food was more than excellent! We both had steaks, some of the house made mozzarella, and potatoes. We don't drink, so I can't comment on the bar/wine list. One of the best places to go to celebrate a special evening with someone."
    Dined on 2/22/2014
  • "Food is great. Fried artichoke hearts were fantastic. We ate Italian, next time will try the steaks. Big portions and very, very good..."
    Dined on 2/22/2014

  • "A friend and I met at Bond 45 one Friday evening. The food is good, not great. But the staff is awesome! EVERYBODY spoke and smiled. Our waiter was great and was very knowledgable about items on the menu that was asked to be explained. Overall, its a very nice restaurant."

  • "Friends had been so over the top about this restaurant that I had determined to make it a special occasion for the Lovely and Talented Mrs. F. Suffice it to say that due to the character limits of this website a thorough review isn't possible. My wife and daughter both said that my steaks are better then theirs. I humbly agree. Setting was nice. Restaurant layout is weird. I had food service mega paks of foil and plastic staring at me while I ate my dinner. Seafood, lobster was chewy, and most seafood experienced was over cooked. The highlights were the wine, prawn salad and coconut cake and coffee for dessert. We have eaten at Volt in Frederick, MD. We spent less for 2 five flights and a 3 flight and enjoyed it 10 times better."

  • "I love the food. A coworker told me about the 45 an he was on point. I went on V.D. an it was great."

  • "I took my daughter there for a special occasion....they sat us in a patio room/porch and the chairs were very uncomfortable. We ordered the mozzarella which was recommended and I asked if there was enough to share with 2 and was told it was a big portion....well it was not....I ordered the filet mignon and was not happy at all...it was dry and chewy and very small for the $40 I paid....the waitress was fawning all over another table that got lobster and I felt like we were second fiddle....for spending $150 with no alcohol it was a huge disappointment....would never go back"

  • "My girlfriend was staying at National Harbor and Bond45 was recommended to me by a co-worker. The service was excellent, wine list was not extensive but good selection. I made reservations and just happened to sit a table with spectacular water views, so if you want water views I believe you should request. There is outside dining but this was winter, in the warmer weather the outside dining looks nice. The food was very good, we all had seafood but the steaks looked great. Presentation and service was excellent. I would go back to this resturant. I wish they had valet parking as it was very cold and had to walk from garage to resturant."
    Dined on 1/25/2014
  • "While the food was good, the service was exceptionally slow. I'm not sure if it was just an off night for the staff or if they were short staffed. For the price paid we anticipated a much better level of service."
    Dined on 1/10/2014
  • "Steak was as pricey as a Mortons/Palm, but the taste was not even close. Sides were shaky. Desserts were bland."

  • "Everything was excellent. My inlaws 1st time there & they were blown away."

  • "Did a birthday celebration at Bond 45. Juan M was our primary waiter and was he special. the other staff was remarkable, also, but Juan just made th eevening flow making the biirthday guy feel extra special. The mel was great, the extras that Juan provided were so nice and unexpected. it was not a terriffically busy night, so the noise level was low; the food was beautifully served and was outstanding; the staff sang "Happy Birthday" which got the other patron's attention 'cause they did such a good job; and we let feeling like this was a special place to celebrate."

  • "We lucked out finding a same day reservation on open table...so we cancelled our NYE dinner plans at a neighboring restaurant. Everything was wonderful at Bond 45! We arrived earlier than our reservation and the host was able to seat us immediately. Jamie H was our server and she was amazing! Excellent knowledge of the menu and she made solid recommendations when we were torn between dinner choices. The fillet special that night was delicious. Jamie recommended wines that were a hit (try the Walking Tree Cab!) This was our first visit and we will be back!"

  • "My family and I went to Bond 45 to celebrate my mother's 60th birthday and could not have enjoyed ourselves more! Our group of 4 was seated in a room just off the main restaurant. The waiter was extremely friendly and brought us champagne as soon as he heard we were celebrating a birthday. (Which he also brought to the couple next to us who got engaged just as we were hearing the specials!) The food was excellent, as was the service. And we thoroughly enjoyed the cotton candy with the candle and "Happy Birthday" sung in Italian! I'd go back just for the chocolate chip cookies offered from the pan. Can't wait to go back!"

  • "The place was nice the service was very good but the food was way to salty or had no seasoning at all"

  • "This was my first time to this restaurant, I saw that it had some pretty great reviews so I trusted them with delivering an exceptional meal for my engagement (I proposed later that night). The service was awesome, very attentive but not too attentive. My glass was never empty. The appetizer was awesome, we had the calamari and shrimp with fried jalapenos. We selected an excellent bottle of Shiraz and then she ordered in the bone filet and I ordered the in the bone Ribeye... OMG the steaks were amazingly cooked to perfection. I think they are dry aged for ~28 days or something, best steak I have ever had. Pricy, but worth it!!! I also loved that they were giving out chocolate chip baked cookies direct from the cooking sheet pan. :)"
    Dined on 12/31/2013
  • "The appetizer we shared was very good, however the filet and crab entres we ordered were dry and flavorless. Definitely not worth the inflated price."
    Dined on 12/28/2013
  • "I went there for lunch with some friends that had never been to National Harbor. Where we sat, the view of the river and bridge was spectacular. The food was good but very pricey for lunch. Add the fact that it cost $9 to park in the garage and this became a rather expensive lunch experience."
    Dined on 12/29/2013
  • "The waiter was friendly however we were in a tight space and he actually hit my daughter in the head on 3 separate occasions with 2 plates and 1 bowl. He did not apologize he just continued with his process. We went there to celebrate Christmas and well the food was good but other than that I was disappointed. 3 different people came to clear plates from the table and each time they took 2 and walked away leaving additional plates. I was not asked if i would like another drink nor was my daughter or my god daughter. I really thought this place would be over the top, but I was mistaken. I will not go back to this establishment again."
    Dined on 12/25/2013
  • "My family took me here for my birthday. The lobster Mac wasn't what I thought but was great and the presentation was great. Portions were just right. Prices were good. We were seated in the back with a loud group next to us and a family with a small child on the other side and still had a good dinner."
