Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Milk & Honey - The Wharf offers a vibrant atmosphere with "amazing food," especially their "shrimp and grits" and "chicken waffles." While the music is "lively," some find it loud. Service is a mixed bag, with highlights like server Justine, who is "amazing," and occasional slow service. The "drinks are excellent," and it's a top spot for "brunch with a DJ."

    Vibrant spot with excellent food. Music was so loud that the waiter got our order wrong. Bar was backed up so my drink never appeared. But everything was forgiven because of their Shrimp and Grits!

    This was the first time I been here and I got to say the food was amazing!!! The biscuits - chefs kiss! Crispy chicken sandwich with fries were on the money, and the Mac and Cheese boy did that hit the spot. Not much of a drinker but the Kool Aid Cosmo was great!

    Overall service was good and fast. The Patron tower was cute but taste more like juice. The pineapple Hennessy was very good. I would rate it about 8/10. I would definitely go back.

    While I understand it was a busy weekend, the hostesses could use some better training on being more personable and welcoming as the first impression of the restaurant. Some of the food runners seemed confused about tables they were delivering food, noticed this a few times, due to trying to deliver to multiple tables at once. Overall the food was amazing for sure. We had the fried green tomatoes, honey old bay wings, power bowl and chicken and waffles. The biscoff expresso martini was bombbbbbbb!! I would definitely recommend. A few other dishes caught my eye, I would gladly take the trip back to DC for this place.
