I was very happy to find out that the majority of the food was gluten free, however the food was too spicy for my taste. Would be nice if they had a spice level on the menu.

Daniel, our server was fantastic. We asked for recommendations. He asked questions to gauge where we could go in terms of heat, gluten, etc. he gave us a few recommendations and they did not disappoint. Having knowledgeable staff is key. Daniel Explained all the questions We had and even gave assistance with others. The meatloaf was fantastic. The calamari is beyond fantastic. We decided to have a Guinness and while we were there drinking the Guinness we had fries as well. Everything was hot and delicious. This was the second time there without anything negative to say. The fish and chips are definitely something you can share. This is definitely the place to go on the wharf.

Gordon Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen did not disappoint! The atmosphere was light, relaxing and welcoming and the all the staff, including our amazing waitress, were simply perfect! They were all immensely friendly and incredibly helpful in accommodating my Girlfriends gluten and black pepper allergies! They did phenomenal! Our food was literally an incredible gastro experience! My Girlfriend had the Chicken Scallopini and I had the Beef Wellington! Both were just incredible and even more so delicious! Our cocktails were amazing too! Gordon Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen did not disappoint! I highly recommend eating here if your visiting DC or are simply a fan who wants the Ramsay Experience!

We really enjoyed our experience here. With our allergies (gluten and dairy) the staff was attentive and flexible with our needs. It’s always appreciated people know what is in the dishes they are making, and we were either redirected to other choices or a modification can be made. The deviled eggs were prepared without dairy (in the mousse) and they were still delicious. Green beans and sweet potatoes were paired with our steaks and they amazing. We also enjoyed our cocktails — Manhattan Noir — which were prepared perfectly, and topped with three Luxardo cherries. Atmosphere was great as well. The boardwalk area is fun and vibrant. The Grill makes an excellent choice for a higher end meal in this area.

Some of the best tacos I’ve had, especially for late-night, in the city. Two tacos are plenty — not the tiny street tacos you’ll find at some spots. I prefer their flour tortillas, but you can get corn if you prefer a non-gluten option. The steak tacos and burritos are the best meat option in my opinion, but the chicken is a pretty good runner-up if you’re looking for something a little lighter. Their yellow rice is fantastic, and the side salad is surprisingly enjoyable too because most side salads at Mexican spots are mediocre at best. If you’re getting guac, the chips aren’t too phenomenal, maybe because they get cold so quickly and don’t tend to have enough salt — but the guac is fresh and flavorful, so it’s worth ordering them paired with that. Definitely a worthwhile spot to get solid, non-greasy Mexican food on the regular.
