Enjoying seafood by the DC waterfront is practically a rite of passage, and Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips – The Wharf D.C. brings a refreshing contrast to the area’s many upscale, high‑priced restaurants. It’s a welcome stop for travelers who want something quick, tasty, and relatively affordable—especially after wandering the sprawling dock area with an appetite that’s grown along the way.

Families are well accommodated, thanks to dedicated children's meals that make it an easy pick for a casual outing. While seafood is the star, the menu also includes chicken options and a solid range of beverages, including alcoholic drinks, giving visitors plenty of flexibility in what they choose to enjoy.

The only downside was that the servers there weren't very smiling or friendly in responding to our greetings, except for one who helped take pictures for us.
