My husband and I came here for dinner. It is an Italian restaurant it seems. The place is nice, though the tables are a bit crowded. The restaurant has a bar and an outdoor dining space which has the view of the harbour and the huge Ferris Wheel which is beautiful at night. This place is pricey for my taste. My husband ordered a Hamburger. The dish comes with a big hamburger with fries on the side and a small serving of ketchup for the fries. The buns had no mayonnaise, so my husband asked for some and put mayonnaise on the buns. He didn’t finish his burger though; and just said he is full. As for myself, I ordered the Shrimp Scampi; and I asked for extra parmesan cheese as well as red pepper flakes for extra flavor. The Shrimp Scampi was good. The serving was good too, a perfect dinner serving. I am giving this three stars because It is expensive and I didn’t see or feel anything special about the restaurant. The food is good, but nothing I cannot get from another Italian restaurant with a more reasonable pricing. I think the price is because of the location. This can be a good place for a date night, or a large family dinner. Will I go back? Probably not. There’s nothing in the menu that I’d like to come back for and try. Should you try it? Well, of course. I believe it is always best to experience the place yourself. It’s really not that bad that I’d say “No, don’t go”. You still might enjoy this place.

Nice restaurant. Very beautifully designed. The food tasted food. Server was friendly and attentive. Good experience overall. The only down side is that it is TOO EXPENSIVE for what you get. It simply ain't worth the spend. I got the Spaghetti and Meatballs. Basically the same quality you could get at Olive Garden for less. A bit of a ripoff.

Bond 45 wasn’t what I had hoped. I do admit the atmosphere was good along with the natural lighting.
However, the “Bond 45 Wing” were $18 for 5 tiny, fatty, chewy, wings. I assure you it ain’t worth half that price, minimum. I ordered the Half Rack of Ribs and Bond Burger. Note, nothing on the menu really popped out as being something unique or something I’d like to try. It was for the most part either; Steak or Pasta mixed with some sort of seafood addition…very limited options and selection. I personally desire unique food I can’t find anywhere else. That’s what I expected here, but it was just…bland.

This is my absolute favorite restaurant in the National Harbor. The food is always fantastic and no matter what I order I am always delighted with my meal! The service is unmatched. The staff truly cares about your experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to eat.

My husband and I really enjoyed Bond 45. We are not from DC, but will definitely be returning to dine here again. The server was very friendly and attentive. The ambience was nice, with good music selections and views of the water. The food was really good.

It was a friend's birthday get together. Excellent Atmosphere , Superb Food. I had the Lobster Mac n Cheese. It exceeded my expectations. We had a great waiter named Oscar... he pulled out all the stops for my friend's birthday.

Had a team dinner here and it was a a bit crowded. Staff was on point and made it a great evening.
Good food, decent GF options. My one wish was that they would offer a GF pasta as most Italian themed restaurants do these days, but not available here.

Great vibe to this spot. I enjoyed the look of the restaurant as much as the food. Our waiter was very nice. The Chicken Parmesan is highlighted on their menu for good reason. It was a very nicely presented and tasty dish. The tiramisu and coffee to follow was also nice. I was seated in one of the atrium spaces that provide a great view of National Harbor. I would like to return to spend some time in the inviting bar area and inner dining rooms.
