I'm this poster. You'll probably find easier parking in Georgetown than the Wharf. Tony and Joe's has lots of outdoor seating. I went last Saturday at 5:30pm, with no reservation, and was seated immediately, with a perfect view of the water.

The wharf has some big underground parking lots

There is an underground garage at the wharf but finding parking is REALLY hard- better to Valet park with one of the hotels to avoid the stress and time waste

Georgetown also has limited parking but I find it easier than parking at the wharf

This is a DC area message board. "The waterfront" means the SW Waterfront. This post is specific.

OP here and I’m a Boston native actually. So when I said “waterfront” I just meant “you can see the water while you’re sitting there eating.” Haha

So you came to a DC message board, asking for recommendations for Boston restaurants, and expected...what?

True, you can find parking lots at both places, really. I don't know what the OP considers non-chaotic parking. I live in DC and am used to street parking; I find street parking in Georgetown easy but not easy at the Wharf.

Agreed. Plus the wharf kinda feels like downtown Disney to me, a generic commercial development with no character.

There are some good ones on the water in old town alexandria.

I thought the same thing and was going to suggest Hummingbird in Old Town Alexandria. But it sounds like that would be too far for the op.

OP here and by “non-chaotic” I mean you drive there, there’s a parking lot owned by the restaurant, you park, you go in. We went to Georgetown waterfront last year and the drive, the traffic, the parking, the crowds was all too much. Easily stressed out family.

NP. I think you are misunderstanding OP. It doesn’t sound like she is looking for Boston recs now. She was just explaining the source of her verbiage.

Or at least it sounds that way to me.

Ada’s on the Potomac on old town has great fish and a wonderful wedge salad. I think they have ceasar but can’t remember?

Chart House or Ada's on the River in Alexandria. There is parking in several garages within a couple blocks.

OP and this is correct. I was just explaining that I didn’t mean SW Waterfront specifically when I the title of my post is “waterfront.” It’s just what we say in Boston to mean “ya can see the WATAH when having your CHOWDAH.”

You guys are such idiots, she's not in Boston, she's from Boston and looking for a restaurant in DC where she can see the water. So stupid.

OP, a lot of these restaurants are tourist traps - try Old Town or the Wharf (there are parking garages). DO NOT go to Georgetown, ick.

I've lived in DC my entire life, and I think of 'waterfront' the same way as you. Somewhere where you can sit and see the water.

Unless you know of some off-the-beat places, anything around here is a tourist trap in the summer.

How about Nick's Fish House - south end of Baltimore? Good food/great vibe.
