    This was our first time at this establishment. The food was amazing! Service was good. We had an early dinner so it was pretty quiet. They were playing some nice 80’s-90’s music which was good. We will definitely be going back.

    Arrived on a very busy Saturday night and were seated promptly. My guest and I both selected Voyage entrees which included a starter (we chose salads) in the price. The salads were outstanding and a large size. Then the entrees we chose were Bourbon Salmon and Lobster Carbonara. Both were served piping hot and were excellent and enjoyed very much. Many festive holiday decorations in the National Harbor area to see before or after dinner.

    The 3 Arancini appetizer was moist, delicious and full of meat. Lasagna was a huge portion and also very meat intense!!! It was my birthday, and since I don't drink, the server made me a delicious cocktail. A complimentary birthday dessert was well appreciated. Server was very attentive and friendly. Prices were moderate. Thoroughly enjoyed the meal with a beautiful over the water view and 5:30 fireworks. I'm coming back!!!
