Moonraker has never disappointed! Every visit delivers on great food, drinks, and ambiance. This time, I ordered the shrimp dumplings and the Wall Street roll, paired with the Blushing Geisha cocktail. Everything was on point.The flavors were fresh, the presentation was beautiful, and the service was smooth as always. If you're ever in SW, make sure you check out Moonraker--it's a spot that never misses!

I can't say enough about Moonraker. The views, the food and the drinks are amazing. I must say it is super expensive IMO. We enjoyed everything! The drinks (we had Blushing Geisha and one other...I can't remember the name) were so good. We definitely had too many! The tempura cauliflower was my fave but the fried chicken, dumplings and tuna rolls were delish. Honestly, all of that was filling for 2 people. We did have a dessert that was a unique take on cheesecake. It was delish. The service was amazing. Everyone was extremely nice. Food came out timely. The service definitely matched the prices! If you are not familiar with the area, the restaurant is located in Pendry Hotel (penthouse level). There is a parking garage. If you drive, give yourself additional time (30 minutes) to get to the parking garage and park. If you can, uber is the best way to go.

It was my first time dining in at Moonraker and would definitely be on my list of places I would come back to and recommend to friends visiting the Pendry or the Wharf. Our host Justin and bartender James provided phenomenal service. We were sat at the bar and the wait time for food and drinks were fast considering it was a busy Saturday night. We ordered the Pork Belly Fried Rice, Mushroom Tempura and Ebi Roll which were great choices for a filling dinner. We tried their Cuzu and Ichigo-go cocktails and they were served with great flavor and cute garnishes. We ended the night with both their desserts which were the Matcha Affogato and Prefiteroles with a yuzu cream and caramel syrup which were fantastic. Would definitely recommend this for a date night out in DC and you can even enjoy the amazing views on the rooftop patio.

I absolutely loved Moonraker! We wanted to enjoy the sunset with cocktails and small bites, and this spot did not disappoint. Our group of seven had a reservation timed perfectly for sunset, and the experience was magical. The cocktails were fantastic, especially the mezcal and whiskey highballs--definitely must-tries! Despite the chilly weather, we stayed outside and soaked in the stunning views. It was my first time at the Wharf, and visiting Moonraker made it totally worth it. I can't wait to come back!

When I'm near the Wharf, I like dropping by Moonraker for a late night bite or cocktail. They have a great selection of sushi (great Crudo) and seasonal drinks. Very laidback atmosphere. In the winter, there are outdoor fire pits with amazing views of the water and cityline.

Absolutely stunning views of the Potomac River and the Wharf from Moonraker! I've been for breakfast, happy hour and dinner and cannot recommend them enough. I stayed at the Pendry for my 40th birthday and ate at Moonraker every morning and just enjoyed the views. Everyone was very nice and I was always greeted with a smile. The bagel and lox was a favorite of mine because it was so fresh. I also tried the American breakfast which came with eggs and a choice of meat. I recommend going for breakfast so you can sit outside and eat while watching the boats on the Potomac.

Location location location with amazing roof top views of the Wharf....periodt. We arrived at 2:30pm to be told they close at 3pm and reopen at 4pm ok no worries they were super polite. Came back at 4pm and since we didn't have a reservation we were seated outside which was super hot but managed to move to a shaded area, result!Tequila espresso martini was delicious, however everyone else's drinks off the cocktail menu were not as delicious, so Shayna our server took them off the check (she was amazing). Sushi and edamame was very good.Prices were extreme for what we got and probably wouldn't make an effort to return but if you are looking for views and ambiance don't hesitate to go for a pre dinner cocktail.

Moonraker offers stunning views of the wharf, making it a beautiful spot to relax. The service is great not gonna lie but I only went for a drink, which was pretty good but a bit pricey for what it was. My friends tried the pork fried rice, and they said it was really good. Overall, it's a nice place, but the prices are a bit steep for what you're getting.

Stopped in for after dinner drinks and loved every minute!!!!! Service was great and they gave great recommendations for drinks to our group. Moonraker sits on top of Pendry at the Wharf, so the views were lovely and there was a nice fire pit ! Did not try any food, so definitely would come back maybe for an after work outing!
