Getting a table

Book the morning your window opens, right at 6 AM Eastern. I do this for my clients.

Tips

  • Hardest reservation in DCA - book as close to 60 days out as you can
  • The downstairs dining room and the separate Boardwalk Dining alfresco patio both have waterfront views of Pixar Pier and the bay
  • Brunch (9 AM to 1 PM on select days) and lunch are usually easier bookings than dinner
  • Lobster nachos are big enough to be a meal - the cult order for a reason
  • No reservation? Ask the host about walk-up availability or check the app for same-day openings

Best for

  • Pixar fans
  • Adults and date nights
  • Waterfront views
  • Lobster nachos pilgrims
