Nick’s Riverside Grille

Nick’s Riverside Grille

After deciding to take a walk along the Georgetown waterfront, we started to get hungry. There is a row of several restaurants in one area of the waterfront as we were approaching the Foggy Bottom section of the city. We chose to eat at the first one we saw, Nick’s Riverside Grille.

The first thing I noticed upon entering the restaurant was the section set aside for the outdoor bar. There were rows of chairs set up in front of the bar, all facing out towards the Potomac River. So if the weather is good and you are in the mood to enjoy a refreshing beverage while looking out upon the relaxing view, this is a good spot for you.

We were seated at a table with a red umbrella and plastic chairs. The menu included mainly standard American fare. For lunch, the menu offered mainly soups, salads, and sandwiches, although a few heavier meals were available. We were only in the mood for a light meal, so we chose the fruit and cheese plate, the grilled cheese with fries, and the tomato salad (with fresh mozzarella). The cheeses that came with the cheese plate were brie, Muenster, and American slices. Accompanying them were grapes and not-so-ripe cantaloupe and honeydew melons.

Our waiter was not terribly friendly, nor did he come over when we were seated quickly. We had to wait for a while before we could order drinks. And he didn’t check to see how our meals were.

The grilled cheese and the tomato salad were decent, but nothing exceptional. The prices here are reasonable considering the view; however, the quality of the food is not quite consistent with the prices. I would still recommend visiting Nick’s for the location.
