National Landing Water Park — Restaurant in Washington

The Water Park at National Landing offers a fantastic concept, akin to a food truck city but with brick-and-mortar establishments lining a vibrant strip. With plenty of outdoor seating, it's an inviting spot, especially on a hot day. You can find solace under shaded umbrellas or strike up a conversation with strangers at communal tables, just as we did.

Our culinary adventure included duck fat fries and a meal from Tikki Thai. While the variety of food options is impressive, our experience was mixed. The meal for two nearly cost us $100, totaling over $80 once parking across the street was factored in due to limited street parking. The Thai food, while flavorful, was excessively spicy, leaving us desperate for water. On the plus side, the Thai tea was delicious. The duck fries, however, were bland and needed a generous helping of ketchup and pepper to be palatable.

We couldn't help but feel that we might have been better off at the pizza and wine spot. Additionally, the burger offerings being exclusively plant-based was a disappointment. This location would greatly benefit from a traditional beer and burger option to round out its offerings.

The water bar itself is stunning, with a serene ambiance perfect for a calming break. Despite its beauty, it lacks substantial food options outside of oysters, though it would make an excellent spot for happy hour. The bar is impressive, and the water feature adds a relaxing touch to the environment.

A word of caution: be prepared for a bit of a trek up the hill or a shortcut through the grass to reach the park. Overall, the Water Park at National Landing is a visually appealing spot with potential, but the food experience leaves room for...

Venturing into the water park, I was greeted by an abundance of dining options that catered to a wide range of palates. From the savory delights of PhoWheels to the vegetarian options of Bubbie’s, the diversity in cuisine was commendable. The presence of Queen Mothers, Cracked Eggery, Tiki Thai, Crush, Water Bar, Falafel, and DC Dosa ensured that every visitor could find something to satisfy their cravings. The ample outdoor seating provided not just comfort but also an opportunity to bask in the sun and enjoy the meals in a serene environment.

The park itself was a testament to meticulous maintenance and thoughtful design, boasting plenty of greenery that added a refreshing touch to the ambiance. It was a pleasant surprise to find the bathrooms in such a clean and hygienic condition, reflecting the park management's commitment to ensuring a comfortable experience for all visitors.

The inclusive atmosphere made it a perfect getaway for families looking to spend quality time together, and the allowance for dogs meant that our furry friends didn’t have to miss out on the fun. This aspect alone set the park apart, highlighting its dedication to catering to the needs of all guests.

The Water Park stands out as a remarkable destination for those seeking a fun, relaxing, and gastronomically satisfying day out. With its diverse range of restaurants, lush green settings, pristine facilities, it is a delightful experience for visitors of all ages and...

It was a lovely and lively Friday evening with a great band and lots and lots of people enjoying the music and the outdoors. Guessing this will prevail every Friday for a few more weeks. There's a small Peruvian outdoors eatery called Peruvian Brothers. Have been meaning to try their food for a while, but that was the most disappointing part of an otherwise lovely summer evening. Their chicharrón- a Peruvian burger with salted pork tenderloin, grilled sweet potatoes and criolla sauce - was strictly ok. I thought it was rather dry and below okay to tell you the truth, but my husband found it okay, so let's go with his rating. Their empanadas, supposedly baked was also below average. I ordered a Peruvian drink -- a Pisco slushy which was never delivered because the slush machine wasn't working so I substituted it with a chilcano instead. I found that too sour and...
