While visiting the Wash DC area this holiday, my family took me to the Washington National Harbor located off I-95 just over the Woodrow Wilson Bridge on the MD side. They are billing this area as Washington DC’s new resort and I can see why.
The area has several new hotels (Westin, A-Loft, Marriott, Hampton Inn, Wyndam, Gaylord); several restaurants; and condos for sale/lease. We were going to try Rosa Mexicano, but the wait was too long for us to endure. We instead tried Elevation Burger-an organic burger joint. I normally stay away from anything organic, or healthy when it comes to burgers…haha, but this place definitely gets a thumbs up. I tried the Elevation Burger which includes 2 grass fed beef patties with all the trimmings. For the most part, I could not tell a difference in taste between an organic burger or a regular fast food burger…which was a plus for me. I heard their milk shakes are tremendous, but since it was below freezing that evening, I passed on the shakes.
This place is definitely geared to host special events (especially at the Gaylord Hotel), but also great for casual business lunch/dinner.
