We went to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary. We had a party of 7 and we all had a good time. The view of DC at night, was really cool, especially when we went under the bridge with the main mast down, you felt like you could touch the bottom of the bridge! Overall, it was a great evening.Written on Jul 29 2011

We were fortunate to have lovely weather for our dinner cruise. You can go outside whenever you wish during the dinner service, there is a little break between the salad and dinner. If you aren't at your table the server will leave your food with a cover over it.Written on Jul 19 2011
My prime rib was tender and perfectly cooked, my husband had the basil parmesan chicken which he also enjoyed.
We enjoyed being outside since it was such nice weather. All in all an enjoyable evening.
